Var. a. Balderi, Hub. Zutr. 981—982. Balder, Bois. 
Smaller and less ocellated than /uéfa.

Wings ahove reddish brown, the secondaries somewhat the paler. 
Primaries along costa, on the veins, and along outer margin dull brown; 
secondaries crossed by many dull slightly russet brown striz loosely 
forming a basal, median, extra median and marginal band. ‘These 
formed by markings below showing through, Beneath, primaries white ~ 
anteriorly striated with black, pale russet posteriorly; secondaries white, 
striated with black as shown above. All wings marked more or less 
with ocelli, generally one to three, these being more distinct beneath. 
Expands about 2 inches. Rocky Mts. 
Var. a° Varuna, W. H. Edw. Can. Ent. 14, 2. 
Smaller, generally a shade redder above, more ocellated. Montana. 
6, Chryxus, Doub. Hew. Gen. Diur. Lep. I, 383, pl. 64. Calais, Scud. 
Wings above ochrey yellow, the primaries often clouded from base 
to median space with brown, which generally takes the form ofa broad 
diffuse dash, back of and at end of discal space. Costa and outer mar— 
gins of both wings dark brown. Markings below often showing through 
all wings. Beneath, primaries white, striated with black along costa; 
blackish along margin; dark buff posteriorly. Secondaries white, 
heavily marbled and striated with black, showing more or less distinctly 
a broad median band black within edge, white outwardly. One or more 
ocelli submarginally on each wing, generally three on primaries, and one 
on secondaries, all repeated below, Female paler. without basal cloud- 
ing on primaries. Expands 2—2.50 inches, Colorado, Rocky Mts. 
7, Ivallda, Mead. Can. Ent. 10, 196. 
Very much in markings as Chryxus, but with the upper surface 
fuscous instead of fulvous; there is a submarginal row of gray ochraceous 
spots between the nervures. Ocelli as in Chryxus. Expands 2.25 inch, 
Sierras between Nevada and Cal. 
It is with extreme hesitation I write this as a species, inasmuch as 
its variation from Chryxus is only in coloration: a very frail basis for spe- 
cific distinction. But where taken, it is entirely uniform in color, and 
this color has not been found, so far as I know, where specimens of 
Chryxus have been taken. It is a near offshoot from Caryxws, but may 
stand with specific rank until intergrades are found.
