C. oetus Bdv. (5()e). Above grey-hrown, the apex of tlie forewiiig lighter, fringes grey, 2 brown marginal actus. 

 lines; the furewing with 2 small round black-grey sjjois in yellow-brown rings, in the q with brown seent-scale 

 stripe. Beneath yellowish grey, the basal half finely striated with brown, forewing with 2 blaek-ljrown eye- 

 spots with oeiu'e-yellow ring and white ])U]m1. The anterior eye-spot is very large, extending over ."} cellules, 

 the posterior is smaller. Both wings with 2 brown marginal and a submarginal line. From North Oiiliforiiia. 



C. cliaron Edir. (5Ud). Above brown, forewing in the ,j witli 1 (jr 2 black spots without rings, in the chunm. 

 $ lighter with 2 eye-shaped spots in oehre-yellow rings. The dark brown scent-scale spot of the ,^ extends 

 into cellule 3. On the under siu'face there are in both sexes eye-spots with yellow rings and white ]>upils insteail 

 of the black spots. Both wings are beneath brown, finely striated with dark In'own all over, hindwing with 

 dark brown, dentate median line and a row of more or less distinct, small, black, white-pupilled eye-sj)ots. 

 — Egg, larva and pupa are almost exactly as in iiieadi. The longitudinal lines of the larva are commonly purer 

 white, the pupa sometimes black-brown or black-grey. The butterfly flies near the ground in grassy places 

 and visits especially composites. Flies in June to August. Locality: the west of North America, from British 

 Colombia to New Mexico. — sylvestris Kdio. (= phocus Ediv.) is according to Holland a form of rhii.ron, with .■<!/lv<:^/ris. 

 the eye-spots on the underside of the hindwing indistinct. (Kirby in his Catalogue has given .si/lpeMris Edir. 

 as the oldest name for octu.'^ Bdv.) Tlie figure called sylvestris on ])l. 50 d Itelongs to st/n'nele. 



C. paulus Edir. (5(fd). On the ujiper surface similar to cJuiritii. but ben-eatli always with 2 eyt>-s])ots inndus. 

 on the forewiTig in J and V- T'n' hindwing has also one or 2 eye-like sjjots on the upper surface. On the un- 

 der surface the hindwing is grey in the distal third, finely sti'iated with dai'k brown, j)roximaJI>- bordcrecl ])\ 

 a dark brown dentate line. In this marginal area are ])lact'(l 5 or (i black eye-s])ots with white jiupils juid 

 yellow and brown rings. From California and Nevada. 



C. stlienele Bdv. (50 e, the form erroneously called sylvestris on pi. 50 d also belongs here). Above brown ■^themli'. 

 w ith 2 round lilack spots on the forewing, of which in the ^J only the upper is pupilled with white, but in the $ '^ot h 

 have white pupils and brownish yellow rings. The species is recognizable by the broad, dentate dark median band 

 on the underside of the hindwing, which is strongly constricted in two jilaces and both proximally and especially 

 distally is broadly margined with whitish grey. In the marginal area a row of eye-sjjots, sometimes indistinct. 

 From California. 



C. wheeleri Edw. (= hoffmani Strerk.). Similar to nepJiele, Imt larger, especially the $. Ground-colour irhccln-i. 

 brown. The forewing above has 3 eye-spots. The apical eye-spot is double, consisting of a larger ocellus in 

 cellule 5 and a smaller in cellule 4. Both are surrounded by a common narrow light yellow ring. In 

 the $ these eye-spots are placed on a broad light brown band and 2 eye-sjiots are also present on the hind- 

 wing above before the anal angle. The under surface is not bi'own as in nephele, but in the ,^ light grey, in the 

 9 light yellowish grey, finely striated with brown. Forewing with a dentate median stripe and ."? nearly 

 straight marginal lines, all brown. Hindwing with a Itroken and a second dentate median stripe and 3 undulate 

 lines at the margin. In the J there is on the forewing a small 4th eye-spot in cellule 3, these eye-s]jots arc 

 surrounded in pairs by 2 yellow lings with brown exterior ring. In the $ these brown rings are ])articularly 

 large, measuring 7 mm. in diameter. On the hindwing beneath therc^ are black eye-spots with white ])upils 

 in light yellow and brown rings. Nevada. 



C. behrii Grinnell. Much smaller than the preceding, only 43 mm. in expanse. Brown, forew'ing with inlirii. 

 a black, white-pupilled apical ocellus, margined with somewhat lighter brown, a black spot in cellule 2, an 

 indistinct submarginal and a brown marginal line. Hindwing with black anal spot. Beneath forewing wood- 

 colour, marbled with darker, with 2 black, white-pupilled ocelli, an undulate brown median band, a broad 

 band between the eye-spots and the distal margin and 2 marginal lines likewise brown. The hindwing is more 

 mixed with grey. A broad band traverses the middle. In the marginal area is placed a row of (5 eye-spots, 

 the 2nd and 5th large, the rest small. The Srd eye-spot has no pupil, the others are all white-jjupilled. The 

 broad band behind the middle and the 2 marginal lines are as on the forewing. The $ measures 40 mm. and 

 only differs from the ,^ in having the black spots on the upjjer surface all pupilled with white. From Tamal- 

 pais, a mountain in Marin County on the Bay of San Francisco in California. In the collection of the Californian 

 Academy of Sciences. Collected by Behr. 



C. glaucope Fldr. (= friedenreichi Stgr.) (50d). Above brown with a broad red-yellow band on both (ihiunipe. 

 wings, in which are placed on the forewing a double ocellus before the apex and a single one in cellule 2, on 

 the hindwing sometimes a black dot in cellule 2. The under surface is lighter and striated with dark brown, 

 on the forewing with the same band and eye-spots as above, but on the hindwing with a narrow, almost straight 

 ochre-yellow stripe, extending from the middle of the costal margin nearly to the anal angle. Behind this stripe 

 are placed on the costal margin 2 dark brown spots. Brazil (provinces of St. Catharina and Parana). — boen- bocmibifi- 

 ninghauseni Foetterle (50e) is only a form of ghiucope in which the distal half of the hindwing beneath is not """''""■ 

 striated with dark brown and the light yellow median stripe is distally widened. From Itatiaya.
