Plate XXX — Pheres is Fig. 37

Butterfly.--The male is pale shining blue above, with dusky borders. The female is dusky, with a little blue at the base of the wings on the same side. Below, the spots on the fore wings are strongly defined; on the hind wings they are white on a pale stone-gray ground. Expanse, 1.20 inch.

Early Stages.--We know no more of these than we do of those of the preceding species.

Pheres has nearly the same range as saepiolus.
