Distribution (30: 3). This butterfly is found throughout the whole 

 extent of the AUeghanian fauna, westward to the great plains. It appar-

 (Edwards), the mountainous parts of North Carolina, and in probably the 

 higher parts of Georgia, for there is a memorandum of a single specimen 

 captured in Georgia by Abbot, and an individual from the same state is
