N. Henshawi, Edw. Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 5, 205. 
This species is very like gemma in appearance and markings and 
indeed in our opinion it is but variety of the latter and entitled to rank 
only as such; however as we have seen only few specimens of gemma and 
those all pale forms and many Henshaw all of a dark color though by no 
means al] agreeing with the type form in maculation or the extent of the 
red markings, we retain it for the present as a good species. It differs 
from gemma only in the darker ground color,-the more or less extensive 
tufous tint in the wings and by the generally more distinct markings of 
underside. 
Expands 1.5—2.5 inches. ad. Arizona. 
All our Henshaw7 are from Arizona, while we have no gemma thence 
the probability is that they are local variations somewhat as are Sa/yrus, 
alope and nephele, and that regions with intermediate forms will be found. 
SATYRODES, ‘Scudder. 
Differs from Meonympha in that the veins of the primaries are scarcely 
perceptibly inflated and very gradually so. The difference in this respect 
from Neonympha, in which the species is placed by Mr. W. H. Edwards, 
is marked and Mr. Strecker in placing it in Pararge is equally incorrect. 
Mr, Scudder gives satisfactory reasons for his genus (see Buff. Bull. 2, 
242). The species is: 
S. canthus, Bd. Lep. Am. Sept. t. 60, (Larva, pupa and imago.) 
(Satyrus). Boisduvalii, Harr. Inj. Ins. 305, f. 128. 
The subterminal space above is paler, else dull grey. The primaries 
have four, the secondaries six black spots on the upper side. ‘They are 
smal], on the primaries sometimes punctiform and scarcely ocellate. On 
the secondaries the spots are always larger and more distinct. Beneath 
the color is more yellowish, the spots are distinctly ocellate and centred 
with blue; a darker angulate line bounds the subterminal pale space; a 
similar line crosses the discal cell on the primaries, another terminates it; 
on the secondaries there is another from the costal nearly to the hind 
margin, % from base. 
Expands 1.75—2.25 inches. Had. No. and M. States to Miss 
Larva on grasses.
