settlement in California, and at tlie same time contributed very consider- 

 ably by his learned writings to a more exact knowledge of these then 

 scarcely discovered regions." 



I have a large series of specimens of Leiiwnias Qui/w, about twenty- 

 hve specimens, received from Mr. W . S Wright, of San Diego, taken near 

 that place. These all agree exactly with the above description, and I have 

 very little to add to Dr. Behr's excellent diagnosis of Qiiino, beyond 

 emphasizing the italicized parts. Mr. H. C. Fall has specimens taken on 

 Mt. Roubidoux, near Riverside ; while Mr. Wright figures his augusta 



from specimens taken near San Bernardino. The types described by 

 Edwards were taken in the foothills near San Bernardino. Augusta is a 

 synonym of Quino. I\Iy specimens were coUecred mostly on March i6of 

 this year (1907). Dr. Behr's specimens were probably collected along with 

 Synchloe Cooperi, which is a spring species, at San Diego, so his description 

 refers to the spring form. 1 have not seen specimens of later generations, 

 which Mr. Wright refers to as different. Dr. J. G. Cooper, Zoologist of 

 the State Geological Survey of California, under J. D. Whitney, from 

 1S60-1864, explored different parts of California, and was at San Diego 

 1861-1862, making most of his observations and collections during March 

 and April, 1862. 



Grinnell & Grinnell, in the Journal of the New York Entomological 

 Society, March, 1907, p. 42, list Lemonias augusta from the San Bernardino 

 Mountains ; that is an error, the species is Leviofiias anicia (Doubl. & 

 Hewits.), or a very close form thereto. The specimens seem to be typical 

 anicia^ and agree exactly with Dr. Behr's comparisons in the above 

 description ; it is interesting with Cupido Hilda and Incisalia eryphon in 

 showing the close faunal relations of ihe high San Bernardino mountains 

 and the high central Sierras. It is very peculiar that W. (i. Wright does 

 not figure or describe anicia from California, as it occurs within a couple 

 of days' trip from his home, instead of giving a figure of a Colorado form 

 which is not quite typical ; he even goes so far as to say that he does not 

 know it from the " West Coast Territory," when California is the type 

 locality ! 



Lemonias Qiiino is intermediate between anicia and chalcedon, as can 

 be inferred from Dr. Behr's description. It is related to anicia by the 

 prevailing red colour, while both chaicedo?i and anicia have the entire 

 antennae yellow, including the club ; while in Quino the club is mostly
