Spring and summer forms of var. pseudargiolus. — Accepting 

 pseudargiolus as the general name for the Nearctic race of this species, 

 we find various authors (Edwards, Scudder, etc.), describing in detail 

 the different aberrational and. racial developments set up in the spring 

 and summer broods. We propose dealing with these in our usual 

 manner, quoting the original descriptions of the various forms and 

 leaving students to compare them with the later descriptions and 

 applications of the names by the same and other authors, and in order 

 to enable them to draw comparisons with the parallel Pahearctic 

 developments. The following are the described forms : —
