BUTTERFLIES OF MAINE. 93 
magnificent and very reliable work of Mr. W. H. Edwards 
of West Virginia; but in this latitude there may be some 
variation from the account given above. 
This species has not been taken in this region, but I have 
a specimen taken at Auburn, and Mr. Lyman reports it from 
Portland, so it will doubtless be taken elsewhere in the 
western part of the State. 
Family—HESPERIDZE. 
52. CARTEROCEPHALUS MANDAN, Edw. 
Car-ter-o-ceph’-a-lus man’-dan. 
Expanse of wings, one inch and an eighth. 
Upper side of the wings dark brown, overlaid with a few 
yellowish scales, and marked with dull orange colored spots 
as follows: one row extends along the outer margin, often 
nearly obliterated, another across the wing between the outer 
border and the end of the cell, two of which are out of line 
and nearer the outer border. The cell is more or less filled 
with the orange yellow, and there is a small spot of the 
same color resting on the lower side of the cell near the 
middle. 
The hind wings have a row of small orange yellow spots 
along the outer margin, a row of larger ones within this, 
and one near the base of the wing. 
Under side of the fore wings much paler than above, 
the light marks much larger and running together. Under 
side of the hind wings are of the same yellowish as the fore 
wings, and the spots of the upper side are re-produced, but 
larger and of a white color, and ringed with brownish. The 
veins are also brownish. 
The food plant of this rare species is unknown. It is on 
the wing through the middle of June.
