102 NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



242. LIMENITIS IIULSTII Edw. 



IIulst's Butterfly. 

 Similar to L. disippus above, but differs in having the apex of fore 

 wings very pale above, in the absence of the triangular black band, and 

 in the presence of four triangular white spots, all of uniform size, not 

 irregular, in having a spotted band on hind wings with Avhite edges, and 

 in the absenceof black margin to both wings. Expands 2.75. Habi- 

 tat, Utah. 



243. LIMENITIS LORQUINI Bd. 



Lorquin's Butterfly. 



Dark velvety brown above, with apex of fore wings tipped with a 

 greater or less amount of reddish orange. Both wings are crossed by a 

 white band as seen in L. arthemis, but it is more divided into spots than 

 in that species. There are three white spots at apex of fore wing and 

 one in central cell, Fig. 3-j a. There are usually some traces of reddish 

 spottings on hind wing outside the white band. Beneath, the white 

 markings are repeated, but larger, and there is a sub-marginal band of 

 spots, one at base of fore wing, some at base of hind wing white, and the 

 upper and lower margins of hind wing are white. The red of apex on fore 

 wing is more extended, and most of the ground color of the hind wing is 

 is red. The veinings are black, and there is a black band crossing out- 

 er third of hind wing, enclosing red spots. Expands 2. 25 to 2. 50. Hab- 

 itat, California, Arizona, Nevada. Occurs in June, July, and August. 

 243a. LiMENiTis lorquini burrisonii Novo. Differs from the 

 typical lorquini, in the entire absence of any red in apex of fore wing 

 above, and in the presence of a series of red spots outside the white band 

 on hind wing, and there are indications of a sub-marginal series of spots. 

 Beneath, the white sub-marginal band of light spots is slightly indicated 

 only, and Avhen present is bluish not white, there are no white spots at 

 the base of either wing. 



I have descriljcd above, a form of Limenitis obtained by Mr. II. K. 

 Burrison, in British Columbia, during July 18!)0, from Landsdowne, 

 westward to Vancouvers Island. There is considerable variation from 

 the type towards typical lor(piini, but among the large series in the pos- 

 session of Mr. Burrison, I have yet to see a single specimen that cannot 

 readily be distinguished from the southern examples of lonpiini, al- 

 though it is quite probable that in intermediate localities intergradcs 

 %vill be found.
