The upper side is well shown in our figure. The under side 

 is paler than the upper, and the basal and mesial areas are 

 mottled with narrow pale brown streaks, while the hind wing 

 is crossed about the middle by a dark band, the outer margin of 

 which is sharply indented. Expanse 1.50 inch. Larva pupates 

 under ground. 



Inhabits the mountain states of the Pacific Coast.

 (Scudder's Satyr). 



On the under side the mesial band of the hind wings is nar- 

 rower and more irregularly curved than in the preceding species 

 and the outer indentations are more strongly produced. Ex- 

 panse 1.90 inch. Occurs in Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. 



GENUS SATYRUS WESTWOOD (THE WOOD-NYMPHS) 



Medium-sized or small butterflies. Wings marked with eye- 

 spots, or ocelli. On upper side generally very obscurely col- 

 ored with some shade of gray or brown, occasionally marked 

 by yellow bands; under side frequently beautifully streaked 

 and spotted, with the ocelli more prominent than on the upper 

 side. The veins of the fore wing are much swollen at the base.
