Extract

The occurrence of this species in considerable numbers in this vicinity has afforded an opportunity for comparison with A. aphrodite, the results of which are appended.

It should be stated that although the number referred to is small, yet the unrecorded comparison of over two hundred examples of both species during the past summer has agreed fully with this. In the line before me are five females each of alcestis and aphrodite. In every case the general color of the upper surface is duller in aphrodite, the basal shading heavier and more extensive, and the black markings on primaries heavier; in two examples the color approaches that of A. cybele, while the examples of alcestis exhibit a uniform clear color with hardly any variation.
