DESCRIPTION OF SPECIES OF BUTTERFLIES TAKEN 

 IN ARIZONA BY JACOB DOLL, 1881. 



By W. H. Edwards. 



Terias Gundlachia. Poey, Hist. Nat. de la Isla de Cuba, 

 p. 246, plate 24, figs, I and 3. 



Several examples of this fine species were taken in southern 

 Arizona, in October. It is at once distinguishable from other 

 orange species by the triangular prolongation of hind wing oppo- 

 site cell. The male is deep orange, the female paler; the former 

 has a broad, black costal border to primaries, and this extends 

 down hind margin nearly to inner angle, gradually narrowing. 

 The female has a narrow border next base, but broad at apex. 

 Under side of primaries pale orange ; of secondaries rather whitish, 

 with fine streaks and dusting of ferruginous ; beyond the disk a 

 zigzag brown stripe from costal to inner margm, macular beyond 

 cell. In the female wholly macular. 



I formerly received a male of this species from the late Mr. 

 Boll, taken in Texas. 



Terias Mexicana. Boisd. Morris, p. 36. 



This species appears to be common in southern Arizona, and 

 there is much variation in the extent of the black border on 

 secondaries. 



Mexicana has occasionally been taken in the Mississippi val- 

 ley, and Mr. A. W. Hoffmeister reports it at Fort Madison, Lee 

 Co., Iowa.
