Psyche 
[Sept.-Dee. 
dorothea had I wished to retain the more familiar name for a 
butterfly which appears to be more widely distributed this side 
of the border. Godman’s mention of “ henshawi ” (II, p. 658) 
may as well refer to dorothea ; Weymer’s description of “ hen- 
shawi ” in what Holland politely calls a “monograph” of the 
Neonympha is much too slapdash and muddled to be taken 
into any account at all. 
But to return to Edwards 5 description in Butt. N. Am.: 
“Male. Exp. 1.5 inch. Upperside dark brown, often with 
russet over the extra-discal areas of both wings ; some examples 
have an ill defined patch of russet on the median interspaces of 
primaries, and there is usually a russet edging to hind margin 
secondaries next anal angle; on the middle of same margin two 
small black spots not always present ; fringes dark grey. Under- 
side either brown or russet, thickly dusted with yellow-white 
scales, more yellow beyond the discal band of secondaries; the 
whole surface finely streaked and dotted with red brown; pri- 
maries crossed by three wavy red brown lines, two of which 
enclose the discal band, the other lying nearly midway between 
the band and margin, often macular; some examples have a 
demi-line crossing cell to median ; the discal lines are continued 
across secondaries, the outer one often projecting roundly on 
second subcostal nervule; a short sinuous line an anal angle; 
on middle of hind margin a large suboval patch, the ground of 
which is dark brown, sprinkled with whitish scales; within this, 
in upper median and discoidal interspaces, a pair of velvet 
black spots, each with an inverted “T” shaped patch of silver; 
in the interspaces towards outer angle a pair of silver dashes 
each, and in lower median a silver serration, and a bar in sub- 
median. Body above dark brown, beneath grey brown; legs 
same; palpi grey with many black hairs; antennae blackish, 
annulated with light; club black above, ferruginous at tip and 
beneath. 
“Female. Exp. 1.7 inch.; russet, brown about the margin; 
spots on secondaries as in male. Underside of primaries russet, 
of secondaries yellow brown; marked like the male. 
“New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado. First taken by H. W. 
Henshaw of the Wheeler Exploring Expedition, 1874. Morris- 
son afterwards brought examples from Arizona and B. Neu- 
moegen from Oak Creek Canon, Colorado.” 
It is evident that here again Edwards had a series of mixed
