68 ENTOMOLOGICAL NEWS. [Feb., '09 



20. Pyrameis caryae Hbn. Noted at Echo Lake, July, 1907. 



21. Pyrameis cardui Linn. Noted at Echo Lake, July, 1907. 



22. Junonia coenia Hbn. A common insect of the lower levels. 



23. Limenitis lorquini Bdv. Quite common, especially in the valley. 



24. Heterochroa bredowii Hbn. Rather abundant. 



25. Coenonympha brenda Edw. Specimens from Shasta County cor- 

 respond to brenda, as illustrated in Wright's book, but do not agree so 

 well with Edwards' description of the species. Common in August in 

 grassy localities in the valley. 



26. Satyrus ariane Bdv. Common in July about wooded hillsides. 

 There is much variation in my series of the species, but they all seem 

 referable to ariane. 



27. Satyrus silvestris Edw. Commoner perhaps than the preceding 

 species and usually occurring at higher elevations. Silvestris has a 

 curious habit of alighting on pine trunks, out of the reach of a net. 



28. Chionobas nevadcnsis Feld. This is the same as Boisduval's 

 californica, which he reports as occurring on high mountains at the 

 snow line. I took nevadcnsis in the Upper Canadian and in the Hud- 

 sonian Zone about Echo Lake at the end of July in 1902, when it was 

 not uncommon. No trace of it was seen in 1907, however. It is not an 

 easy insect to capture, and it is with difficulty that it can be "scooped 

 off" the boulders on which it sits, all on the alert. 



29. Thecla grunus Bdv. Common, especially about Quercus chryso- 

 lepis. Taken in the Canadian Zone, but more plentiful at lower levels. 



30. Thecla halesus Cram. This gorgeous insect was taken only twice ; 

 in the valley region in June, 1903. It is essentially a southern species, 

 but is probably well established in Shasta County, where its food 

 plant mistletoe occurs on the black oak. 



31. Thecla m-album Bd. & Lee. A single worn female, June, 1903. 

 Boisduval in his "Lepidopteres de la Californie" reports it from the 

 extreme southern portion of California. 



32. Thecla melinus Hbn. Rather rare; in the valley. 



33. Thecla californica Edw. Quite plentiful along the stream mar- 

 gins. A number of pupae shells girdled to the underside of stones in 

 the vicinity of willows probably belonged to this species. 



34. Thecla saepium Bdv. A very common insect along the Sacra- 

 mento River in July, where it frequents the blossoms of a species of 

 Clematis. 



35. Thecla nelsoni Bdv. Not very plentiful and coming out rather 

 early in summer. In the valley in June. 



36. Thecla iroides Bdv. Common and widespread. 



37. Thecla eryphon Bdv. But two specimens taken ; one rather fresh, 

 female, in the pine woods in early July, 1903, and a faded female cap- 

 tured on alpine hemlock, Echo Lake, July 12, 1907. This insect also 

 occurs in southern California. I have seen a specimen from Monterey 

 and have taken it on Mt. Tamalpais in Marin County.
