are alike in this character. Ocelli as in the males, with 

 about the same amount of variation. 



The food-plant is probably one of the wild grasses. 



Cass County, Michigan. 



49 J. Phyciodes Hanhami, Fletcher. (Page 174.) 



Expanse of wings, males 1.48 to 1.52 inches ; females 

 1.60 to 1.74 inches. Sexes similar in both color and 

 markings. 



Upper surface, bright orange fulvous, darkened 

 towards base and bordered with a clear black margin, 

 which is widest at the apex of fore wings. The base 

 and cell marked as in P. Nydeis ; the basal area, how- 

 ever, is never so black as in Nycteis, and in some speci- 

 mens the ground color is hardly darkened at all. All 

 the veins of both wings are lined with dark brown. 



The white marks of the under surface of both wings 

 are repeated above as light, yellowish, contrasting spots, 

 giving the species a much brighter appearance than 

 Nydeis, in which this feature does not occur even in the 

 forms of that variable species where the fulvous color 

 predominates on the upper surface. A striking character 

 in which Hanhami differs from both P. Nydeis and 

 Ifelitcea Harrisii, a species which it also resembles, is 

 the absence on the hind wings, above, of the median 

 black line which in those species divides the fulvous 

 discal area on almost all specimens. There is a more 

 or less complete series of submarginal ocelli in the inter- 

 spaces between the submarginal and median veins, but 

 these are smaller and less distinct than in the two species 

 named and in some specimens are obsolete. Fringes 

 white, cut with black at the tips of the veins.
