tween the second and third branches of the middle vein of fore wing. 

 Beneath, there are only two eye spots on hind wings instead of four, and 

 theseare large and prominent, Fig. 32, b. Expands, 1.95 to 3.71. Hab- 

 itat of this and the following species. North America generally. 



225. PYRAMEIS CARDUI Linn. 

 Thistle Butterfly. 

 Plate V, 5. 

 Size, medium. Dark brown above, with six white spots in apex of 

 fore wings, and with spottings and markings in orange as given in the 

 plate. Beneath, the fore wings are marked much as above, but the 

 orange becomes crimson lake, the brown is paler, the apex of the wings 

 is grayish, and the white spottings are enlarged. Hind wings brownish 

 with an intricate net-work of yellowish white and with four black cen- 

 tered eye spots, ringed inwardly, first with blue, then with black, then 

 with brown, followed with yellow and black. The spots are not large, 

 and the two middle are smaller than the two outer. These three species 

 of the genus occur all the year in the warmer sections, and at intervals 

 from May until August, in the latitude of Massachusetts and northward. 



226. PYRAMEIS CARYE Hub. 



Carye Butterfly. 

 Generally similar to P. cardui, but differs in having only four small 

 white spots in apex of f jre wings, the larger being replaced by one of 

 orange. The other orange markings of the wing are more broken into 

 spots, there being five of these, arranged as in Fig. 32 a, where the upper 

 side of fore wing is given. On the hind wing the black spots are blue 

 pupiled, the orange is clearer and more extended toward base of wing. 

 Beneath, on fore wing, the markings are repeated, but there are four 

 black spots in central cell, the upper of which is a bar and largest. On 

 hind wings the four eye spots are uniform in size, crowded together, and 

 single ringed with browiish, not double ringed. Expands 2.00 to 2.50. 

 Habitat, California, southward to Chili, Arizona and Nevada.
