lines of the under surface, the more obscurely colored upper surface 

 (which contrasts so much the more forcibly with the paler and bright 

 hue of the under side) and by the straighter external margin and more

We have heard of the discovery of this species in Michigan and 

 look to hear of its capture in New England.
