224 PROCEEDINGS OP THE ACADEMY OF 



oval spot on disc of primaries ; costa of primaries and base of both wings black- 

 ish brown ; whole hind margin edged with same color ; fringe white. 



Under side uniform apple green, except on inner margin of primaries, where 

 it is pale, brownish grey ; both wings immaculate ; costal edge of primaries 

 grey; hind margin of secondaries without crenations. 



Utah, from Mr. C. Drexler. 



Both viridis and affinia are allied to T. Rubi and to T. Dumetorum of Boisdu- 

 val. The latter I have not seen, but it is briefly described as being " entirely like 

 Rubi, and to be considered a local variety of that species," a description which 

 does not apply to either of the above named species. Affmis approaches most 

 nearly to Rubi in color below, but the upper side is much brighter, and the 

 white spots of under side are wanting. Viridis has similar spots to Rubi, but 

 the color of both sides is different, as is that of the antennae, edge of costa and 

 fringe. 



Lycjena Behrii, nov. sp. 



Expands 1-2 inch. 



Male. Upper side glossy lilac blue, silvery on costa of primaries ; hind mar- 

 gin of both wings fuscous ; fringe long and white. 



Under side uniform dark brownish grey sprinkled with blue scales near base 

 of both wings ; edge of hind margin dark brown, along which within runs a 

 tine white line ; primaries have a black discal bar edged with white, and mid- 

 way towards the margin, a transverse, sinuous row of six black spots, the 

 fourth and fifth from costa reniform, the others smaller and round, all of them 

 broadly encircled with white. Secondaries have a small white spot on costa, 

 a discal bar and a transverse double curved row of eight small round black 

 spots, each encircled with white ; the three spots next abdominal margin mi- 

 nute ; antennae black with fine white rings ; club black. 



Female. Like the male, except that the color above is fuscous, bluish near 

 base. 



California, from Dr. H. Behr. 



This species is allied to Lygdamas, Doubleday. 



LvcyENA Pembina, nov. sp. 



Expands 1-2 inch. 



Male. Upper side violet blue ; hind margin of primaries, and entire margin 

 of secondaries fuscous ; a discal spot on primaries from the transparency of 

 the wing ; fringe white without, next the margin blackish. 



Under side pale brownish grey ; base of both wings and abdominal margin 

 of secondaries sprinkled with black scales ; primaries have a large reniform 

 black discal spot- and a transverse row of six black spots bent near costa into a 

 curve which embraces and terminates at the discal spot, the first spot being as 

 near the discal as to the second; the first and sixth are smallest and round, 

 the sixth is also sometimes duplex ; the second and third nearly round, fourth 

 and fifth oval and largest ; half-way between this row and the margin is 

 another row of obsolete dark points. Secondaries have two small round black 

 spots on costa, each in a white ring, a black point in the disc near base, a white 

 discal spot and a transverse row, nearly parallel to the margin, of faint white 

 spots, one or two of which have a dark centre ; between this row and the mar- 

 gin an obsolete series of dark points as on primaries ; this row terminates at 

 the anal angle in a large dusky spot. 



Female. Brown, slightly bluish at base of both wings ; the discal spot on 

 primaries conspicuous.

This species is allied to Pheres, Boisduval. 



Lyc^sna Shasta, nov. sp.
