Another of those doubtful affairs for which I can do no more than give the author’s description : 
Male expands 1 inch. Upper side brown with pinkish blue reflection, deeper blue next base ; secondaries have two fuscous points 
in the interspace next anal angle and a round spot in the next preceding ; fringes grey-white. Under side fawn color, on the outer half 
of both wings reticulated with whitish ; primaries have a mesial series of large black rounded Spots, and a concolored spot on arc, all 
edged with white. Secondaries have three spots on hind margin corresponding to those of upper side, velvet black with metallic green 
edges; two black spots on costa and two at base. Body covered with blue hairs, below grey ; palpi white, last joint black ; antennae an- 
nulated black and white ; club black above, fulvous below and at tip. From Colorado, taken by Mr. Mead.”

Very close to the preceding, to which it bears a most alarming similarity in both sexes. California.

Expands f to 1 inch. Male, upper surface violet blue, wings edged with a black line ; on secondaries a 
row of black sub-marginal spots succeeded inwardly by a narrow orange band ; fringe white. Female dark 
brown with orange sub-marginal band on secondaries. Beneath both sexes nearly like Anna. California, 
common.

Of this species, which is unknown to me, the original description says: 
“Male. Expands 1 2-10 inch. Upper side purplish blue, colour of Antiacis, Boisd., with broad fuscous hind margins; fringes 
white. 1 nder side grey white ; both wings have a row of brown points representing the lunules of obsolete marginal spots ; a second row 
of eight black spots, each circled with white ; the first on costa minute, the second round, the third oval, the fourth, fifth and sixth cordate, 
the others round; all, except first, conspicuous ; discal spot reniform. Secondaries have a second row of small spots nearly parallel with 
the margin ; the second and third separated by a w T ide space ; near the base three points in a line, one upon the costa, the second in the 
cell, the third upon the abdominal margin ; all the spots circled with white ; discal streak faint.” 
“ Female. Expands 1.4 inch. Same size as male. Upper side fuscous, slightly blue at base of both wings, the discal spot of pri- 
maries appearing through the wing; under side fawn color, marked as in male. Taken in Colorado by Mr. Mead.”
