margin, another series of seven indistinct spots. Secondaries : a di-cal bar 

 and two spots, one wiihin the cell, the other above it ; three transverse macu- 

 late bands ; the first composed of eight large rounded black spots, and bent 

 twice at right angles, the second of smaller, and sagittiform, and in common 

 with the third, which is almost marginal, and very indistinct, runs parallel 

 wiih the border; all these markings are encircled with white, and the seventh 

 spot of the first and second rows are sometimes confluent. Expanse 1-25 1-35 

 inches. 



Body black above, with some bluish hairs ; beneath grayish ; antennae black 

 with white annulations, lower part of club whitish. 



Hab. California. (Coll. Tryon Reakirt.) 



20. Lyc^ena tehama, nov. sp. 



Hale. Upper surface, brownish diluted with white, glossed with shining 

 greenish blue, especially on the basal portions, and traversed by darker lined 

 veins. 



A black discal bar on the primaries; secondaries have a marginal series of 

 rounded brown spots. Fringe white; brownish at the tip of the fore wings, 

 and cut with black at the ends of hind wings' veins. 



Underneath : primaries pale brownish griseous ; a discal arc, a small double 

 spot within the cell at one- third the distince from the arc to t^ie base, a sinu- 

 ate transverse median row, and an indistinct marginal row of spots, followed 

 by a series of plainer lunules, all edged with white. 



Basal half of secondaries dark brownish-gray, with a blue tinge at the base ; 

 within this are three small black spots, all largely encircled with white, and 

 placed transversely to the base, and a large white patch at the end of the 

 cell 



Posterior portion clear grayish white, edged terminally with a narrow line, 

 and contains three transverse rows of dark spots ; of these the interior are 

 rounded and much curved ; the central are lunulated, and the marginal 

 rounded ; the third from the anal margin of the two outer rows respectively 

 are much enlarged, and sometimes embrace an intermediate, yellowish-brown 

 lunule Expanse 1-05 1-13 inches. 



Body clothed with grayish hue hairs above, ash-colored below; antennae 

 black, anuulated with white; club black above, ferruginous below. 



Hah. California. (Coll. Tryon Reakirt.) 



Var. (/, male ; the secondaries present a submarginal row of connected brown 

 lunules above the marginal spots ; and the lustrous tinge is restricted to the 

 basal area ; expanse 1-20 inches. 



Hab. Los Angeles, Cal. (Coll. Tryon Reakirt.) 



This is i he Pacific representative of L. Rustica Edwards, of the Rocky Moun- 

 tains ; the two are very closely related.* 



21. Brenthis Moiirisii, nov. sp. 



Upper surface uniform orange-brown ; hind margin of both wings edged by 

 a fine black line, always dilated at the ends of the veins, and which is preceded 

 by a submarginal row of very angular black limes; in the female the spices 

 enclosed between the two lines is pale tawny ; primaries haye a nearly straight 

 black discal bar, and within the cell are three transverse spots, of which the 

 central is the shortest ; below the cell a broad black stripe runs from the 

 origin of the first median veinlet, downward half the width of the interspace, 

 and is then bent abruptly to the base, in the shades of which it becomes 

 merged and lost. Beyond the cell, there is a mesial zigzag band, and a trans- 

 verse row of rounded black spots, usually confluent, with the marginal lunes 

 on the apex ; a short black bar rises from the costa behind these.
