LEPIDOPTERA. By Harrison G. Dyae, Custodian of Lepidoptera, United States National Museum. A large part of the species of Lepidoptera could not be found in the collection of the United States National Museum at Washington, and I accordingly enlisted the aid of Mr. William Schaus, who very kindly compared the specimens in London. He submitted certain specimens to various specialists, to all of whom my thanks are cor dially extended. The collection contains 242 species, here listed. Family PAPILIONIL\E. PAPILIO P^EON Boisduval. Cotahuasi, 9,000 feet, October 11, 1911. Machupichu, 1912. PAPILIO MAD YES MONTEBANUS, new subspecies. Suhmarginal spots of hind wing above slender, incised, nearly divided, white in the male, yellow in the female, white edge of the wings very broad in the incisures between the veins. Otherwise as in P. m. chlorodamas Guenee. Cotypes. — Male and female, Cat. No. 15599, U.S.N.M., San Miguel, 6,000 feet, September 1, 1911. Family PIERID^E. ACMEPTERON NEMESIS Latreille.

Tincochaca, 7,000 feet, August 9, 1911. Mr. Schaus notes that the specimens are "very near manco." From the manco in the collection they differ in the whiter ground color and reduced submarginal dark band of hind wings, but the differ ences are not marked. Proceedings U. S.

Mr. Rosenberg kindly compared the specimen with a cotype and notes "agrees in markings with that species, but is very much paler. Probably a local race of that species." CATASTICTA PRIONERIA Hopffer. Pampaconas River, August, 1911. CATASTICTA STRAMINEA Butler. Pampaconas River, August, 1911. CATASTICTA CORCYRA Felder. Pampaconas River, August, 1911. Determined by Mr. Schaus.
