Greenland and Iceland, also Labrador. Iceland is certainly an 

 error, for as yet no Diurna have been observed there. 



In the Icones the old description is reprinted with new figures. 

 The description is changed in so far as it says : C. Pelidne has 

 " quelques rapports " with C. Palaeno. The small spot near the 

 discal one is sometimes wanting ; the primaries of the female are 

 a little blackish on tip, with a sinuous interior band, often very 

 feeble, of the same color. Among the localities Greenland is 

 dropped, but Siberia and Kamtchatka added. The figure cannot 

 have been made from the same specimen as before, as the cut of 

 the wing is different, here very convex on the margin, and the 

 coloration of the underside of the secondaries is intensely green, 

 similar to Palaeno. The female resembles C. interior, but does 

 not belong perhaps to the figured male. It is possible that some 

 difficulty in recognizing Boisduval's species is due to the colorist, 

 as different copies show a different coloration. Werneburg, Stett. 

 Ent. Z. 1865, p. 287, says : The underside in C. Pelidne Boisd. 

 Icon. pi. 8, f. 2 of the male is yellowish as in Palaeno, though the 

 typical C. Pelidne has decidedly a more greenish-yellow underside. 

 Now in my copy the same fig. 2 is dark grass-green colored. 



After all I believe Mr. Scudder is right in accepting C. interior as 

 different from Boisduval's figures, and I think the name C. interior 

 should be retained, unless the types now in Mr. Oberthur's collec- 

 tion should prove the identity with C. Pelidne Bd. The name 

 of C. Pelidne I adopt till this is proved for Staudinger's species. 

 The description in the Brooklyn Bulletin differs, perhaps partly 

 by typographical errors. As habitat is given Ontario, Quebec, 

 British America and Alaska. Mr. W. H. Dall, Alaska p. 587, 

 quotes C. interior from Ft. Yukon, June 25. Cf. Scudder, Ent. 

 Notes, ii. 44. Mr. H. Edwards after comparison of a type of C. 

 interior states that in his collection are two specimens from Soda 

 Springs, Cala., and from Labache, Br. Col. Apparently Mr. H. 

 Edwards is right when he states C. Emilia may be a form of C. 

 interior, which it resembles, except the angular production of the 

 secondaries. There is no possibility of separating C. Edwardsii 

 from C. interior.
