LEl’IDOPTERA. 
Expands 2 inches or more. 
Tliis butterfly is figured in Dr. Boisduval’s Jlistoire des 
LSpidopteres de VAmerique , under the name of Satyrus 
Canthm ; but as it does not agree with the descriptions of the 
Canthus of Linnaeus and of Fabricius, in both of which there 
are no eye-spots on the upper side of the wings, I have 
thought 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 meadows of the northwestern parts of 
this State. 
Hipparchia Eurytris, Fab. Eurytris Butterfly. (Fig. 130.) 
Dark brown above, paler beneath, with two longitudinal 
dusky stripes ; on the upper 
side of the wings are two 
black eye-spots, enclosed in 
an ochre-yellow ring, with 
two lead-colored dots in the 
centre of each spot ; on the 
hind wings there is another 
smaller spot, with a lead-col- 
ored centre, near the hinder angle ; all these spots are found 
on the under side of the wings, and between them are in- 
terposed the same number of small lead-colored spots. 
Expands 1 inch and G or 7 tenths.

II :pparchla Nephele. 
This butterfly is found 
in June and July among 
bushes and in the paths 
of woods, seeking the 
shade rather than the 
sunshine. The caterpil- 
lar resembles that of the 
Alope butterfly, but the 
chrysalis is shorter, with 
the head obtuse.
