Dr. Skmner adds: "This species is readily distinguished by its rich 

 dark color, being the darkest of all the species except haydeni Like- 

 all the other species it has ocelli. Mr. Edwards' specimens were evi- 

 dently devoid of ocelli, as he says 'No spots above or below ' " 



Distribution— The species occurs in Montana. Minnesota, British Am- 

 erica and Newfoundland. Examinations show the collections to have 

 one from Mount Lo Lo by Elrod and one from Miles City by Wiley Col 

 lected by Coues in the mountains along the northern border in 1874.
