Genus Euphyes 



Butterfly. — Allied to the preceding species. The discal stigma 

 of the male upon the fore wings is much longer than in L. pa- 

 latka. The outer margin of the secondaries is not as sharply 

 defined as in that species, but shades insensibly into the lighter 

 greenish-fulvous of the basal part of the wing. The female on 

 the upper side is distinguished from the female of the preceding 

 species by the restriction of the discal band of spots on the hind 

 wing to a few small light-colored spaces beyond the end of the 

 cell, and by the regular continuation of the band of yellow spots 

 across the primaries from the subapical spots to the submedian 

 nervule near the middle of the inner margin. On the under side 

 the primaries and the secondaries are very bright, clear orange- 

 red, with the base and inner margin of the primaries brightly 

 laved with blackish. The median series of spots in the male are 

 very faintly indicated on the fore wings, but are more strongly 

 indicated on those of the female. Expanse, 5, 1.45 inch; $, 

 1.65 inch. 



Early Stages. — We know little of these. 



The insect is found in Florida. 



(6) Limochores yehl, Skinner, Plate XLVI, Fig. 40, 5 (Skin- 

 ner's Skipper). 



Butterfly. — The upper side of the male is shown in the plate. 

 On the under side the wings are lighter, the secondaries uni- 

 formly pale cinnamon-brown, marked with a semicircle of four 

 yellowish round spots, with a small spot on the cell toward the 

 base. Expanse, i. 25-1. 35 inch. 



Early Stages. — Unknown. 



The species has been taken in Florida, and is as yet not com- 

 mon in collections. The figure is that of the type. 



Genus EUPHYES, Scudder 



Butterfly. — The antennae have the club stout, elongate, fur- 

 nished with a short crook at the end; the palpi are densely 

 scaled; the third joint is slender, bluntly conical, projecting be- 

 yond the vestiture of the second joint. The neuration is shown 

 in the cut.
