Genus Lycaena 
the under side the disposition of the spots and markings is pre¬ 
cisely as in L. aquilo, but on the secondaries the dark spots and 
shades are all replaced by white on a pale-gray ground. Ex¬ 
panse, .90-1.00 inch. 
Early Stages.—We are in complete ignorance as to these. 
The butterfly is found in British America and on the Western 
Cordilleras. 
(20) Lycaena enoptes, Boisduval, Plate XXX, Fig. 30, $, 
under side; Fig. 51, $ (The Dotted Blue). 
Butterfly.— The wings on the upper side are purplish-blue,— 
pale in the male, darker in the female,—bordered with dusky, 
more heavily in the female than in the male. The fringes are 
white, checkered with dusky at the ends of the veins. The fe¬ 
male sometimes has the hind wings marked on the upper side 
with red marginal spots on the inner half of the border. On the 
under side the wings are pale bluish-gray, marked with a profu¬ 
sion of small black spots, those on the outer margin arranged in 
two parallel lines, between which, on the hind wings, are red 
spots. Expanse, 1.00 inch. 
Early Stages.— Awaiting description. 
Enoptes ranges from Washington to Arizona. 
(21) Lycaena glaucon, Edwards, Plate XXX, Fig. 31, $, 
under side; Fig. 39, $ (The Colorado Blue). 
Butterfly.— Purplish-blue, closely resembling the preceding 
species, but having the black margin of the wings broader than 
in L. enoptes , with the dark crescents of the marginal series on 
the under side showing through as darker spots in the margins 
of the hind wings. The female has a band of orange spots on 
the margins of the secondaries. The two marginal rows of 
spots on the lower side of the wings are arranged and colored as 
in the preceding species. Expanse, 1.00 inch. 
Early Stages.— Of these we must again confess ignorance. 
Glaucon ranges from Washington into California, and east¬ 
ward to Colorado, where it is quite common in the mountain 
valleys. 
(22) Lycaena battoides, Behr, Plate XXXII, Fig. 11, $ 
(Behr’s Blue). 
Butterfly.— On the upper side paler blue than the preceding 
species, with the hind margin tinged with reddish, shining through 
from below, and small crescentic dark spots. On the under side
