In the Museum under this species is also a fine series bred from 

 Querais agrifolia in Alameda Co., California, by Mr. A. Koebele, 

 which differs from Walsingham's type and description in being 

 mottled more strongly and with blacker scales. I leave these speci- 

 mens under this species with some hesitation, f considering these dif- 

 ferences and the different locality, since they exhibit some variations 

 and possess the general markings of the type.
