diffuse sex mark in and below the cell of primaries and with the maculation of 

 underside of secondaries more or less visible above; in ? often tinged with 

 yellowish with an occasional blind ocellus in the interspace between veins 5 and 

 6; fringes white, checkered with brown. Beneath primaries in $ slightly paler 

 than above, marbled with whitish toward apex and often with a small white- 

 centered ocellus subterminally between veins 5 and 6 which in the 9 is followed 

 at times by similar ocelli in the interspaces between veins 2 and 3, and 3 and 4; 

 the 9 usually also shows a distinct yellowish tinge over the whole underside 

 of the wings ; secondaries heavily marbled with blackish intermingled slightly 

 with whitish streaks much as in semidca but considerably paler and yellower; 

 the black curved median band is generally almost lost in the heavy striations 

 but its outer edge is faintly defined by the paler subterminal shading; a small 

 anal ocellus is often present preceded by a curved row of small obsolescent 

 ochreous spots; terminal diffuse dark patches mingled with whitish; fringes 

 checkered. Expanse 41 mm. 



Habitat: Hall Valley, Colo. (July). 6 3,6 9. Types, Coll. Barnes. 



Daura Stkr. (not dauria as generally listed) is only known by the 

 single 9 type specimen from Arizona in the Field Museum, Chicago ; 

 it should probably be associated with chryxus but until a series is avail- 

 able its status is problematic. 



We figure the S genitalia of the various species involved in the 

 above notes as far as possible on Plate XXV.
