GENUS PAMPHILA 243 



point of difference is the color of the spots on hind wing, white in 

 Sylvanoides, and yellowish in Columbia ; the shape of the curve 

 of the spots is the same. 



Columbia is very abundant on the mountains of Southern Cali- 

 fornia, flying abundantly on the scantily-forested crests and 

 heights, and represents the more northern species, Sylvanoides, 

 although Sylvanoides itself is present, but Columbia does not go 

 far north. 



427. Pamphila Rhesus.

 This is a Mexican species, which comes over the line into Ari-

 Carus is another Mexican butterfly, which is occasionally seen

 This and the next, Agricola, are in some respects similar, but

 ors are more uneven, being both lighter and darker, or contrasty ;

 patch being strong in Nemorum and nearly absent in Agricola. 

 Nemorum is a wide flyer, and covers practically the whole coast.
