 From Nova Scotia, Northern Ontario, Lake Superior and Wisconsin, south-

Food-plant: Bumex acetosella. 



In this American species, the prolongation of the lower median nervule of 

 the hind wings into a triangular tail, very common in H. Phlaeas, is seldom 

 seen. California examples agree with the eastern type, and not with the 

 European species, as Strecker asserts.
