This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1906 Excerpt: ...there must be some other food-plant. Like the larvae of Parnassius, the Argynnids are nocturnal, and thus the difficulty of observing them is increased, and there is yet much to learn about them. Sex-marks: The lappets, and the abdomens; the tip of the male body is somewhat knobbed, and has a sort of fringe on upperside as is well shown on Plate XIII, Fig. 115, a. The body of the female is larger and tapers to a point. The female is always paler than the male, except those species the females of which are black. 106. Argynnis Nokomis. No figure. Nokomis is a very large butterfly from Arizona; it is of the same group as Leto, and might easily be mistaken for Leto; the female is of the black kind, same as Leto, there being no normalcolored female. The male is somewhat redder on the upper side than Leto, and the upper side of the female is rather brown than black. 107. Argynnis Nitocris. No figure. Nitocris is another of the Arizona Argynnids that have black females; it is also of the Leto type, similar to Nokomis, but with stronger and more contrasting colors, the upper side of the female being blackish rather than brownish. All of these three species, Nokomis, Nitocris, and Leto, are so much alike that if you have only one specimen, you may be puzzled to decide which one of the three it is. 11o. Argynnis Leto. Plate XII; Figures no, a, b, c. Fig. no, Male, Sisson, Cal., July 20, 1891; Author. a, Male, underside, Mt. Shasta, July, 1891; Author. b, Female, Portland, Oregon, Aug. 1, 1890; Author. c, Female, underside, Portland, Oregon, Aug. 1, 1890; Author. Leto has no normal female but all the females are like the one here shown, black, or more strictly, brown-black, with sub-marginal band of bright golden-yellow. The question whether there ever were any norma...
