From Southern-California. Taken by Dr. Smart, and in the collec- 

 tiouofthe Agricultural J)epartmeut. 



This species on the under side much resembles Bafcsti, Keakirt, 

 but wants the reticulations which ornament that species; the form of 

 all the black markings on under side of primaries is also different. On 

 the uppt-r side the surface presents much less black. It is nearest to 

 MontaiKi, of the Pacific species.

Size and form of Acadica. 



Female. — Expands 1.2 inch. Upjier side brown : primaries have a 

 dark costal and marginal border; next preceding this last the limb is 

 suffused with fulvous which fades on the disk but leaves a tint nearly

 tending to middle of hind margin, showing a large bright lunule in 

 submedian interspace; the anterior tail short, a mere point, the pos- 

 terior long, black tipped with white and edged with same color on the 

 posterior side from base nearly to the white tip; fringes next anal an- 

 gle grey, otherwise luteous. 



Under side uniform pure brown; primaries have a nearly obsolete 

 submarginal series of narrow fulvous lunules edged anteriorly by black 

 streaks; a median row of small black spots or points; a brown bar ou 

 arc. Secondaries bordered by deep orange lunules, the second from 

 anal angle nearly replaced by brown and densely covered by grey 

 scales with a narrow fulvous edge anteriorly; the third large with a 

 fuscous edge next margin, the fourth small, nearly replaccid by fuscous, 

 the fii'th and others to outer angle represented by a few fulvous scales
