ANTHOCHARIS II. 



Female. — Exj)aiKls from 1.1 to 1.5 iiicli. 



Upper side bright lemon-yellow, the orange patch as large as in the male, but 

 paler, replaced by yellow next the serrated apical boi'der ; on the inner side of 

 this yellow gromid a line of black scales; the discal bar as in the male ; fringes 

 yellow ; under side yellow, and marked as in the male. 



This species was first made known by Mr. Mead, who took twenty-two ex- 

 amples, 10^, 129, 10th to 12th June, 1871, in Colorado, at high elevations, in 

 the pine Avoods near Fairplay, South Park, and on Beaver Creek. I have re- 

 ceived a few others from parts of Colorado and New Mexico, and a single male 

 from Montana.
