The arrangement of the forms is accordingly as follows: 



P. baftoides Behr is an alpine form from altitudes of 7 to 11 000 ft. and characterized by intense 

 quadrangular black spots beneath on a very light whitish ground which is very much strewn with black, 

 with a broad black marginal line on both wings and a broad, red submarginal band of the hindwing; the 

 fringes of both wings distinctly speckled. Above the ^ is very variable in the development of the orange-red 

 spots on the hindwings, some specimens are without, others with a distinct band as beneath. A much smal- 

 ler race: f. bemardino B. & McD. of about 20 mm expanse flies on low mountains in California (S. Ber- Bernardino. 

 nardino Mts. and S. Diego) with a decidedly lighter ground-colour and less interne black markings beneath, 

 particularly on the hindwings which are hardly strewn with black. — ^ Another race: f. oregonensis B. <fe McD. oregonen-sis. 

 originates from Oregon and is characterized by a much broader black border on both wings above in the 

 (3, which may occasionally cover the whole half of the hindwing; beneath the space between the postmedian 

 row of spots and the orange marginal band is in both sexes larger than in other forms, the spots are less 

 quadrangular, the ground shows a slight greenish tint. — A third form, the under surface of which forms 

 the transition to enoptes, is f. intermedia B. <£■ McD. occurring in the valleys of the North and Central intermedia. 

 Californian mountains. The spots of the hindwing beneath are much smaller, the orange submarginal band 

 divided into small lunae, the dark marginal line as fine as a hair. Above in the (^^ the black border is 

 moderately broad, the fringes of the hindwings are white, not speckled, at the anal angle of the hindwing 

 slight orange spotting. The $$ have a much broader orange band than the very similar ones of e?io23fes. In the 

 Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Utah there flies a similar race: f. centralis B. & McD. with a broader centralis. 

 dark border of the wings above and intense orange spotting at the anal angle of the hindwing in the ^,^; 

 beneath the ground is browner, the spots are larger, distinctly ringed white, the orange band more coherent, 

 at the anal angle of the forewing dark shading. According to the very latest investigations and after having 

 discovered the type of glaucon Edw. the latter has now proved also to belong to battoides and not, as was 

 originally supposed, to enoptes; the genitals entirely agree with battoides; in the exterior the tjrpe is very 

 much like centralis and intermedia by the intense black basal band of the fringes beneath. 



The enoptes-iovra having hitherto been regarded as glaucon had therefore to be renamed : ancilla B. ancilla. 

 & McD. which thus entirely resembles glaucon Edw. above; beneath the scaling is somewhat rougher, and 

 the black marginal line of the hindwing is stronger; the ^(^ exhibit above at the anal angle of the hind- 

 wing but traces of orange scaling. From enoptes the form differs by the coherent orange band on the hind- 

 mng beneath which in enoptes is invariably divided into spots; besides the black spots are more prominent. 

 Utah and Colorado. Insert after it: 



Ph. spaldingi B. & McD. very much resembles ancilla above, but the anal angle of the S hmdwing spaldingi. 

 is very intensely spotted orange, the under surface is lighter, the black spots of the hindwing much smaller, 

 whereas on the contrary those of the forewing remain large and intense; the forewing shows a broad orange 

 submarginal band not reaching to the costal margin and growing narrower towards it; on the hindwing this 

 band is divided into small moon-spots by the veins and proximally very faintly, towards the costal margin 

 at most, defined by blackish. The $ is dark brown, the orange marginal band of the hindwing is continued 

 on half the forewing. The genital organs are very different from those of enoptes. Apparently rare and 

 confined to but few mountainous districts of Utah. 



Ph. rita B. & McD. is likewise closely allied to enoptes, but distinguished by its whiter ground-co- rita. 

 lour beneath with a broader orange band; the black spots are much stronger and the blue of the upper 

 surface of a more violet tint. The genital organ is very different, but still most similar to glaucon from 

 which it differs by a much longer terminal spine on the valves. Expanse of wings: 23 mm. South Arizona. 



L. minnehaha Scddr. (p. 817) is not to be placed as a synonym of shasta Edw. (p. 817); it represents minneJiaJm. 

 a good form different by much narrower black borders without orange, but with a white marginal line and 

 distinct black marginal spots on the hindwing above. At greater altitudes in Colorado. 



To scudderi Edw. (p. 817) add aster Edw. (p. 144 g, h) as' the race from New Foundland. Two more 

 forms of this species are: annetta Mead. (144 g) line 14 from below and hodiak p. 815 (144 c). 



The arrangement of forms of acmon Dbld. ds Hew. is to be altered as follows: acmoji remains with the 

 synonym antaegon Bsd. As the only form we add to it: f. cottlei Grinn. about which, however, we were at 

 present not able to ascertain anything. ■ — ■ monticola Clem., chlorina Skinn., emigdionis Ch-inn. (= melimona 

 Wright), neurona Skinn. are all said to represent good species. We have to add hereto as another species: 

 lupini Bsd. about which we can at present not say anything and which is therefore to be eliminated as a 

 synonym of shasta Edw. 



Genus I^ycaeiiopsis Fldr. 



This name is to replace Cyaniris on p. 818. The species is not called ladon, but pseudargiolu^ Bsd., 

 with violacea as synonym.
