— “Primaries grayish white, with a hiwn-colored shade along the internal margin,, 
especially toward the base of the wing. The anterior lines are obsolete, the posterior is brokem 
on the costa, but its course may be traced by a series of imperfect streaks, nearly to the posterior 
margin, thence about the middle of the wing it forms a veiy acute angle to the center of the 
internal margin, and is slightly dentate outwardly. There is a conspicuous discal mark, some 
streaks near the apex of the costa and others near the internal angle, blackish brown, fringe 
fawn color. Secondaries sordid white, with a blackish blotch on anal angle, and the fringes and 
margin dusky. Beneath, the wings are sordid white, shading into dusky on the costa, the primaries 
broadly so, and inclosing some blackish streaks. Antennm fawn color. Thorax brownish fawn 
color, mottled with darker shade, the collar brown-black. Abdomen sordid white, shading into 
fawn color at the base. Legs fawn color, mottled with brownish . 
“Expanse of wings, 38 mm. One S , Colorado, Coll. H. Edwards.” (Edwards in Papilio, ii, 
pp. 125, 12G, Oct., 1882.) 
This species may be easily recognized, and differs from its nearest ally, 8* exbnia, by the 
distinct linear discal mark. It has on the fore wings near the internal angle a series of brown 
slashes and a row of whitish-gray and dark slashes on the costa, near the apex, otherwise the 
Utah example is like it. The hind wings are white, with a dark spot on the internal angle; the 
wings are not dusky, nor with a whitish diffuse line such as is present in 8, eximia, A S in Mr, 
IN'euraoegen’s collection from Canyon City, Colo. (PI. VI, fig. 6), has the reddish colors of 8. eximia^ 
but it may be at once separated from it by the large linear discal mark. The fore wings are crossed 
by reddish zigzag lines. The large dark shade or blotch beyond the discal mark is present, and the- 
black slashes on the costal region and at the internal angle are well marked. The long black streak 
on the base of the wing, along the cubital vein, is present and very distinct. A S specimen from 
Ogden, Utah (U. S. Hat. Museum, PI. VI, fig. 5), is much bleached, Avithout the reddish-brown zigzag 
lines, and the fore wings are very pale silvery Avhite on the costal region; the veins are darker, the 
linear discal mark is indistinct, and beyond it is the usual dusky patch. The black stripes at the 
base of the wing extending along the cubital vein, and also along the inner edge, are distinct. The 
hind wings are white, with a dusky discoloration along the internal angle. 
Exi»ause of wings, S 41-43 mm,; length of body, S 20-21 mm. 
Geographical distribution . — A member of the Campestrian subproviuce, it is not known to 
exist either east or west of the Great Basin and Colorado Plains, 
Denver, Canyon City, Colo. (Bruce, in Heumoegen collection); Salt Lake, Utah (Edwards) f 
Ogden, Utah, June 20, 1885 (U. S. Hat. Museum), Colorado (French); State of Washington 
(Strecker). I have examined this specimen, Avhicli extends the distribution of this species to near- 
the Pacific Coast unless it occurred in a locality in the State east of the Cascade range, 
Schizura eximia (Grote).
