NOTES ON SOME BUTTERFLIES FROM NEW ENGLAND. 
By Austin H. Clark, 
Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C. 
The following notes on butterflies taken in New England are 
worthy of record. 
Eurymus eurytheme form eriphyle (Edwards) 
In 1925 (Psyche, vol. 32, No. 6, December 1925, p. 297 )I 
recorded as an unusually pale male of Eurymus philodice a spe- 
cimen captured by Hugh U. Clark at Essex, Mass., on August 
30, 1925. 
On reexamining this specimen I detected an almost imper- 
ceptible flush of orange on the lower half of the fore wings. The 
costal border of the fore wings is brighter j^ellow than the rest 
of the wings, and the inner border has a conspicuous rounded 
angle near the body. 
There can be no doubt but that this is in reality an example 
of the form eriphyle of Eurymus eurytheme , the occurrence of 
which in Massachusetts I did not at the time suspect. The 
bright orange form of that species was noted at the same place 
on the same day, and a few daj^s previously five of these were 
seen at Ipswich, not far distant. 
Eurymus eurytheme form ariadne (Edwards) 
Mr. Scudder recorded (Butterflies of New England, vol. 2, 
1889, p. 1111, second aberration) a male of Eurymus philodice 
taken November 10 at Bangor, Maine, by Mr. Carl Braun in 
which all the wings, especially on the disc of the upper surface, 
were “shot with orange; the orange, though deep in color, is not 
of a solid character, but is more or less intermingled with yellow 
scales, giving a somewhat pink appearance.” 
This would appear to have been an example of Eurymus 
eurytheme form ariadne. About Washington this form is most
