LYCiliNA 1. 



Secondaries have a small black spot within the cell, another on costal margin, 

 a narrow stripe in the dislv, and a sinuous row of spots within the mai-gin similar to 

 those of primaries, all edged with white. 



Body above fuscous covered with blue hairs ; abdomen beneath white ; jialpi 

 white at base, fuscous at extremity ; antennie black anuuiated with white ; club 

 black, white near ti]), which itself is black. 



Female. Same size. 



Upper side sometimes entirely blue except along the margins which are fus- 

 cous ; the blue deejier colored and less dense than in the male ; sometimes the greater 

 part of the surface is fuscous, the blue shade being confined to the base of the wings ; 

 under side paler, but marked as in the male. 



Found in Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia and through the Southern States to 

 Georgia. Douljleday gives its habitat in the pine forests, but in West Virginia, 

 I have usually found it in the garden or about houses. It appears there early 

 in April, a few days after violaeea, but is rare, not more than half a dozen being 

 seen in a season.
