NYMPHALIDAE 



Basilarchia weidemeyrii race nevad.^ nov. 



Not conspicuously different from some narrow banded specimens of zveide- 

 vtcyrii on the upper side, but quite uniformly narrow banded, practically as in 

 the normal form, augustifascia, of the Aroniza race sinefascia^. The under side 

 is conspicuously different from the described races, the normal red and orange- 

 red markings being replaced by dull brown, those of the primaries being obso- 

 lescent and almost lost in the blackish ground. 



Expanse: $, S7-66 mm.; 9, 65-70 mm. 



Type localities and number and sexes of types: Holotype $, Clark Co., 

 Nev., 24-30 June; 28 $ Paratypes, id., 24-30 June (22), no date (6) ; 22 $ Para- 

 lypes, Charlestown Mts., Southern Nevada, 24-30 June (9), no date (13) ; 7 9

RHIODINIDAE 



Apodemia phyciodoides sp. nov. 



Head, thorax and abdomen black, clothed with sparse fulvous hair. Pri- 

 maries : ground color bright orange-yellow ; suffused with black along costa, 

 and basally; veins black; a double black "t. a." line; a black mark correspond- 

 ing to a reniform in the cell; a single, heavy, black "t. p." line composed of 

 spots betAveen the veins, irregular, and connected by the black on the veins ; 

 a similar black "s. t." line nearly parallel to the outer margin followed by an 

 outer row of black spots connected in the male ; unconnected, between the veins, 

 in the female ; a black terminal line, more or less broadened into triangular 

 spots at the termen of the veins; two white spots in the costo-radial part of 

 the s. t. space ; fringe black, more or less checkered with white. Hind wings 

 similar to the primaries in color and maculation, the black banding continuous 

 but without white spots, except in the fringes. Beneath : primaries ; similar to 

 upper side but with the black markings narrower and clean cut, the veins, costa, 

 and basal area, not conspicuously blackened ; additional white spots along outer 

 margin betv/een veins 1-2 and 3-4; secondaries; not yellow but banded with 

 brown and white, the brown bands outlined by black ; the basal area pale brown 

 followed by a narrow white band, which is again followed by a brown band 

 and a white band, then a median wide brown band followed by a subterminal 

 wide white band and a terminal wide brown band, the last interrupted between 

 veins 3-4 by a whitish patch. 



iln order to comply with the International Rules, apparently the Arizona race of 

 B. iveidemeyrii will have to be listed as B. weidemeyrii sinefascia; but sine fascia is an aber- 

 ration of the form subsequently named angustifascia by Barnes and McDunnough, so that 

 tlie normal form of the Arizona race becomes, B. weidemeyrii sinefascia form normal 

 angustifascia.
