Reakirt (Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil, vi.) refers to the following species of this 
group, from the Colorado Territory, chiefly with regard to their variations: — 
Euptoieta claudia (Cram.), p. 136 ; Aryynnis aglaia (Linn.), ibid. ; A. hesperis 
(Edw.), p. 139 ; Mclitccapalla (Boisd.), ibid. ; Ercsia nycteis (Doubl.), p. 141 ; 
E. pallida (Edw.), p. 142 ; and Grapta comma (Harr.), p. 143. Many other 
species are cited by Reakirt, but with no notes of importance upon them. 
Argynnis. Lucas remarks (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4® s4r. tome vi. pp. 219-220) 
upon the species of this genus collected in the neighbourhood of Pekin by 
Father David. These are 6 in number : 3 are European, A. adippe, daphne, 
and laodice ; a fourth is A. sagdna (Doubled.), and the fifth a new species. 
The Chinese specimens of A. adippe and daphne are larger, and differ in some 
other respects from European examples ; A. laodice shows no change. Ja- 
panese specimens of A, adippe are^also of large size. 
Catagramma, Butler (Proc. Zool. Soc. 1866, pp. 678-680) refers to several 
species of this genus which have been erroneously identified ; the specific 
name clymena has been applied to 3 species, C. clymena (Cram.), janeira 
(Feld.) and eluina (Hew.) ; and C. codomanus (Fab.) is distinct from C. 
astarte (Cram.). 
Char axes. Notes on species supplementary to his monograph (1865) by 
Butler, P. Z. S. 1866, p. 467. 
Epicalia. Bates (Ent. M. Mag. ii. pp. 174-177) describes the general 
habits of the Amazonian species of this genus, and indicates the groups into 
which they may be divided in accordance with characters derived from the 
distribution of their colours. He refers especially to E, ancea (Linn.) and E. 
batesii (Feld.), describing and figuring the 2 of the latter (/. c. p. 176) taken 
in copulation by Piflfard in Demerara, and indicates that it seems to establish 
Felder’s species.
