SCUDDER ON BUTTERFLIES OF UTAH AND ARIZONA. 255 



the extra-mesial row of silver spots on the hiud wings is distinctly fol- 

 lowed apically by a row of small, bordering, olivaceous spots; the tints 

 are all a little darker ; tlie submarginal band of the hind wings has 

 become of a saffron hue, and the inner margin of the same wings is 

 broadly sprinkled with green, a tint which appears more or less in other 

 parts, and especially on the costal margin of the hind winjjs and the 

 outer margin of the front wings. jSTotwithstanding these differences, 

 and the fact that A. coronis has not before been detected out of Califor- 

 nia, there seems to be no doubt tliat the specimen should be referred as 

 above. 



Lemonias anicia (Doubl.-Hew.) Scudd., var. editha. — ^Mokiak Pass, 

 April 28-30 or June 2 ; Pino Mountains, May 12 ; Paragoonah, July 

 10-12 ; Beaver Mountains, July 18-20. 



Lemonias helcita (Boisd.) Soudd. — Five specimens (4^,15) were 

 taken at Mokiak Pass, April 28-30 (or June 2), and Pine Mountains, May 

 12, and are the first perfect specimens I have been able to study. It 

 seems to be abundantly distinct from L. palla, of which Mr. W. H. 

 Edwards considers it only a variety. All the specimens agree very 

 closely, and differ from L. palla on the upper surface of the wings in the 

 decidedly paler and duller ground-color ; the middle of the outer half 

 of both wings is crossed in L. palla by a pair of almost exactly similar 

 and distinct, parallel, black bands ; the outer onl}' is distinct in L. helcita 

 (and is much narrower than in L. palla,) the inner being much fainter 

 and almost or quite obsolete in the middle of its course ; the pale 

 mesial band of the hind wings of L. palla is scarcely paler than the 

 other parts of the wing in L. helcita. Beneath, similar differences 

 occur; the fulvous tints are decidedly paler in L. helcita^ as above, 

 while the straw-yellow which marks the lunules and other pale spots 

 in L. palla is replaced by nacreous-white ; besides, the hind wings fur- 

 ther differ in the much greater extent of the pale markings, which are 

 not so compactly massed as in L. palla; the outer of the two cell-spots 

 especially is much larger than in L. palla, while the cinnamon band of 

 L. palla, embraced between the mesial band and the submarginal 

 lunules, is reduced to a narrow series of four or five dull red, round 

 spots, indistinctly margined with pale scales ; the outer reddish margin 

 of L. helcita is not more than half so broad as the deeper-colored bor- 

 der of L. palla. The species has not before been recorded from either 

 Utah or Arizona. 



Schoenis arachne (Edw.) Scudd. — Bear Vallej, July 4. These are the 

 first specimens of this species I recollect seeing. Although both 

 Edwards and Mead place it as a synonym of Edwards's earlier-published 

 Mell. miauta, there appear to me to be such differences between the 

 descriptions and figures of the two that it would be well to retain them 

 as distinct until direct comparison of a series of specimens from Texas 

 and Arizona can be made.
