dashes, one to each interspace, in the middle of each dash a black 

 dot, and another at anterior end ; across the disks a common row 

 of black spots, small, mostly lunular; the row on primaries zig- 

 zag ; on secondaries a double curve ; on primaries several of these 

 spots have white spots behind them, especially the three or four 

 on costal margin, and the one in second median interspace; each 

 wing has a white spot at end of cell, edged on either side by a 

 black bar, and some black dots nearer base. 



Under side of primaries light orange from base to margin^ 

 the border of hind margins ashy-brown ; the dashes and spots 

 repeated. Secondaries ashy-brown from base to margin ; the 

 marginal dashes and dots repeated, enlarged ; across disk a row 

 offline white spots, the first and third from costa minute, the third 

 small, the second large, oval, the fifth a patch on inner margin, 

 all edged anteriorly by black ; above these a row of three, the 

 middle one of which corresponds to the cellular spots of upper 

 side, and is edged on both sides by black ; the other two on the 

 anterior side only; three small white spots next base; fringes 

 alternately white and pale fuscous. 



Female. — Expands i.i inch. 



Upper side colored as the male, being wholly orange-fulvous, 

 except the borders. Under side as in male. 



From I ^ I ? taken by Mr. C. Dury in New Mexico, about 

 five miles east of Mesilla, in some foot-hills of the Organ Mts., in 

 1 88 1, about April 20. Size of Morino and the general arrange- 

 ment of the spots is as in that species, but the color is fulvous, 

 whereas Morino is fulvous on disk of primaries only, and not at 

 all on secondaries. Mr. Dury writes that the species was rather 

 abundant, and several examples were taken. It flew rapidly near 

 the ground, alighting frequently. 



Lyc.ena Annetta, Mead. Mss. 



Male. — Expands 1.25 inch. 



Upper side primaries blue ; costal margin of primaries silvery 

 next base ; fringes white. 



Under side white, with a faint blue tint; both wings have a 

 marginal series of small fuscous spots, preceded by lunules, and 

 behind the latter, on secondaries, yellow-fulvous ; a little of this 

 on primaries ; on secondaries the three or four spots next inner 

 angle are partly covered by pale blue metallic scales ; on the arc 

 of cell of each wing a fuscous bar. 



Female. — Expands 1.05 inch. 



Upper side pale or whitey brown, nearly white next the 

 hind margins, with a blue shade over the posterior half of each 

 wing and at base ; primaries have a narrow fuscous border to this 

 margin, and secondaries a black line ; the cellular mark on pri- 

 maries quite distinct, owing to the delicate texture of the wing ; 

 secondaries have a marginal series of round black spots, and the
