92 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



extra discal area are suffused with gray more decidedly than in the male. 

 I have seen no Nephele of such a complexion, but the general resemblance 

 of the three examples is closer to Nephele than to Ariane. Whether Mr. 

 Morrison found this form common or not I am not informed, but it seems 

 to have been the only large Satyrus taken by him in that region. I call 

 this variety incana. 



Gaebii. — The female of this species is of a light yellow-brown on 

 upper side, with a broad, clouded, yellowish band on fore wings, and an 

 obscure yellow shade over the outer half of secondaries. On the hind 

 wing are three and four ocelli in every example which I have seen, the 

 one in lower median interspace largest, and pupilled, and all in hazy yel- 

 low rings. On the under side the color is yellow-gray next base, beyond 

 to margin whitish, and the whole surface, from base to hind margin, is 

 streaked uniformly with brown. There is a cloudy stripe across middle 

 of wing, and either none at all or an obsolescent one towards base. The 

 male is darker and without yellow, with two or three ocelli on hind wings, 

 these, as well as the ocelli on fore wings, in yellowish rings. All examples 

 seen, of either sex, have six ocelli on hind wing beneath, generally com- 

 plete and conspicuous. Gabbii flies from Utah to Oregon. On the under 

 side it greatly resembles the Texan Alope, but on the upper, by reason of 

 the clouded yellow, is unlike any other species. 



Wheeleri. — The female of this species also has three ocelli on upper 

 side of hind wing. The upper ocellus on fore wings in both sexes appears 

 to be always duplex, with two pupils, and on under side of hind wing there 

 are always six ocelli. Of these the middle one of each group of three is 

 long and narrow — lenticular, and not rounded or oval, as in all the other 

 species. Across the disk is a wavy brown stripe, and nearer base a straight 

 one. As this species is figured in Butterflies of N. A., vol. 2, and also in 

 Mead's Report on the Butterflies of Colorado, I do not here describe it 

 farther. Its habitat is south-eastern California and Arizona. 



Sthenele. — Dr. Boisduval described this species in 1852 as follows : 

 Upper side brown, with the fringes ashy-gray, cut with black ; the fore 

 wings with two ocelli with white pupils ; the hind wing without spots. 

 Under side ashy-gray, deepest colored at base ; the fore wings with two 

 large ocelli circled with yellow-fulvous ; hind wing crossed by a broad 

 angular band and marked towards anal angle by two little ocelli. The
