Another of" those doubtful affairs for which I can do no more than give the author's description : 



Male expands 1 inch. Upper side brown with pinkish l)Iue reflection, deeper blue next base ; secondaries have two fuscous points 

 in the interspace next anal angle and a round spot in the next preceding ; fringes grey-white. Under side fawn color, on the outer half 

 of tioth wings reticulated with whitish ; primaries have a mesial series of large black rounded spots, and a concolored spot on arc, all 

 edged with white. Secondaries have tliree spots on hind margin corresponding lo those of upper side, velvet black with metallic green 

 edge.s ; two black spots on costa and two at base. Body covered with blue h.airs, below grey ; palpi white, last joint bl.Tck : antennae an- 

 nulated black and white ; club black above, fulvous below and at tip. From Colorado, taken by Mr. Mead."

I inch in expanse. Male resembles closely in colour and markings Battoides, Behr, already described. 

 Female is brown on upper side, beneath same as male. Nevada.

 Very close to the ])receding, to which it bears a most alarming similarity in both sexes. California.

 row of black sub-marginal spots succeeded inwardly by a narrow orange band ; fringe white. Female dark 

 brown with orange sub-marginal band on secondaries. Beneath both .sexes nearly like Anna. California, 

 common.

 Oupido Lycea, Kirby, Cat. Diurnal Lep., p. 377, (1871). 

 Of this species, which is unknown to me, the original description says: 



"Male. Expands 1 2-10 inch. Upper side purplish lilue, colour of Antiac.is, Uoisd., with broad fuscou.s hind margins; fringes 

 white. Under side grey white; both wings have a row of brown point? representing the lunules of obsolete marginal spots; a second row 

 of eight black spots, each circled with white ; the first on costa minute, the second round, the third oval, the fourth, fifth ,ind sixth cordate, 

 the others round; all, except first, conspiiuous ; discal spot reniform. Secondaries have a second row of small spots nearly parallel with 

 the margin ; the second ancl third separated by a wide space ; near the base three points in a line, one upon the costa, the second in the 

 cell, the third upon the abdominal margin ; all the spots circled with white; discal streak faint." 



" Female. Expands 1.4 inch. Same size a.s male. Upper side fuscous, slightly blue at ba«e of both wings, the discal spot of pri- 

 maries appearing through the %ving: under side fawn color, m.arked as in male. Taken in Colorado by Mr. Mead."
