210 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST, 



Under side of primaries shows the black markings repeated ; costal 

 edge white ; along hind margin a narrow dull orange belt, before which is 

 a series of white crescents ; secondaries have the marginal belt dull black, 

 next the white crescents, then a series of dull orange quadrangular spots on 

 black ground ; across the disk a white band cut by a black line a little 

 within its posterior edge ; beyond, orange heavily edged with black ; a 

 white spot in cell on median nervure ; a white band across the wing near 

 base ; at base orange, the shoulder white. 



Female. — Expands 1.4 inch. 



Less black than the male, the fulvous more red ; under side as in the 

 male. 



This species may be distinguished from Perse by the color and mark- 

 ings of outer half of secondaries beneath ; Perse has the margin buff or 

 orange-ochraceous, the second row of spots rounded or crescent. Taken 

 by Mr. Morrison in South Arizona and said to be common. 



Chrysophanus Florus. 



Male. — Expands 1.3 inch. 



Upper side brown with a purple reflection ; the hind margins broadly 

 bordered black, especially on secondaries, the border almost reaching the 

 discal row of spots ; this row is common to both wings, zigzag ; a bar on 

 the arc of each cell ; primaries have two spots in cell and one below ; 

 secondaries have a spot in cell, concealed by the long hairs which cover 

 the basal area ; at anal angle a small fulvous patch ; fringes cinereous. 



Under side of primaries yellow-brown, the apex light brown ; the 

 black spots repeated, enlarged, and in addition, an imperfect row corre- 

 sponding in position to the inner edge of the black border of upper side. 

 Secondaries light brown, the spots repeated in dots and minute marks ; a 

 submarginal series of red serrations from inner angle to middle of wing. 



Female. — Expands 1.35 inch. 



Upper side dark brown, a little mottled with obscure yellow on disk 

 of primaries at end of cell, and outside the black spots in median inter- 

 spaces only ; the fulvous anal patch as in male, and an indistinct fulvous 

 crescent in the next interspace. Under side as in male. 



This species in male resembles Helloides ^ , but the latter has much 

 fulvous on hind margin of secondaries, and to both margins a narrow 

 black border, whereas in Florus the borders are remarkably wide. The
