(4) Grapta sdenus Edwards, Plate XXVIII. tf. Type (The 

 Toper). 



Wings in form very much like those of G. faunus, but the 

 fore wing not as strongly produced at the ends of the upper 

 radial, and the hind wing at the end of the first submedian. 

 The wings are much darker below than in faunus, without 

 large pale spots, at most sprinkled with white scales. Expanse 

 2,00-2.30 inches. 



Occurs in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon. 



The life history of this species is not as yet known. It is 

 highly probable that the insect has the same tastes as the other 

 species of the genus, and lives upon much the same food-plants. 

 The late W. G. Wright, who was a careful observer, states that 

 the butterfly haunts partially wooded places upon hillsides in 

 the region where it is found. It is to be hoped that some 

 bright young person in Oregon or Washington may succeed in 

 breeding the larvae to maturity, giving us an account of his 

 observations. It is a mistake to suppose that everything 

 which is worth knowing is already known about our lepidoptera. 

 There is much for the students of the future to find out.
