Butterflies -- North America
The species ranges from the latitude of New Jersey southward, throughout
the southern half of the Mississippi Valley to Mexico and Central
America.
(7) =Neonympha rubricata=, Edwards, Plate XXV, Fig. 3, ♂ (The Red Satyr).
_Butterfly._--Easily distinguished by its much redder color from all its
congeners, among which it has its closest ally in _N. eurytus_. It has
an eye-spot near the apex of the fore wing, and one near the anal angle
of the hind wing. The basal area of the primaries beneath is bright
reddish; the secondaries on this side are gray, crossed by two
transverse lines as in the preceding species, and a double submarginal
line. On the fore wings the double submarginal line is repeated, and in
addition there is another line which runs upward from just before the
inner angle to the costa, at about one third of its length from the
apex. The eye-spots of the upper side reappear below, and in addition
there is another near the outer angle of the secondaries, and a few
silvery well-defined ocelli between the two on the secondaries.
_Early Stages._--Unknown.
The Red Satyr is found in Texas, Arizona, Mexico, and Central America.
