Western Tailed Blue
Butterfly.--Closely resembling L. comyntas, of which it may be only a slightly modified Western form. Until the test of breeding has been applied we cannot be sure of this. The figures in the plate give a very good representation of the upper side of the wings of this species.
Early Stages.--But little has been found out concerning these.
It ranges from the eastern foot-hills of the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific in British America and the northern tier of Western States.
