6. A. Adijqje similis, sed alae posticae serie ocellornm. inter 

 lunulas marginales fasciamque mediam destitutae. Maculae mai> 

 ginales certe argenteae, reliquae pruina quadam metallica obductae. 

 Umbra radicalis ultra fasciam macularem mediam porrecta. 



Size of A. Niohe — coloration of the upper side, orange-brown ; 

 markings as usual ; underside similar to No. 1, but much darker; 

 and the maculae where they have no silver, dark-yellow ; and the 

 saturated coloration of the radical half of the hind winii extended 

 beyond the middle fascia. 



From the Sierra Nevada. 



7. A. Adippe similis, sed alae posticae serie ocellornm inter 

 lunulas marginales fasciamque mediam destitutae. Alae posti- 

 cae subtus pallide ferrugineae, fasciae maculares ordinariae vix 

 pallidiores nunquam argenteae. 



Size more considerable ; about that of the A. Adippe. Upper 

 side of this species characterized by the greater part of the ordi- 

 nary marks on the hind wing wanting, so that they a})pear almost 

 covered by the fiery brown that forms the ground ; markings of the 

 under side are very indistinct ; even the black bordering on the 

 radical side of the maculae common to all species of this group, is 

 here scarcely perceptible. 



8. A. Adippe similis sed alae posticae serie ocellornm inter 

 lunulas marginales fasciamque mediam destitutae. Alae posticae 

 subtus ferruginete, fasciae maculares opacae pallidae marginales 

 lunulatae. Zerene, Boisd V 



Size even more considerable than that of the preceding ; under 

 side of the hind wings of a deep brown, approaching violet, on the 

 more diluted spots ; the maculae pale brown and well Jjordered with 

 black, especially on the radical side. 



This species is found in several localities of the Sierra Nevada. 



9. ^4. Adippe similis, sed alae posticae subtus serie ocellorura 

 inter maculas marginales fasciamque mediam destitutae. Alae 

 posticae subtus cinnamomeae a fascia media usque ad marginem 

 pallide ferruginae maculae gilvescentes opacae, marginales trique- 

 trae. 



Size like the preceding ; radical side of the maciilae on the under 

 side in a very decided manner bordered by deep black. 



This species was found by Mr. Lorquin on the road between 

 Nevada City and Bear Valley. 



All these species, related as they are amongst themselves and 

 to exotic species, are undeniably distinct. They inliabit different
