5 the t. p. line is distinctly crenulate and is obsolete above vein 4, 

 being indicated by a purplish blotch on costa; this to our minds is 

 without a doubt lewisi Swett, the brown terminal area mentioned in the 

 description being due to a singed condition of the type specimen; we 

 have a series from Camp Baldy and also from Loma Linda, a pair of 

 which we figure (PI. XXVII, Figs. 7, 8). The genitalia (PI. XXXII, 

 Fig. 5) are very similar to those of agyllaria. 



The second race occurs around San Diego, is still smaller (22 

 mm.), the primaries of a sulphur yellow color, the whole terminal 

 area and frequently a great portion of the wing being suffused with 

 ruddy-brown or salmon-color ; the secondaries on both sides are much 

 as in the preceding form but the primaries on under side are suffused 

 with salmon color. We propose for this race the name laetula, our 

 types (PI. XXVII, Fig. 10) being 8 $ 's and 1 $ from San Diego, 

 Calif, the dates of capture ranging from late May to early June with 

 a single specimen taken the middle of August. 



We figure what we consider to be typical specimens of all these 

 forms on Plate XXVII ; we also include figures of the $ genitalia 

 (PI. XXXII, Figs. 3-5) which on account of their comparative sim- 

 plicity do not show good points of differentiation; possibly when a 

 sufficient number of dissections can be made of each race distinguishing 

 characteristics may be noted, but we would warn against putting any 

 too great reliance on the number of spines on the Gnathos (vide Pierce, 

 Genitalia of Brit. Geom. p. XX, for terminology) as this has proved 

 variable in specimens examined which certainly belong to the same 

 form. 



Sicya pergilvaria sp. nov. (PI. XXVII, Figs. 11, 12). 



Thorax and primaries deep sulphur-yellow, the latter with the outer margin 

 less produced below the apex than in macnlaria; base of costa deep orange; 

 t. a. line practically obsolete, indicated by a purple blotch on inner margin ; t. p. 

 line fine, dark purple, oblique and subparallel to outer margin, at times slightly 

 waved in lower portion, followed by a diffuse ruddy purple shade which in some 

 instances suffuses the greater part of the subterminal and terminal areas, in 

 others is confined to the immediate vicinity of the t. p. line; in a few specimens 

 this t. p. line is almost obliterated, being indicated, as is the case of the t. a. line, 

 by a purple patch on inner margin; the inner margin between the t. a. and t. p. 

 lines is often, but not always, shaded with purple, there is a very faint dark 

 discal dot and the fringes are whitish, strongly checkered with deep purple. 

 Secondaries whitish, shaded with rosy in outer half with a faint ruddy discal dot 

 and mere traces of a curved post-median line; fringes faintly checkered with 

 purple. Beneath primaries rather even pale salmon-pink, rather deeper termin-
