72 IOWA STUDIES IN NATURAL HISTORY 



16. PAMPHILA ATT ALUS 



PampMla attaltis Edw., Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. iii, 276, 1871. 



Scudder, Butt. New Eng. ii, 1653, 1889. 



Holland, Butterfly Book 349, pi. xlvii, f. 23, 1898. 



Florida, Texas. In the Barnes collection several specimens are labelled 

 Ohio, and Scudder (Butt. New Eng. ii, 1655) mentions records from Wis- 

 consin, Iowa and New Jersey. I think that the middle western records 

 are more likely to be pawnee or ottoe. Southern specimens of attains are 

 darker than these two species, and have the spots of the upper surface dark- 

 er and more reddish. 



16a. race SEMINOLE 

 Ocytes Seminole Scud., Syst. Eev. 55, (76), 1872. 

 Erynnis attains quaiapen Scud., Butt. New Eng. 1655, 1889. 

 Pamphila slossonae Skinner, Ent. Amer. vi, 138, 1890. 



Florida, April to June, October. 



Seminole is very dark both above and below. The maculation is re- 

 stricted in the male, and the under surface of the primaries very slightly 

 marked with fulvous, while in the female all spots are whitish and the 

 under surface is not marked with fulvous. Scudder describes quaiapen as 

 a female form of attains. 



17. PAMPHILA ME8KEI 



Pamphila meskei Edw., Can. Ent. ix, 58, 1877. 

 PampMla straton Edw., Papilio, i, 78, 1881. 



Florida and Texas. 



I have seen only three males in the Barnes collection. These resemble 

 attains above; beneath the secondaries are yellow -fulvous, immaculate in 

 one of the three specimens and with traces of large, diffuse, pale spots in 

 the other two. 



18. PAMPHILA OTTOE 

 Hesperia ottoe Edw., Proe. Ent. Soc Phil, vi, 207, 1866. 

 Scudder, Mem. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist, ii, 348, pi. x, f. 6, pi. xi, f. 13, 1874. 

 In the typical form the males are tawny above with a very narrow ter- 

 minal border of fuscous, and compared specimen^ in the Barnes collec- 

 tion have the under surface bright yellow. I have taken a species at Sioux 

 City, Iowa, in late July and early August which I have placed as ottoe 

 and which is distinguished by the ochraceous under surface and the exten- 

 sion of the pale area of the upper surface along the veins into the moder- 

 ately broad fuscous terminal border. True pawnee occurs in this locality 

 at a different season. Specimens in the Barnes collection are from Mon- 

 tana. 



19. PAMPHILA PAWNEE 



Hesperia pawnee Dodge, Can. Ent. vi, 44, 1874.
