The larger number of specimens examined are males and 

 the above descriptions refer to males only, the females not pre- 

 senting any discoverable differences except in size. The males 

 differ in expanse from 14 mm. to 25 mm., the smallest speci- 

 mens being from Pasadena, Los Angeles and Havilah, Califor- 

 . nia, and from Las Vegas, Nevada. The largest came from 

 Prove, Utah. The specimens taken in July are all large and are 

 the only ones having fulvous on the underside of the primaries. 

 These are evidently a second brood, the first appearing in May. 



Enoptes may be taken as the species, having been described 

 previous to the other two. The black border varies consider- 

 ably in width, being from i mm. to 2 mm. One specimen from 

 Fort Klamath, Oregon, has the border 3 mm. in width. The 

 amount of orange on the underside of secondaries varies con- 

 siderably and in some specimens it is entirely absent. Variety
