Montis occurs in Arizona and Colorado, and by some writers is regarded as a varietal form of antonia, in which opinion they may be correct.
(4) Chlorippe leilia, Edwards, Plate XXIII, Fig. 11, ♂ (Leilia).
Butterfly.—Like antonia, this species has two extra-median eye-spots on the primaries, and thus may be distinguished from celtis. From antonia it may be separated by its larger size and the deeper reddish-brown color of the upper surfaces. Expanse, 2.10-2.50 inches.
Early Stages.—Unknown.
So far we have received this butterfly only from Arizona.
(5) Chlorippe alicia, Plate XXIII, Fig. 9, ♂; Fig. 10, ♁ (Alicia).
Butterfly.—Very bright fawn at the base of the wings, shading into pale buff outwardly. There is but one eye-spot on the primaries. The six eye-spots on the secondaries are black and very conspicuous. The marginal bands are darker and heavier than in any other species of the genus. Expanse, ♂, 2.00 inches; ♁, 2.50 inches.
The early stages are only partially known.
Alicia ranges through the Gulf States from Florida to Texas.
