Satyrus alope, Fain 

 (Cercyonis alope.) 



HlPPARCHIA ALOPE. 



This species is reported from Fredericton, but appears to be rare in the 

 northern sections of the province. It is very common in the vicinity of St. 

 John. Frequenting the same localities and flying in company with S. nephele. 



Satyrus alope nephele, Scud. 



This butterfly, apparently a hybrid between alope and nephele, is some- 

 times taken at St. John. 



Family LYC^ENID.E. 

 Sub-family LYC^NIN^E. 

 Thecla augustus, Kirby. 



(IXCISALIA AUGUSTUS.) 



Not uncommon, but difficult to capture, owing to its small size, dark 

 color, and the shrubby localities which it frequents. Flies in May. 



Chrysophaiius epixantlie, Boisd Lee. 



(Epidemia epixanthe.) 



This little butterfly is not uncommon in two or three localities near St. 

 John, but it appears to be very local in its habits, frequenting the same places 

 (sometimes only a few yards in extent) year after year. Flies in Jul}' and 

 possibly into August. 



Chrysoplianus hypophla?as, Boisd. 



Chrysophanus amekicaxa, D'Urban.

Common at St. John, Fredericton, Sussex and Grand Lake, from June to 

 September. This species is no doubt abundant in every part of New 

 Brunswick.

 lacea, Edw., being very abundant in May and June, and the form xeglecta,
