HOW TO KNOW THE BUTTERFLIES 



In the female the upper surface is dark brown with a trans- 

 verse row of yellow spots on both wings. 



The lower surface in both sexes is cinnamon brown with a 

 transverse row of yellow spots on both wings. On the fore 

 wings there is a blackish shade extending from cell R + M to 

 the inner margin, and this is not interrupted by a light colored 

 patch in cell Cu„, or at the most there is a diffused indistinct 

 patch. Expanse of wings one and one-fourth inches or more. 



The species occurs in a narrow belt from Mas- 

 sachusetts to Nebraska and south to New Jersey. 

 The common name refers to the shape and color 

 of the brand of the male.

In the ?nale the wings are dark brown marked and tinged 

 with yellow; the brand is very slender and nearly straight ; 

 outside of it there is a patch of brown scales, which makes it 

 appear wider than it is ; between the brand and the costal 

 margin the wing is heavily covered with yellow scales, and 

 the transverse row of spots beyond the middle of the wing is 

 more or less distinct ; the hind wings are tinged with yellow, 

 sometimes the transverse row of spots is faintly indicated. 



In the female the wings are dark brown above with a trans- 

 verse row of whitish spots beyond the middle of the fore 

 wing; hind wings without spots. See table, page 266, for 

 distinctions between the female of this species and that of 

 the little glass-wing, which it very closely resembles. 



Expanse of wings one inch to one and one-third inches.
