308 AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 



C. pamphilus Linn.. Syst. Nat,, Ed. x, 472, 1758. 



0. pamphiloides Reakirt, Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil., 6, 146, 1866. 



"In a note below I have appended a description of the species of 

 Ccenonympha, referred to by Dr. Behr in his Notes on Californian 

 Satyrides, and concerning which, he remarks: 'There exists a 

 second Ccenoinjinpha in some seqnested valleys of the Northern 

 Siena that approaches in coloration the European C. pamphilus. I 

 have only seen one pair of this species, and not possessing it, I can- 

 not give a diagnosis. It may be identical with C. inornata Edw., 

 or C. ochracea Edw., or some northern species.' " 



" Upper surface very similar to pamphilus ; the cilia;, however, are considerably 

 longer. Under surface of the primaries as in pamphilus; secondaries mottled 

 greenish brown from the base to the middle, abruptly terminated by a very 

 irregular margin, adjoining which, on upper half, from the costa, a yellowish 

 grey patch ; hinder half of wings of same color as the basal portion, but very 

 much diluted in tone; a submarginal row of six white spots, each encircled by a 

 brownish green ring, all minute but still very distinct. Expanse 1.13-1.18 inch. 



" Hub. — California (coll. Tryon Reakirt)." 



The unique type of this is a female in the collection of Dr. 

 Strecker. Dr. Strecker in his Synonymical Catalogue, published 

 in 1878, says: "I possess Reakirt's original type from California, 

 which differs in nowise from the ordinary European form." I have 

 in my collection two specimens without locality labels; two with 

 Cala. on the pins. I know nothing of these specimens, as I have 

 never received pamphilus from California. It is quite possible that 

 Reakirt made a mistake in thinking his specimen came from Cali- 

 fornia, as such mistakes were common in those days, and little atten- 

 tion was paid to data. Time will settle this question, as if pamphi- 

 lus is really found in California, we can take it for granted that 

 Reakirt did not make a mistake, except as to the name of the 

 species. 



Pamphilus is close to ochracea Edw. but smaller; the inner half 

 of under side of secondaries is darker (olive green), and the spots 

 the merest white or silvery pin points. 



What Dr. W. J. Holland figures in his Butterfly Book as pam- 

 philoides is the spotted form of ochracea, which Mr. Edwards called 

 brenda. The types of the latter are in Dr. Strecker's collection. 



C. haydenii Edw., U. S. Geog. Surv. of Montana, etc. F. V. Haydcn, for 



1871 (1872). 



"Male: — Expanse 1.6 inch. Upper side fuscous, immaculate; under side a 



shade paler, much irrorated with gray scales; primaries immaculate; secondaries 



have a complete series of black ocelli along the edge of hind margin, one in
