. The butterfly book : a popular guide to a knowledge of the butterflies of North America. Butterflies. / Genus CEneis in the preceding species, and the transverse lines are more dis- tinctly marked. Expanse, inches. Early Stages. —These have been most beautifully delineated by Edwards in thethird volumeof "The Butterflies of North ; (3) CEneis macouni, Edwards, Plate XXVII, Fig. }, 3 (Macoun's Arctic). Butterfly.—Thxs species is closely allied to the two foregoing, but may be distinguished by the broad median band of dark brown traversing the under side of the hind wings, as well as by other peculiarities of marking. It lacks the bar of raised scales which is found in the male sex about the lower part of the cell of the fore wing in most of the species of the genus. It has been found thus far only on the north shore of Lake Su- perior and at the eastern base of the Rocky Mountains in the territory of Alberta. Ex- panse, inches. Early Stages. — For a know- ledge of these in all their minute details the reader is again referred to the pages of the indefatigable Edwards. (4) CEneis chryxus, West- wood, Plate XXVll, Fig. 10, 6 (The Chryxus Butterfly). Butterfly.—This species is widely distributed, being found in Colorado, British Columbia, and the vicinity of Hudson Bay. It is distinguished from other species by the darker brown color, which covers the basal and median areas of both the fore and hind wings, leaving a broad band of lighter brown on the outer margin. On the under side the wings are beautifully mottled with white and dark brown. CEneis calais, Scudder, is prob- ably only a form of chryxus, which is somewhat lighter in color on the base of the wings. Expanse, inch. Early Stages.—Jh& life-history is fully recorded in the pages of Edwards. 221. Fig. 123.— Caterpillars of CEneis macouni (Riley)..
