trenus Ccenonympha 
Early Stages.— These have been most carefully and beauti¬ 
fully worked out by Edwards, and the reader, for a full know¬ 
ledge of them, may consult the splendid plate in “The Butterflies 
of North America,” vol. iii. 
The species ranges from Vancouver’s Island southward on 
the Pacific coast and eastward into Nevada. 
(2) Ccenonympha elko, Edwards, Plate XXV, Fig. 25, ?, 
under side; Fig. 26, <3 (The Elko Ringlet). 
Butterfly.— Yellow on both sides of the wings, the lower 
side paler than the upper, and the basal area lightly clouded with 
fuscous. 
Early Stages. — Undescribed. 
This species is found in Nevada and Washington. 
(3) Ccenonympha inornata, Edwards, Plate XXV, Fig. 13, 
<5 > under side; Fig. 29, $ (The Plain Ringlet). 
Butterfly.— The wings on the upper side are ochreous- 
brown, lighter on the disk. The costal margin of the fore wings 
and the outer margin of both fore and hind wings are gray. 
The ocellus at the apex of the fore wings on the under side is 
faintly visible on the upper side. On the under side the fore 
wings are colored as on the upper side as far as the termination 
of the discal area, which is marked by a narrow transverse band 
of pale yellow, followed by a conspicuous ocellus. The hind 
wings are gray, darkest toward the base, behind the irregular 
whitish transverse band which crosses the outer portion of the 
disk. 
Early Stages.— Unknown. 
The species occurs in Montana, Minnesota, British America, 
and Newfoundland. Newfoundland specimens, of which I 
possess a large series, are distinctly darker in color than those 
taken in the Northwest. Some recent writers are inclined to 
regard this as a variety of the European C. typhon. I am per¬ 
suaded that they are mistaken. 
(4) Ccenonympha ochracea, Edwards, Plate XXV, Fig. 11, 
$ ; Fig. 12, $ , under side (The Ochre Ringlet). 
Butterfly.— Glossy ochreous, yellow above, with no markings 
but those which show through from below. On the under side 
the wings are marked precisely as in the preceding species, ex¬ 
cept that there are two or three small rays on the secondaries 
near the base, one on the cell and one on either side of it, of the
