Florida Blue
Butterfly.--Larger than the preceding species, on the upper side resembling L. isola; but the blue of the male is not lilac, but bright purplish, and the female is much darker. On the under side a striking distinction is found in the absence on the fore wing of the postmedian band of large dark spots so conspicuous in L. isola. Expanse, .85 inch.
Early Stages.--We have no information as to these.
The insect occurs in Florida and throughout the Antilles and Central America.
