LYCLENA. 
87 
Considered to be a Polar variety of Orbitulus, which it closely resembles, but is smaller, and on under sur- 
face the marks are much more sharply defined and the ground colour darker, especially on secondaries. Found 
in Labrador at 57° N. L. and from thence northward.

With regard to this species I can do no more than copy the description, as I have heretofore done in the 
cases of such as I do not know and consider doubtful. * 
“Male. Expands 1.25 inch. Upper side dull violet blue ; margins narrowly edged with fuscous; fringes sordid white. Under 
side fawn colour, blueish at base ; slightly clouded with grey on secondaries ; both wings have fuscous discal bars, edged with whiteish ; 
a common median row of rounded fuscous spots, all edged with whitish, that of primaries curved beyond the cell, of secondaries parallel 
to the margin ; a common sub-marginal row of faint spots, the second from anal angle surmounted by a round spot, perhaps belonging to 
median row, but much posterior to the line of same; near base, a black point on cell and a second on costa. Body above blue, thorax 
beneath blue gray ; palpi white at base, furnished with long hairs, black at tip ; antennae black, aunulated with white ; club black above, 
feruginous below and at tip. Female. Expands 1.3 inches. Upper side light brown, deep blue at base, covering half the wing on pri- 
maries, fading gradually towards the hind margin, and on secondaries covering the ceil and upper abdominal margin ; primaries have a 
curved black line at extremity of cell ; faint traces of fulvous spots next anal angle. Under side as in male. From Kodiak, 1^1$.

From Oregon. Entirely unknown to me, nor have I present access to the work in which it is described.

Expands 1 1-5 inch. Male; violet blue with exterior margins of all wings narrowly bordered with 
brown; fringes white. Female; greyish brown tinged with violet towards the base. Underneath both sexes 
are almost white; on primaries a iarge black discal spot, a mesial row of six black spots and a sub-marginal 
row of smaller, fainter ones. Secondaries ; three black points near base, a discal bar, a mesial and sub-marginal 
row of small black spots or points; all the spots circled with white. Sierras of California, evidently rare.

About an inch in expanse; the upper surface^ of the male is a most beautiful silvery blue, but what 
obviates the necessity of all further description, and distinguishes this from all other Xorth American species, 
is the large orange or gold-coloured patch near inner angle on primaries. The female is unknown to me. 
Mountains of California, very rare.

Syn. Lep. X. Am., p. 329, (1862).- 
Expands 1^ inch. Males dark violet blue edged exteriorly with a black line. Female brown, suffused 
more or less with violet near base; on secondaries a sub-marginal connected row of orange or yellow lunules, 
more or less distinct in different examples. Fringe in both sexes white. Under surface grey; on all wings a 
discal bar and mesial row of black spots, also sub-marginal row of spots each surmounted by a crescent; the 
space between these spots and crescents is yellow; sub-marginal spots of secondaries edged inwardly with sil- 
very scales. The whole under surface is very like the European Argus L. Found in X. Labrador, British 
Columbia, Canada, Xew England States, Xew York and Michigan.

Cupido Battoides, Kirby, Cat. Diurnal Lep., p. 360, (1871). 
Expands nearly one inch. Male, on upper side, is dark violet-blue, with blackish exterior margins ; 
fringe smoky. Under side yellowish-grey, marked much as in Scudderii but has an additional black spot in 
cell of primaries; all spots much heavier than in that species, and no indications of silver or golden scales on 
the sub-marginal spots of secondaries. The female I have not yet seen, but she is doubtless brown on upper 
side. California, Colorado, etc., — scarce.
