LEPIDOPTERA. 
Expands 2 inches or more. 
This butterfly is flgured in Dr. Boisduval’s Hlstoire des 
Lepido2:)te7'es de VAmerique^ under the name of Saiyrm 
Canilms ; but as it does not agree with the descriptions of the 
Canthus of Linnseus and of Fabricius, in both of wdiich there 
are no eye-spots on the upper side of the wings, I have 
til ought it entitled to a new- name, and am happy to dedicate 
it to one of the most accomplished entomologists now living. 
This delicate butterfly delights in open and elevated situa¬ 
tions, and is found in July on the sides of the highest hills, 
and in the mountain meadow’s of the northw’estern parts of 
this State.
