HOW TO KNOW THE BUTTERFLIES 



the basal two-thirds, and on the outer third by two lines of 

 shining scales, that look like cut steel, and an intermediate 

 row of black spots. The under surface is of a brighter rust 

 color and marked as above. Expanse of wings four-fifths of an 

 inch or less. 



The early stages are unknown ; the species oc- 

 curs in the Southern States. It is believed to be 

 several-brooded. We captured specimens in cen- 

 tral Florida in April ; and it has been found in 

 Georgia as late as the end of October. 



The Large Metal-mark 



Calephelis borealis (Cal-e-phe'lis bo-re-a'lis) 



The upper surface of the wings is dull brownish yellow, 

 crossed by obscure, transverse stripes ; on the outer half of the 

 wings are two lead-colored lines, with a row of black dots be- 

 tween them. The under surface is of a rather dark and pale 

 orange; paler and duller next the base, marked with trans- 

 verse black lines and dots, and transverse series of steel-colored 

 spots. Expanse of wings one to one and one-fourth inches. 



The early stages are unknown. The butterfly 

 is very rare in our territory ; it has been taken in 

 New York, New Jersey, West Virginia, Michi- 

 gan, and Illinois.
