the margin more reddish-brown, the black margin more blurred, proximallj' not forming such wedge-shaped 

 spots. Beneath the hindwing is of a purer olive-grey, the white postdiscal band is more distinct, a roundish 



utahensis. cellular spot near the base the same. Pacific States. Colorado, Nebraska. — f. utahensis Shinner is larger and 

 lighter, beneath on the hindwing spotted greenish-white. Utah, Idaho, Colorado.

 snoifi. 0. snowi Edw. (181 g) is a much darker and larger species. Also the (J is dark brown above, 



behind the stigma with a series of boi^e-coloiu'ed spots, 3 subapical dots and 2 punctrform spots at the cell-end; 

 proximal margin haired reddish-yellow: hindwing with 3 or 4 postdiscal spots; in the $ all the spots are larger. 

 Beneath red-brown, all the spots more distinct, lighter, widened towards the proximal margin on the forewing. 

 South Colorado to Arizona and Mexico (Pviebla). 

 samenia. 0. samenta Dyar (181 g). Bronze-black, behind the stigma with 3 yellow spots, the uppermo.st being 



quadrangular, partly transparent and with 3 subapical dots. Hindwing with a postdiscal band of 3 reddish-

 The $ is quite blackish-brown without the reddish-yellow basal colour with larger, light yellowish-white spots. 

 Beneath dark brick-colom-ed, in the proximal part of the forewing black with large, bright yellowish-white

 meskei. 0. mcskei Ediv. (= stratoni^tZty.) somewhat resembles Erynnis attains (180 i), it is larger, above more 



brightly and clearly marked. Beneath uni-coloured bright orange, only at the proximal margin and base of the

■pratincola. 0. pratiucola Bsd. (181 h) is above almost the same, the margin a little broader and darker. Beneath

 the hindwing. California, Washington. 

 verus. 0. verus Edw. is allied to agricola. Above yellowish-red with a blackish-brown distal margin, being 



broad on the forewing, narrow on the hindwing; the subapical dots indistinct; at the upper end of the stigma 

 there is a blackish-brown spot extending to the dark margin. Beneath bright reddish-yellow, forewing at the 

 base and in the place of the stigma black, the spots of the upper surface hardly visible; hindwings entirely 

 unmarked. The $ is lighter, the spots are more distiirct, semi-diaphanous. Expanse of wings: 1 inch.

 from Ochlodes. 

 biDiaciiia. L. bimacula Gh-t. d; Bob. (= acanootus Scddr., Illinois Dodge) (181 h) is a large, blackish-brown 



species; on both sides of the long, narrow scent-scale stripe the ground is lighter reddish-yellow; collar haired
