(35) Thecla dumetorum, Boisduval, Plate XXX, Fig. 1, ♂; Fig. 2, ♂, under side (The Green White-spotted Hair-streak).
Butterfly.—Dark fawn-color above, sometimes tinged externally with reddish. On the under side both wings are green, the primaries having a short straight band of white spots on the outer third, and the secondaries a small white spot on the costa beyond the middle, and two or three conspicuous white spots near the anal angle. Expanse, 1.10 inch.
Early Stages.—The eggs are laid on the unopened flower-heads of Hosackia argophylla. This is all we know of the life-history.
The species ranges from Oregon and California eastward as far as Colorado.

Butterfly.—The wings brown, glossed with bright blue above; on the under side pale fawn, with a band of pale-red spots on both wings about the middle, and a few similar spots on the outer and inner margins of the hind wings. Expanse, .75 inch.

It ranges from Quebec to southern New Jersey, and westward to West Virginia, and has been taken on Mount Graham, in Arizona. It appears in early spring. It is still rare in collections.
