182 LEPIDOPTERA. 



Eiiclaiiius (Tliorybes) jemilea Skinner, Ent. News, 4, 64. 1893. 



''Male. — Expands 1^ inches and the 9 1^ inches. Wings are a gray- 

 brown similar to E. bathyllus, yet when compared with the latter spe- 

 cies there is a marked difference in color ; yet it is almost impossible 

 to describe it in words. There is a somewhat light and grayer area in 

 the middle of the secondaries of CFniilea. Upperside. — Primaries : In 

 three specimens there is a white dot near the outer end of the discoidal 

 cell, and in two specimens there are two of these white spots ; there is 

 a crooked row of white spots running across the outer third of the 

 wing from the costa nearly to the interior margin. First come the 

 three nearly united spots, which are present in so many species ; then 

 below these and further toward the exterior margin are two others, 

 the lower one of the two points toward the tip of the wing ; then further 

 toward the base is another spot, and below this and still further toward 

 the base is a spot made up apparently of two coalesced ; below this 

 and outward, nearer the exterior margin is the last spot, which is 

 usually square in shape. In one male the coalesced spot is nearly obso- 

 lete ; the inferiors are immaculate. The wings are edged with a nar- 

 row black border, and the fringes are grayish ; some of the hairs from 

 the black border run through the fringes, from the wings, giving the 

 edge of the wings a scalloped appearance. 



" Underside. — The spots above are repeated beneath ; the wings be- 

 neath are much lighter in color, and the inferiors have two black bands 

 running across them. 



" This is a smaller species than bathyllus and is a different color ; it 

 wants the inner costal spots found in bathyllus and pylades, and leav- 

 ing out the inner costal and discal spots it has eight spots remaining, 

 and none of the allied species have this many. That it is a new spe- 

 cies is apparent to the eye, but it is one of those difficult things to 

 picture in words. From five specimens, two males and three females, 

 taken by Prof. Edw. T. Owen, at Fort Klamath, Oregon, I take plea- 

 sure in naming the species after the wife and eldest daughter of Prof. 

 Owen." 



It is possible that this may eventually prove to be the same 

 as viexicanus or nevada. 



Habitat. — Fort Klamath, Oregon. Life history unknown. 



This form or race may be distinguished from mexicanus by 

 the heavier and larger translucent spots, and the fact that it 

 has two additional spots below the three costal spots found 

 in this form and in mexicanus. 



Records. — Fort Klamath, Oregon, June 4-23 ; Yosemite, 

 California; Lundy, California, July 19th, Fort Klamath has 

 an elevation of 4150 feet.
