But of these Grapta j-album, M. c&souia, P. cresphontes, /*. 

 philenor and E. odora were undoubtedly travel-worn wanderers. 

 And beside these I have taken nearly fifty species which are yet 

 unnamed, mostly for the reason that they are too rare to risk 

 sending to be named. The field is by no means exhausted, for 

 each year adds species not found here before.

RHOPALOCERA OF RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA. 



BY F. D. TWOGOOD. 



In the May number of the NEWS, Mr. Albright gives a par- 

 tial list of the Lepidoptera taken at Santa Monica and vicinity. I 

 find it varies in many respects from the list taken here, especially 

 the butterflies. Santa Monica is on the coast and Riverside 

 fifty miles inland in a narrow valley with mountains on all sido. 



Within a radius of five miles of Riverside, which includes a 

 small mountain (Rubidoux, 1800 feet above sea level and 1000 

 feet above Mtin Street), the river bottoms and Riverside proper
