THECLA II. 
V0 
white arid black ; palpi white tipped with black ; antennae annulated white and 
black ; club black tipped with ferruginous. 
From a single specimen taken by Mr. E. B. Reed, at Port Stanley, Ontario, in 
July, 1868. 
This species is allied to T. humuli, Harris, {hyper id, Bois. and Lee.) , but dif- 
fers in several respects ; especially in the color of under surface, in the absence of 
a fulvous border to the discal lines in each wing, in the conspicious blue patch and 
red and black submarginal crescents ; humuli also is double-tailed, the shorter of 
the two, being twice as long as the tail of the present species.

THECLA STRIGOSA. 3—6. 
Thecla strigosa, Harris, Ins. Mass. 
Male. Expands 1.1 inch. 
Upper side fuscous, without spots ; secondaries have two tails, the inner one 
twice the length of the other, each bordered and tipped with white ; fringes fuscous, 
on secondaries crossed by a whitish line. 
Under side pale brown ; the outer limbs of both wings crossed by four irregu- 
lar, rather wavy white lines, varying a little in individuals, but of which the two in- 
ner ones on primaries approximate posteriorly ; the third being shorter than the sec- 
ond and the fourth or outer one reaching only to middle of wing ; on secondaries 
the inner line extends nearly across, then bending at a small angle runs some way 
up abdominal margin, preceded in the last part of its course by another line near- 
ly parallel to it ; above the termination of these two a circlet of white on the marg- 
in ; the outer line is short and limited to the middle of the wing ; primaries have a 
submarginal row of indistinct brown lunules edged anteriorly by white ; secondaries 
have a similar series, but posteriorly large, bright red, edged above with black which 
itself is edged with white, enclosing next anal angle a large black space nearly cov- 
ered with blue scales ; beyond this a small black spot ; another at the angle sur- 
mounted by a red stripe edged like the lunules and extending up the margin ; the 
lunules next outer angle usually exhibit a few scales of red ; margins of both wings 
edged by a fine whitish line. 
Body fuscous, beneath greyish-white ; legs white annulated with brown ; palpi 
white, the upper joint black tipped with white ; antennae annulated black and white; 
club fuscous tipped with white. 
Female. Expands 1.2 inch. 
Paler than male ; in some cases showing a fulvous spot near anal angle of sec- 
ondaries ; the wavy line edged anteriorly by dark brown.
