Alpheus
Butterfly.--This little species is nearer P. hayhursti than any of the others we have described, but may at once be recognized and discriminated by the checkered margins and white tip of the fore wing and the linear shape of the spots composing the submarginal and median bands on the upper side of this wing. The hind wings on the under side are marked with a number of light spots arranged in marginal and median bands.
Early Stages.--Unknown.
Alpheus occurs in Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico.
There are four other species of the genus found in our fauna.
