does not reach the lower margin. Female has only an indication of a 

 marginal border, and that is on the fore wings onl}'. Expands, l.UO. 

 Habitat, Oregon. 



70. COLIAS INTERIOR Scud. 

 Bordered Green Butterfly. 

 Male, smaller than C. philodice with the black bordering mainly 

 confined to the upper fore wings, thus not reaching lower border. There 

 are no indications of the sub-marginal spottings below, but the central 

 spots of hind wings are double, and the upper border of fore, and entire 

 surface of hind wings, sprinkled plentifully with greenish. The border- 

 ing on the female is confined to the f jre wings and is only slightly indi- 

 cated. Fig. 17, b. Expands l.GO to 1.70. Habitat, Cape Breton Island, 

 Lower St. Lawrence, Quebec, Nipegon River, and accidental at Water- 

 ville, Maine. 



77. COLIAS SCUDDERH Reak. 

 Scudder's Bordered Butterfly. 

 Male, about the same size as C. philodice but differs in having the 

 black border less extended toward the base on upper margin, and the 

 veinings cut the border to the fringe. The central spottings on fore 

 wings are only faintly indicated, Fig. 17, k, and there are none on the 

 hind wing. Beneath, the spots on fore wings are better indicated, while 

 those on the hind pair are rosy-ringed and silver-centered. There are 

 no sub-marginal spots. The outer margin of both wings are bordered 

 with greenish, as well as the basal two-thirds of the hind wings, and 

 in this respect, differs from alexandria. the male of which is very pale, 

 greenish yellow only on hind wings. Female, with the bandings barely 

 indicated on fore wings only, by two rows of faintly defined spots. As in 

 most species of the genus, female albinos occur, of a pale greenish white. 

 Expands l.SO to 2.00. Habitat, Colorado, Montana, British Columbia, 

 and British America. Occurs in July. 



78. COLIAS PELIDNE Bd. 

 Little Bordered Butterfly. 

 Male, closely resembles C. p. anthyale, especially those specimens 

 having a single centre spot on hind wings. Differs, however, in the 

 almost entire absence of the central spot of fore wings above, and in 

 the absence of the submarginal row of spots beneath, and the outer 

 border of wings is greenish. Female, white, or greenish white, above, 

 wholly without markings ; beneath, similar to male, l)ut lacks the green-
