parison been made between Avestern America and eastern Asia, it would

Table of the species af Phyciodes, based on the imago. 



Under surface of hind wings usually with a varied ground tint, large patches of dark color con- 

 trasting strongly with a lighter base; a large, more or less clouded, dark marginal patch in 

 the middle of the hind border invariably present and generally very distinct. Tip only of ,J 

 clasps bent downward tharos. 



Under surface of hind wings with a very uniform tint, all the markings delicate and subobso- 

 lete; the marginal patch of hind border, if present at all, obscure. Whole of apical half of 

 3 clasps bent downward batesii.
