pp. 163 & 164 ; A . aglaia, ab. eridioides described by C. F. Pfliimer, S. E. Z. 
xl. p. 167; A. Ed w., $ described ; A. egleis, Boisd., amd A.idalia, 
Dru., transformations described, W. H. Edwards, Canad. Ent. xi. pp. 83, 
177-179, & 217-219; he also {l.c. pp. 61-66) makes the following correc- 
tions in the synonymy of various species of Argynnis -. — The reputed $ of 
A .nevadensis, Edw., is that of coronis^ Behr. ; Boisduval’s A. egleis, var. irene, 
is a good species, and should be followed by eurynome, Edw. ; montivaga, 
Behr. (= astarte, Edw., nee Douhl., = arge, Streck.) and egleis, Boisd. (= 
$ mormonia, Boisd., and montivaga, Edw., nec Behr.), A. zerene, Boisd., 
belongs to a different section ; A . hydaspe, Boisd. (= zerene, Behr., = 
purpurascens, H. Edw.), and monticola, Behr., are varieties. 
Melitcea baroni, H. Edwards, transformations described, and minuta, 
W. H. Edw., pupa described; W. H. Edwards, 1. c. pp. 129-131 & 141. 
Phyciodes nycteis, Doubl. & Hew., transformations, and vesta, W. H.

Grapta. W. H. Edwards (Butt. N. Amer. ii. Grapta, pi. iii.) figures 
and redescribes G. rusticus, Edw., figs, 1-4, larva and pupa, figs, a, b, & 
b 2, var. marsyas, figs. 6 & 6 ; and G. zephyrus, Edw., larva and pupa, 
figs, c & d-, 0. silvius, Edw., is perhaps a seasonal form of rusticus. He 
believes that many species (perhaps some identical with the various 
American species which have been proved to be distinct by breeding) are 
confounded by European Entomologists under the name c-album.
