 About 1 inch in ex])anse. The male above is bright shining blue, with white fringes, sometimes brown 

 at tcrmination.s ol" veins. Female is blue bordered with black at exterior margin, broadest at the apex and ex- 

 tending inwards on the eosta. Southward, in ^'irginia, the prevalent colour of'the female on the whole upper 

 surface is uiiifiirm dark brown ; examples also occur in same locality, that are intermediate in colour between 

 these brown ones and the common northern blue f(irm. The un<ler surface is greyish white and varies in depth 

 of marking.s. There is a row of brown sub-marginal spots succeeded or surmounted inwardly by a row of 

 crescents, in many examples the space between these latter and the outer margin is eiuirely tilled with dark 

 brown, es|)ecially on the secondaries, thus forming a scalloped border ; in some s|)ei'inieiis in addition to this 

 latter there is on the disk of the seconchirics a large brown patch ; this is represented in Kirby's figure in 

 Faun. Am. Bor. ; it seems the further northward the more ])roniinent the marKings on the under side become. 

 Found in Labrador, Canada, and Eastern l'nite<l States to Virginia; I have not heard of its having occurred 

 further southward than the last named state. 



This unfortunate insect has also been a victim to the insatiable mania for manufacturing new species, 

 which seems to be a national affliction with the majority of American Ijcpidoplerists.

 The size of (omyidasnw\ much the same colour on up])er surface, a black spot on secondaries towards 

 the anal angle. Lnder surfine silky brown, with a number of spots of same colour surrounded by paler rings 

 and arranged in broken rows ; two black spots at costa of secondaries, one within the cell and another between 

 this latter and the alxlominal margin ; between the second and third median nervules, near exterior margin, a 

 large, round, black s[)ot with a few silvery green atoms at its outer edge ; between this spot and the anal angle 

 is a small, ilouble, silver green spot. Southern States and West Indies — very common in Florida and 

 Georgia.

 The smallest of all the known X. Am. Lyciena — expands from J to | inch. Lpper side reddish brown, 

 darker at the margins, fringe white except towards the inner angle of primaries where it is grey or smoky. 

 Under side whitish at base of wings on ))rimaries, from thence to outer margin reddish striated with fine, 

 irregular, white lines. Secondaries, on disc coloured and marked in same way, and with a marginal row of 

 spots, the one at anal angle silver, the next four black, and the last two, at apex, silver; these spots are 

 succeeded inwardly by a white space. California, Xevada, etc.

 This species is unknown to me, nor am I able to identify it by the original description which T here 

 transcribe as another illustration of the valuelessness of such things. 



" Expunda one inch. Male. Upper side viulet blue with a pink tinge; hind margin broadly fuscous; a large black discal spot 

 on each wing ; two or three obsolete spots near anal angle, the second from the angle with a faint yellow lunule ; fringe brownish white. 

 Under side greyish white, blueish next base; primaries have a fuscous spot near base, a discal bar and transverse sinuous row of elon- 

 gated fuscous spots, each edged with whitish ; along the margin obsolete spots surmounted by faint lunules. Secondaries have three 

 fuscous points near base, a discal bar and a transverse sinuous row of fuscous spots ; whole hind margin Ijordered by small metallic blue 

 spots, each surmounted by a blackish lunule. — Female : up])er side clean brown ; the obsolete spots next anal angle, surmounted by a 

 narrow crenated yellow band, under side as in male, but the five yellow spots next anal angle are surmounted by ochrey yellow lunules, 

 edged above with black, fringe long and fuscous at terminations of nervures. California, Dr. Behr. "
