In 1936 the author collected a large number of Parnassius smintheus at an elevation of about 7,000 feet on the bleak ridges of the Olympic Mountains in the state of Washington. These insects are so different in appearance from other P. smintheus that a racial name seems appropriate.

The genus Cryptochilus is based on C. annulatus Fabr., a Mediterranean species; the pleura has numerous sharp carinae, the propodeum is striate, the antennae are fairly slender, the clypeus rather broadly concave below, the first recurrent vein ends near the tip of the second submarginal cell, the pronotum, seen from side, shows an even curve from behind down to the collar. Some other European species have the pleura less strongly striated. Several of our species agree fairly well in these characters; however there are others that show various differences.

From our insect faunal surveys of the maritime provinces of Canada, we have accumulated a long series of a species of Eubaphe which inhabits the cold sphagnum bogs, and being quite unlike any so far described, I propose for it the name:

Eubaphe lamae n. sp.

Male. Antennae black, light above. Palpi, head, thorax and fore wings dark brown with a slight orange tinge more noticeable along the costa; usually a well defined subcircular white spot just below the origin of Cu2; an obscure black spot at the upper end of the cell, beyond which is a faintly orange area.

The following paper deals with six apparently undescribed species of Hercostomus collected from localities in the western United States and Canada.

Hercostomus chaetilamellus n. sp.

Male. Length, 4 mm.; of wing, 3.8 mm. Face wide, silvery white. Front silvery white, concolorous with face. Antennae black, the third joint about as long as broad, evenly rounded below. Orbital cilia white, the uppermost bristle black. Palpi and proboscis yellow.

After Barnes and Benjamin transferred pulverulenta Smith to Pseudanarta Grote (Pan-Pacific Entomologist, III, 110-111, 1927), it was thought that the matter ended there, as the species had obviously been referred to the correct genus. However, in the course of working over the Cuculliinae, a number of slides of the genitalia of this “species” were made, and these exhibited constant differences, which made me believe that we were dealing with a group of species and not one.
