 Edwards says " $ ."

This I take to be a synonyn of kodiak.

lt %. — The primaries on the upper side are bright ochraeeous, with the outer 

 margins and the costa shading into grey. A whitish subapical band, very poorly 

 defined, extends beyond the cell from below the subcostals to the second median 

 nervule, as in C. kodiak Edw. and ('. ampelos Edw. The secondaries on the upper 

 side are dark grey, very slightly tinged with ochraeeous, traversed by an obscure 

 whitish irregular median baud, interrupted between the first and second median 

 nervules. On the under side the primaries are dark ochraeeous (in one exam- 

 ple deep chestnut-brown), fading at the apex and on the outer margins into pale 

 cinereous. The white band indistinctly seen on the upper side is reproduced on 

 this side, sharply defined and solidly white. A small dark-pupiled ocellus is 

 located near the outer margin, between the upper and lower radials. The 

 secondaries on the lower side are dark fuliginous, passing into pale cinereous on 

 the outer margin, with the median band of white clearly and sharply defined. 

 A submarginal series of ocelli is faintly indicated. The female is like the male, 

 but larger, and throughout paler in color on both sides of the wings. Expanse 

 % 30 mm. ; <? 32 mm." 



" This form in the arrangement of the markings comes nearest C. 

 kodiak, with the type of which I have carefully compared it ; but 

 in color is nearer C. inornata. It may be a distinct species. Two

I saw the specimens of this variety before Dr. Holland described 

 them, and I consider them only color varieties of kodiak.

"Male : — Expands 1.3 inch. Upper side bright, glossy ochraeeous ; immaculate ; 

 fringes concolored. Under side nearly same shade, paler and changing to buff at 

 apex of primaries; on secondaries slightly paler at outer angle, and elsewhere 

 much powdered with brown atoms; a pale straight ray from costal edge of pri- 

 maries nearly crosses the wing; secondaries have a similar ray, tortuous, inter- 

 rupted in the upper median interspaces, not quite reaching abdominal margin : 

 both wings immaculate. Body fuscous, covered with ochraeeous hairs; beneath 

 yellowish and grey; palpi grey; antennae annulated black and white, club 

 black, tip ferruginous." 



Female :--Same size, slightly paler; otherwise like male. 



" From 1 $ , 1 9 . Oregon. Allied to inornata Edw." 

 Mr. Edwards and Dr. Fletcher state that they never saw this 

 species with an ocellus. I have examined my specimens and have
