In the circle on the fore wing are three or four eye-spots with a blue pupil and a yellow iris; in the circle on the hind wing are six eye-spots which are oblong and have the pupil oval. Ex- panse, inch. Early Stages.— These have been fully described, and are not unlike those of other species of the genus. The caterpillar feeds on grasses. The insect ranges from New Jersey to the Gulf of Mexico as far west as Texas.

Butterfly.—Ensily distinguished from other species in our fauna by the presence of two more or less perfectly developed ocelli on the upper side of the fore wing and also of the hind wing. Expanse, inch. Early Stages.—This is a rather common butterfly, the larval stages of which have been fully described by various authors. The egg is even taller in proportion to its breadth than that of N. gemma, which it otherwise closely resembles in outline and sculpturing. The caterpillar is pale brown, conformed in gen- eral form to that of other species of the genus, but somewhat stouter. It feeds on grasses. The chrysalis is pale brown, mottled v/ith darker brown. The insect ranges through Canada and the United States to Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas, (5) Neonympha mitchelli, French, Plate XXV, Fig. 6, $, under side (Mitchell's Satyr).
