Ana at Seven Oaks, 5,100 feet, and up to 6,200 feet, near the mouth of 

 the South Fork. 



28. Anosia strigosa (Bates) Scudder. 



This species was seen about thistles at Seven Oaks, 5,100 feet, the 

 first week in July. At Cushenbury Springs, 4,000 feet, on the desert 

 edge of the mountains, a pair in copulation was secured on August 10, 

 1905. 



29. Chrysobia virgulti (Behr) Scudder. 



But one specimen : (^, Fish Creek, 6,500 feet, June 20, 1905. 



30. Atlides halesus (Cramer) Hiibner. 



This gorgeous species of '' T/iec/a" was encountered but once, 

 August 14, 1905, on the desert side of the mountains. It was along 

 the road leading up the steep, rocky canyon from Cushenbury Springs 

 to Cactus Flat, at about 5,500 feet altitude. The day was particularly 

 hot and glary, even for this semi-desert region. Several examples of 

 Altides were seen along the road, alighting on Chrysothamnus bushes 

 or flying among the dwarfed golden oaks. One perfect (^ was cap- 

 tured with a hat. 



31. Uranotes melinus (Hiibner) Scudder. 



This species was found in brushy places up through Lower Transi- 

 tion, and proved to be the commonest '' theclid " of the region. 

 Fish Creek, 6,500-7,000 feet, June 30-July 5, 4 d^c?, i 9 ; South 

 Fork Santa Ana, 6,200-7,000 feet, June 27-July 2, 3 d^cT ; hillside 

 near confluence of Bear Creek and Santa Ana, about 4,500 feet, one 

 example, June 12. 



32. Thecla dryope Edwards. 



One specimen : ?, South Fork Santa Ana (at mouth), 6,200 

 feet, July 2, 1906. 



33. Thecla spinetorum Boisduval. 



But two examples of this rare species were secured, both near the 

 mouth of the South Fork of the Santa Ana: a d^ July 2, 1906, at 

 6,200 feet, and a $ July 20, 1906, at 6,400 feet altitude. There 

 seems to be some confusion in regard to this species. The examples 

 figured as this species in Wright's book are different from ours and 

 are with much probability the Thecla johnsoni Skinner, described from 

 Washington. Mr. Herr took specimens of spinetoriim, or something 

 like it, on the desert side of San Jacinto Mountain several years ago. 



34. Incisalia eryphon (Boisduval) Scudder. 



One specimen : cJ*, Fish Creek, 6,500 feet, June 22, 1906 ; caught
