Plate XIV — Opis is Fig. 8

Butterfly.--This species, which apparently belongs to the Eurynome-group, appears by the location of its markings to be closely related to eurynome, but on the upper side the wings of both the male and female are more heavily obscured with fuscous at the base; the dark markings are heavier than in eurynome, and in both sexes it is smaller in size, being the smallest of all the species of the genus thus far found in North America. The spots on the under side of the wings are none of them silvered. Expanse, male, 1.50 inch; female, 1.60 inch.

Early Stages.--Nothing is known of these.

The types came from Bald Mountain, in the Caribou mining district of British Columbia.
