rado, on the heights of the Rocky Mountains. Pheres is a little 

 less blue than Fulla, so that on the female there is no blue to be 

 seen, except close toward the body ; and on under side the white is 

 sordid, and the spots are very small.

 Icaroides is one of the oldest names, having been taken in the 

 days of the first gold excitement, and named in 1852. It is very 

 wide-spread, and is captured by every butterfly hunter, and every-

 printing. With these plates before you there will be no occasion 

 for mistake.

 well have become discouraged in trying to maintain a separate 

 individuality. The male is bright pruinose-blue, with wide dusky 

 margin, and white under side ; the female is red-brown, often 

 with a bronze flush on hind wings, and beneath is of dark coflfee- 

 color; both sexes with two parallel rows of marginal points on 

 hind wing, with many other points on both wings, all of them being 

 large and positive.

 description reads : "Brown, glossed violet ; beneath, ash-brown, on 

 fore wing a median sinuate row of seven large spots ; hind wing,
