PYRAMEIS CARDUI, Linn. 

 Occurs here and there in Colorado and Utah in about the same num- 

 bers as Himtcra. 



tPYEAMEIS CARl r E, Hiibner. 



Was brought in by the expedition of 1871, probably from Arizona. It 

 is abundant in California ; specimens may often be seen even in the streets 

 of San Francisco. 



PYRAMEIS ATALANTA, Linn. 



Was met with, now and then, wherever nettles were abundant 



LIMENITIS, Fabr.

 Plate XXXVIII, Figs. 1, l'. 

 Limenitis Weidemcyerii, Edw., Butterflies X. A., i. 



A specimen was taken June 6, but no more were seen until the 24th, 

 in Colorado. By the last of July, the species has entirely disappeared. It 

 frequents the banks of small creeks and neighboring- road sides in the mount- 

 ains, but at not more than 7,500 or 8,000 feet above the sea level. The 

 expedition took specimens in Southern Utah and Arizona ; those from the 

 latter locality unusually large and handsome.

 tAPATCRA LEILIA, Edw. 

 Apatura Leilia, Edw., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. Phila., Oct., 1S74. 



In markings allied to Celtis, but with the shape of Clyton, the primaries 

 being more produced and hind margin more excavated than in Celtis ; the 

 hind margin of secondaries more sinuous, and the inner angle more pro- 

 duced. 



Male. — Expands 1.8 inches. Upper side of primaries next base, and 

 partly in the median interspaces, and of secondaries throughout, light red- 

 brown ; the remainder of primaries, which comprises the apical area to 

 median and to cell, and the discal portion of the median interspaces, fuscous ; 

 hind margins bordered narrowly by fuscous ; both wings have a submar- 

 ginal black stripe, and a little anterior to this, a second, which on seconda-
