Hah. Noeth America, Western States, California 1 . — Mexico, Northern Sonora 

 (Morrison). 



This species is only known to us within our region from specimens obtained by 

 Morrison in Sonora, close to our north-western frontier. According to Mr. Strecker, the 

 larva feeds on Hosaekia, a genus of leguminous plants mostly natives of western North 

 America and Mexico.

Alis violaceo-casruleis, marginibus externis fuscis, ciliis albis; posticis macula ad angulum analem, altera 

 inter ramos medianos nigris : subtus griseo-fuscis, lineolis duabus ad cellule finem et duabus submargi-

 albida, maculis duabus subcostalibus, altera cellulari fuscis albo cinctis, lineis duabus ad cellulee finem, 

 lunulis submarginalibus annulisque variis discalibus albidis, macula nigra inter ramos medianos et duabus 

 ad angulum analem omnibus argenteo ornatis. 



2 anticis dimidio apicali fuscis, posticis ad costam quoque late fuscis : subtus alis maris similibus, maculis

 Cruz ( W. H. Edwards *) ; Guatemala, central valleys (F. B. G. & 0. S.) 9 San Geronimo 

 (Champion) ; Costa Rica (Van Patten*), San Francisco, Cache, Irazu (Rogers). 



The conspicuous band of black spots on the primaries beneath renders this species 

 easily distinguished from all others within our region. 



L. isola was described by Reakirt from specimens obtained by Mr. W. H. Edwards 

 near Vera Cruz in Mexico, and it has since been traced over a wide area from Kansas 

 in the north to Costa Rica in the south ; but throughout our region it seems confined to 

 the more elevated districts lying at between 4000 and 5000 feet above the level of the 

 sea and upwards. 



A male from Cordova and a female from Jalapa are figured. 



5. LycsBna gozora.

Alis lsetissime cseruleis, margine externo in anticis late, in posticis angustissime, nigris; anticis plaga discali 

 albida ; posticis medialiter ad angulum apicalem quoque albis, ciliis albis : subtus albis, punctis submar- 

 ginalibus et linea lunulata submarginali fuscis, punctis discalibus, in anticis linea arcuata, in posticis linea 

 valde irregular! positis, nigricantibus, lineola ad ceUularum fines fusca ; posticis puncto subcostal! altera
