There are other varietal forms, one of which, named _boöpis_ by Behr, is commonly found on the Pacific coast in northern California, Oregon, and Washington, and the ocelli, while prominent on the upper side of the wings, are almost obsolete below. _Early Stages._--The early stages of _S. alope_ (typical form) and its variety _nephele_ have been well described by several authors. The caterpillar feeds on grasses. There is, however, a fine field for the entomologist to work out the causes of the rather remarkable variation to which the species is subject. (3) =Satyrus gabbi=, Edwards, Plate XXVI, Fig. 17, ♀, _under side_ (Gabb's Satyr). _Butterfly._--The male is dark reddish-brown, the female pale fawn. The ocelli in both sexes are very well developed on both sides of the wings. The anal series on the secondaries consists of three spots, of which the one in the middle is always large. Expanse, 2.25 inches. _Early Stages._--Unknown. Gabb's Satyr is found in Oregon and Utah. (4) =Satyrus meadi=, Plate XXVI, Fig. 13, ♀; Fig. 14, ♂, _under side_ (Mead's Satyr). _Butterfly._--This well-marked species is comparatively small, and may easily be distinguished from all others by the bright red on the limbal area above and on the middle area of the primaries below. Expanse, 1.60-1.75 inch. _Early Stages._--These have been described and figured by Edwards in "The Butterflies of North America," vol. iii. The caterpillar is green, marked by paler stripes and lozenge-shaped spots of pale green on the side. The chrysalis is pale green. The egg is pale saffron. The caterpillars feed on grass. Mead's Satyr ranges through Colorado, Montana, Utah, and Arizona. (5) =Satyrus paulus=, Edwards, Plate XXVI, Fig. 19, ♂, _under side_ (The Small Wood-nymph). _Butterfly._--A little smaller than _S. nephele_, dark brown above in both sexes, the fore wings always with two pupilate ocelli, one near the apex, the other near the inner angle, most conspicuously developed in the female. The secondaries have one or two spots of the same kind near the anal angle. On the under side the wings are pale reddish-brown, abundantly marked by transverse striæ. The primaries are marked with gray at the apex and on the outer margin, and have a submarginal and submedian transverse ferruginous line, between which the ocelli are located. The secondaries are crossed by a broad darker median band defined inwardly and outwardly by narrow dark lines. The outer third is pale gray, mottled with darker spots and lines, and traversed by a dark ferruginous submarginal line. Expanse, 1.75-2.00 inches. _Early Stages._--Unknown. _Paulus_ occurs in California and Nevada. It has been regarded as a variety of _sthenele_ by some writers; but I am convinced of its distinctness, though there is considerable resemblance.
