m 



Habrodias gnimcs, Boisd. — I have collected this species commonly 

 in fall in the mountains, flying about its food-plant,. Qiiercus ch?'ysolepis, 

 Lieb. 



Atlides halesus, Cramer. — Very rare. I have only seen one speci- 

 men from this locality. The larva feeds on Phoradejidron vil/osum, Nutt., 

 with which Qicerais is badly parasitized. 



Urmiotes melhius, Hubn. — Appears in late June, and is then 

 abundant, flying about the flowers of Brassica, Radix and others. The 

 larva lives on the flower-buds of Malva. 



Thecla sapiuni^ Boisd. — Scarce, several specimens have been taken 

 in the mountains in September. 



Ificisalia iroides, Boisd. — I have not examined specimens of this 

 species closely, but I have seen several specimens collected at Alma, which 

 I would consider as belonging to this species. 



Callophrys diimetoriun^ Boisd. ( = ^>^/^, Edw., =viridis,Yj&\\\). — 

 Not rare in the foothills from April to May. The larva feeds on the buds 

 of Hosackia. 



TJiarsalea arota, Boisd. — Arota flies in the mountains in late June 

 about the flowers of Ceanothiis. The larva feeds on Ribes. 



Gceides xafithoides, Boisd. — Sparingly found in June and July on the 

 blossoms of Brassica. 



Gceides editha, Mead. — Occasionally seen, but not at all common. 

 Gceides gorgoji, Boisd. — Rather common in the mountains in the 

 vicinity of its food-plant, Eriogonutn. The habits of the larva are quite 

 similar to those of Chrysobia 7normo. The imagoes emerge, as a rule, in 

 early June, and the females are quite scarce. 



Epideynia heiloides, Boisd. — Quite common everywhere. The 

 food-plant is Polygonum avicuiare and others of that genus. 



Cupido ica?'iodes, Boisd. — Not rare in early spring in the foothills, 

 flying about Lupinus^ upon which the larva feeds. 



No7niades a?itiacis, Boisd., var. Be/irii, Edw. — Usually not uncom- 

 mon in the valley, flying from May to November. The food-plant is 

 Liipiniis of several species. 



Philotes sono?'e?isis, Feld. — This species I have not met with myself, 

 but Mr. Grundel has taken two at Alma, both in February. W. G. 

 Wright (Butt. West Coast) gives Gilroy, in this county, as the extent of 

 its northern range, and I believe it has been collected there by earlier 

 collectors.
