218 STUDIES IN THE GENUS THANAOS 



amples, however these also are wanting, unless next inner margin, and the 

 whole limb is thinly white, through which runs a submarginal series of brown 

 patches ; in all cases there are many white scales over apical area. Second- 

 aries immaculate, except for a few whitish points along posterior part of 

 hind margin, which sometimes are developed into a white macular band. 

 Body above black-brown, thorax and abdomen beneath grey-brown; legs 

 dark brown, with ferruginous hairs on under side; palpi dark brown, the 

 tips of the hairs whitish; antennae black, on under side slightly annulated 

 white; club black above, ferruginous below and at tip. From six males. 

 This species is allied to tristis Bd." 



Type locality.— Mt. Graham, Arizona (Morrison). 



All my specimens are from Arizona, most of them from the type 

 locality. The Mexican localities mentioned in the Biologia are 

 Pinal and Puebla. Godman and Salvin also had Arizona material 

 taken by Morrison.'' A single pair recently received are from Chim- 

 ney Gulch, Golden, Colorado, VI, (Oslar).

"Wings dark fuscous; the superiors with a central spot, transverse, 

 whitish; the inferiors with a white border. It has the shape and size of 

 juvenalis. Wings dark brown, with the border of the inferiors white. The 

 superiors with a few darker undulations, as in the allied species and present- 

 ing on the middle a small whitish spot, followed by a curved line of six simi- 

 lar points, separated into two groups, the one of four, near the edge, the 

 other of two, below the median nervure. The under side paler than the 

 upper. In this species, as in juvenalis, the small points are placed on some 

 obscure nervures. From California." (Translation of original descrip-

 Genitalia from specimens I have examined agree with the figures 

 of the genitalia figured by Scudder and Burgess and Godman and 

 Salvin. Funeralis is such a common species in California that I
