Genus Lycaena 
side of the male is not lilac-blue, but ultramarine. The female 
is almost indistinguishable on the upper side from the female of 
L. lycea. On the under side the wings are pale stone-gray, with 
a black spot at the end of the cell of the primaries and a large 
white spot at the end of the cell of the secondaries. The other 
spots, which are always ringed about with white, are located 
much as in L. icarioides (see Plate XXX, Fig. 29). Expanse, 1.15— 
1.20 inch. 
Early Stages.— Unknown. 
Fulla occurs in northern California, Oregon, Washington, and 
British Columbia. 
(6) Lycaena icarioides, Boisduval (mintha, Edwards), Plate 
XXX, Fig. 29, $ , under side (Boisduval’s Blue). 
Butterfly.— The insect on the upper side closely resembles the 
preceding species in both sexes. On the under side it may be 
at once distinguished from the following species by the absence 
on the margin of the hind wings of the fine black terminal line, 
and by having only one, not two rows of submarginal black 
spots. There are other marked and striking differences, and the 
merging of L. dcedalus , Behr, with this species, which has been 
advocated by some recent writers, is no doubt due to their lack 
of sufficient and accurately identified material. Expanse, 1.35 inch. 
Early Stages. — Unknown. 
This species, which is not common, is found in southern 
California. 
(7) Lycaena daedalus, Behr, Plate XXXI, Fig. 11,6; Fig. 12, 
? ; Plate XXX, Fig. 28, $, under side (Behr’s Blue). 
Butterfly.— The wings of the male on the upper side are deep 
lustrous blue, with darker borders and white fringes. The 
wings of the female are brown, margined with reddish. The 
name cechaja was applied to this sex by Dr. Behr, before it was 
known to be the female of his L. dcedalus. Expanse, 1.12 inch. 
Early Stages.— These have not yet been studied. 
Dcedalus is common in southern California. 
(8) Lycaena saepiolus, Boisduval, Plate XXXI, Fig. 15,6; 
Fig. 16, $ (The Greenish Blue). 
Butterfly.— The male on the upper side has the wings blue, 
shot in certain lights with brilliant green. The female on the 
same side is dusky, with greenish-blue scales at the bases of the 
wings, and often with reddish markings on the outer margin of 
260
