Myrtis
Butterfly.--This diminutive little species may be readily recognized by the plate. The fore wings are somewhat broadly margined with dusky at the apex and along the outer margin; the hind wings on the costa are broadly and on the outer edge narrowly margined with dusky. On the under side the fore wings are blackish at the base. Expanse, .75 inch.
The only specimens of this butterfly that I have ever seen came from Arizona. The type is figured in the plate.
