782 ZOOLOGY— INSECTS. 



LYC2BNA BATTOIDES, Boisd. 

 Lyccena Battoides, Boisd., L6pidoptferes de la Californie, 1SG9. 



This species is very similar to Glancou, Edw., but is much darker, and 

 more heavily marked beneath. A few specimens were taken in Colorado, 

 nearly all on the headwaters of the Platte River, at moderate elevations. 

 The species should be looked for in June and July. 



LYCJSNA GLAUCON, Edw. 



Lyceum Glaucon, Edw., Trans. Aid. Enfc. Soc, 1871. 



Two or three specimens, apparently referable to this species, were taken 



on the South Park road in the latter part of June. It is also found in 



Nevada. 



LYOuUNA ACMON, Hewitson & Westwood. 



Lyccena Acmon, Moruis, Syn. Am. Lep., 87. 



Tins is an abundant species in Colorado, occurring at nearly all eleva- 

 tions from May to the 1st of September; and near the Yosemite Valley, 

 California, I have taken specimens as late as the middle of October. The 

 females of L. Acmon are usually brown, but occasionally varieties are found 

 having the whole surface covered with blue scales, except a rather broad, 

 marginal band of brown, which, on the secondaries, contains the orange 

 streak. Between these extremes all intermediate variations may be found. 

 L. Acmon was brought by the expedition also from Southern Utah. 



LYO.ENA CALCHAS, Belir. 

 Lyccena Calchas, BnnR, Proc. Cal. Acad. Nat. Sci. 



A single specimen was taken August 5, on Gray's Peak, at an eleva- 

 tion of 12,000 feet. One other was seen on a mountain near Twin Lakes 

 at a similar elevation. The original types were found in the Sierra Nevada 

 of California at high elevations. 



tLYCJSNA ANNA, Edw. 



Lyccena Anna, Edw., Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Pliila., 1802. 

 Lyccena Cajona, Eeakikt, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phila., 18G7. 



I have no knowledge of specimens of this species from Colorado. It 

 is probably not found east of Nevada. Until recently, it has been con- 

 founded with the following species.
