Palmer's Metal-mark
Butterfly.-Smaller than any of the preceding species. The ground-color of the wings is mouse-gray, spotted with white; on the under side the wings are whitish-gray, laved with pale red at the base of the fore wings. The white spots of the upper side reappear on the under side. Expanse, .75-.95 inch.
Early Stages.-These are, so far as they have been worked out by Edwards, quite similar in many respects to those of the preceding species.
The range of the species is from Utah southward to Mexico.
