The species is easily distinguished from sy/vestris by the form of the in- 
ner margin of discal band of secondaries, and by the distinct line bounding 
the extra discal pale space of primaries. Mr. Edwards seems to have 
taken a dark Q for the © of paulus because he says the black sexual dash 
is wanting, In all my of specimens, unquestionably type paulus, it is 
present. The only difference I can find between paulus and sthenele is 
that the former is larger, the contrast of color on secondaries is less mark- 
ed, the outer margin of discal band is not quite so irregular, and the 
ocelli are usually more completely represented. However my, series en- 
tirely fills the differences between the two, In Mr. ae Edward’s ocilest. 
tion I have seen type sthenele from California. :

Of this species I have 2 ¢'s and 1 Q from Montana, decidedly be- 
longing to this species, but differing somewhat from the typical form de- 
scribed by Mr. Edwards: the latter is “of a cinereous brown, a little dusky 
over the basal area of fore wings; the underside is light brown with a 
yellow tint throughout, and over the whole area beyond the discal stripe 
on hind wing there is a gray shade either whitish or brown gray. On this 
part of the wing the fine dark streaks are obliterated, and the two stripes 
being heavy and dark, while the intervening space is also darker than other 
parts of the wing, there is a strong contrast of color between the extra 
discal area, and this so-formed band. The indentation in the outer stripe 
of ariane is here present. but is deeper. The small ocelli are normally 
six, but in half the examples they are more or less wanting, and are al- 
ways very small.” The females are a little larger and paler (especially 
beneath) than the males, On the upper side. the primaries have two 
ocellate spots usually more or less indistinct, and always more distinct in 
the Qs. The anal ocellus of secondaries is sometimes present, sometimes 
absent, and in no specimen that I have seen is it complete. 
Mr. Edwards compares the species with arzane, but it seems to be- 
long by the wing form rather to the present group. My Montana speci- 
mens agree perfectly in maculation and form of discal stripe on second- 
aries with the type form, and can be no other species; but the color of 
secondaries is rather less contrasting, and while one ({ will fit very well 
into the typical series, the others have the extra discal space merely 
powdered with grey, and the band is scarcely contrasting.
