A NEW BUTTERFLY FROM UTAH

Extract

Melitea Maria, n. sp.—Male: Expands 1½ inches. Upper side. Primaries. The outer margin of the wing has along its edge about eight brick-red spots; internal to these is another row of yellow spots, separated from the former by a very small space. Next comes a row of yellow spots, the first four having an outward curve, and the lower three an inward curve. There then comes a row of quadrate brick-red spots, nearly parallel to the preceding yellow row. At the end of the cell are three yellow quadrate spots. The cell has in it two comparatively large red spots, outlined with black, and having a yellow patch between them and another toward the base. There is also a quadrate yellow spot with concave sides in the space below the third median nerve. The secondaries are marked in a similar manner.
