DESCRIPTION OF A NEW ANTHOCHARIS. 



BY W. G. WRIGHT, SAN BERNARDINO, CAL. 



A. Flora, n. sp. 



^, expanse i. 40-1. 75. White. Forewings blackish at base; many 

 black scales along costa ; bar broad, at costa reaching inwards, and at 

 the middle with an angle outwards into the orange, with a broadening, 

 vaguely-edged stripe connecting it to the margin near inner angle ; orange 

 patch very large, deep reddish coloured, the colour extending to costa 

 and also to outer margin near the angle ; apical margin black with obtuse 

 serrations inside, the lower end becoming maculate or merely of roundish 

 spots in the edge of the orange patch ; fringe white and black. 



Secondaries white, seldom faintly tinged with yellow ; base blackish ; 

 eight or nine relatively large black spots at end of nervules ; fringe white 

 with a kw black filaments at the venules. 



Under side : bar separated by a deep sinus on the outer side into two 

 ovoid spots ; the orange paler, followed by faint pink, then by pale blue 

 ground, with blackish spots along nervures. Secondaries : veins yellow ; 

 a dense marbling of black relieved by scattered yellow scales ; the pattern 

 of marginal marbling is of even-sized spots along the venules, with narrow 

 interspaces white. 



$ , expanse i. 40-1. 70. Yellow ; orange patch much smaller and a 

 little paler than in the $ ; a yellow sexual stripe, sometimes maculate, 

 next to the orange and scarcely separated from it by indefinite cloudy 

 spots ; the apical margin becoming but a series of connected blackish 

 points projecting sharply into the yellow. Hindwings yellow, with 

 marginal spots as in the $ . 



Under side : similar to the $ , but more deeply yellow.
