cous ; a large black discal spot on each wing : two or three obsolete spots near 
anal angle, the second from the angle with a faint yellow lunule ; fringe brown- 
ish white. 
Under side greyish white, bluish next base; primaries have a fuscous spot 
near base, a discal bar and a transverse sinuous row of elongated fuscous spots, 
each edged with whitish ; along the margin obsolete spots surmounted by faint 
lunules. 
Secondaries have three fuscous points near base ; a discal bar and a trans- 
verse sinuous row of fuscous spots ; whole hind margin bordered by small me- 
tallic blue spots, each surmounted by a blackish lunule. 
Female. Upper side clear brown ; the obsolete spots next anal angle sur- 
mounted by a narrow crenated yellow band ; under side as in male, but the 
five spots next anal angle are surmounted by ochrey yellow lunules edged 
above with black ; fringe long and fuscous at the extremities of the nervures.

LYCiENA SCUDDERII, Edw. 
Female. The more common form differs somewhat from that heretofore de- 
scribed, which appears to have been a variety, in that the base of both wings 
is violet blue, and the black marginal spots of secondaries distinct, the two or 
three next anal angle surmounted with fulvous ; under side as in the male. 
This species is found abundantly near London, Canada West, as I am in- 
formed by Mr. W. Saunders. I have also received it from Fort Simpson. 
Parnassius Smintheus, Doubleday : figured in Genera of Diurnal Lepidop- 
tera, but not described. 
Expands 2J- inches. Size and form of Clarius. 
Male. Both wings pure white, semi-transparent at apex of primaries ; hind 
margin of primaries sprinkled with black scales which take the form of in- 
distinct lunules ; a second similar series anterior to these ; a black bar on the 
arc, and, within the cell, a transverse, elongated black spot that terminates a 
little short of the median nervure ; on the costa beyond the cell, a crimson spot 
in a black ring, and below this a black spot with crimson centre ; a small 
black spot within the inner margin ; base of wing and edge of costa thickly 
sprinkled with black scales ; fringe white, cut with black at the ends of the 
nervures. 
Secondaries black at the base and along the abdominal margin, from which 
black scales extend to the cell and around the arc ; a submarginal row of ob- 
solete black spots ; a small crimson spot on costal margin and a larger and 
brighter one in the disc, both in black rings. 
Under side with all the markings of the upper, but less vivid in color ; sec- 
ondaries have an additional small crimson spot within the abdominal margin 
near the anal angle, and at the base four crimson spots in a curved band, 
each more or less edged with black : the spot in the disc with white 
centre. 
Female. A little larger than the male; the whole hind margin of primaries 
semi-transparent, enclosing a transverse row of white lunules, but without 
other spots ; the red spots larger and paler, the one on disc of secondaries with 
white centre ; on the under side of secondaries the costal spot also has a 
white centre, and near the anal angle are two red spots.

Limenitis eululia, Doubleday : figured in Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera, 
but not described. 
Expands 2f- inches. 
Male. Upper side of both wings olive brown, with a blackish tinge upon 
the outer limb ; hind margin bordered by abroad crenated band of lighter color, 
through which runs a black line ; a large golden yellow apical spot fills the 
space between the marginal band and narrow costal border of primaries ; across
