NORTH AMERICAN BUTTERFLIES. 117 



285. SATYRUS NEPHELE Kirby. 

 Brown Wood Butterfly. 



Differs from the type in the mere indication of the reddish orange 

 patch on fore whigs. Sometimes this patch is more distinct than at 

 others, and thus specimens appear to approach alope, but I look upon 

 such examples as reversions towards some ancestreal type, Avhich was 

 possibly S. pegala. Expands l.HO to 2.00. Habitat, northern New 

 England, Ontario, Quebec, New York, and British America. Occurs 

 in July and August.

 general coloration and averaging larger. Habitat, Illinois to Rocky 

 Mountains and British America.

 nephele and darker, there being little or no light area on fore wing. Hab- 

 itat, California to Washington.

 ringed on fore wings. Six small (jnes on hind wings below, white-pupiled
