14. (10.) Chrysophanus Thoe Westw. 



15. (11.) Chi-ysophanus Epixanthe Westw. This species 

 was very abundant at llaniptun, N. H., July 22d. I captured over 

 thirty specimens in a single hour, in a dried up, boggy meadow, from 

 which the grass had just been cut; none Avere tbund by the roadsides. 

 I also took specimens July 8th, and they were found by Mr. j\Ierrill 

 on tbe cranberry, July 2d and 8th.

 (Yale College Mus.). 



17. (i;j.) Lycgena neglecta Edw. Taken on Cajje Cod in

18. (14.) Lyeaena Lucia Westw. 



19. (15.) Lyeaena Comyntas Westw. Mr. Merrill has taken 

 this species throughout May. 



20. Thecla Clothilde Edw. A single specimen of this most 

 beautiful addition lo the number of New England butterflies was 

 taken by Mr. Smith on Streaked Mountain, near Paris, Me., July 

 22d. The tbllowing description was taken from Mr. Edwards's spec- 

 imen several years ago. 



S . Wings above dark ashy-brown, with a few scattered bright 

 blue scales, giving it a cserulean tint at the base of jDrimaries, and on 

 the disk of secondaries. On the jjrimaries, above the median ner- 

 vure, an indistinct subapical dark patch, resulting from the iutei-sper- 

 sion of black scales; a very few deep orange scales at the extremity 

 of the submedian nervure on the inner angle of secondaries. 



Beneath uniform, lustrous, light ashy-brown.' Primaries with a 

 straight series of small, generally indistinct, deep orange spots, nar- 

 rowly bordered externally, with occasional dark scales, the series 

 commencing on the costal border, at three-fourths of the distance 

 from the base, and terminating at the lowest branch of the median 

 nervure. Secondaries with a submai'ginal and a mesial row of simi- 

 lar spots, the submarginal series very minute away irom the inner 

 angle, and usually without any accompanying dark scales; the mesial 

 situated a little beyond the middle of the wing, each parallel with 

 the outer border. Expanse of wings .8 inch. 



21. Theela aeadica Edw. Messis. Orote and Robinson state 

 that I sent them specimens of this species from Cape Cod; I may 

 have mistaken it at the time for T. Falacer, which it closely resem- 

 bles, but from which I believe it is distinct; a specimen in Dr. Har- 

 ris's collection comes from Nashua, N. II., and 'Mr. IMerrill has a 

 specimen from New England.
