1(54 THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE 



scales. Just within the outer border is a series of spots 

 whieh are white rather than silver, the anal and the two 

 next the costa rather distinct, the rest not very promi- 

 nent. At the end of the cell is a curved black line, and 

 below this are two more, each bordered on the outside with 

 white or whitish. Above the cell is a straight black line, 

 outside of which is a white patch. Near the base are 

 three white spots with some black scales, and a black 

 spot with a few white scales near the end of the cell. 

 The males and females do not differ. 



Found on the lower half of the barren summits of 

 the White Mountains, New Hampshire, during July and 

 August. 



45. AEGYNNIS BELLONA, Fab. 



Expanse of wings about 1.6 inches. 



Upper side fulvous, the marks on the wing inside 

 the terminal border similar to those of A. Myrina, but 

 the dusky brown covers fully the basal fourth of the 

 wings. In the male the edges of the wings are scarcely 

 black, but in the female they are distinctly so. Inside 

 the terminal edging is a row of oval spots instead of 

 crescents, with some suffusion between this and the edge. 



The under side of the fore wings is fulvous, with the 

 apical portion rusty brown, the apex yellow, the brown 

 tinged with purple. Hind wings rusty brown tinged with 

 yellow in the middle and outer two fifths, and a costal 

 patch washed with whitish purple, this portion containing 

 two rows of dark spots. There are no silver spots. The 

 yellow on the middle of the under side of the hind wings 

 is in scattered scales, not gathered together enough to 

 form a band or spots.
