This species is found in the Western States from Illinois to Texas. The larva feeds on goat-weed {Crotori), Subfamily Satyrin^ (Sat-y-ri'nae). The Meadow-browns or Satyrs. This subfamily includes chiefly brown butterflies whose markings consist almost entirely of eye-like spots. Some western species, however, are bright-colored. Our forms can be easily recognized by their having some of the veins of the fore wings greatly swollen at the base. The larvae are cylindrical, tapering more or less towards each end. The caudal segment is bifurcated, a character that distinguishes them from all other American butterfly.
