attached to the species were verified and the W. T. material was classified 
by the aid of Mr. Edwards excellent paper in Vol. 12 of the Can. Ent. 
Mr, Edwards in the preparation of that paper evidently had before him 
a large mass of material, but apparently none covering the localities 
above mentioned, and my conclusions from the material before me are 
somewhat different from those reached by him. 
The genus Sazyrus is distinguished by having all the veins of prim- 
aries inflated at base: the costal very prominently so, the median more 
gradually, the inflation traceable to the inception of vein two, vein one 
very gradually and much less distinctly than either of the others. The 
species vary in expanse from 1—2.5 inches, are of a smoky brown color 
above and in the first group usually with a more or less distinct yellow band 
near outer margin, in which are from one to three ocellate spots. When 
there is no distinct band, the spots still remain, are often not ocellate 
and occasionally one is wanting. In group two the species lack the distinct 
band, In s¢hene/e it is faintly indicated in the Q, while in all the species 
the Q has amore or less distinct yellowish ring surrounding the spots, 
which is usually obsolete or entirely wanting in the ¢j\. The secondaries 
in all but two of the species have none, or but a single ocellate spot on 
upper surface. Beneath, the ocelli and band of primaries are reproduced, 
the former usually much more distinctly than above, The secondaries are 
mottled with short dark lines, have usually a more or less distinctly 
marked discal band, the borders of which are formed of rather darker and 
often extremely irregular lines: beyond the outer of these boundary lines 
the wing is usually paler, and in this paler space are from one to six spots 
usually ocellate, and when all present, in two groups of three each, the 
middle spot of each group largest. 
In tabular form the species which I recognize as such may be 
‘ distinguished as follows: 
Size large, primaries broad, comparatively short, apex and outer margin
