50 ANTHOCHARIS LANCP:OLATA. 



Secondaries marbled with fine brown lines which become almost confluent on inner halt", 

 especially at costa, where there are several irregular shaped pure white sjjots, the one nearest 

 the outer angle being the largest. 



Female resembles the male. 



Habitat. California. 



This has the reputation of being one of the rarest of the Californian butterflies; it re- 

 sembles in form and general appearance the female of our eastern A. Genutia, but is larger, 

 and the ornamentation of under surface of secondaries is different from any other American, 

 or, in fact, any species I am acquainted with. 



ANTHOCHARIS JULIA. Edwards. 

 Trans. Am. Ent. Soc, Vol. IV, p. 01. (1S72.) 



(PLATE VI, FIG. 6, J", 7, ?.) 



Male. Expands I3 inches. 



Head and body black above, yellowish beneath ; antenme blackish, club with yellow tip. 



Upper surface white; i)rimaric?, black at base; an orange apical patch, margined by a 

 blaclv band outwardly, the inner edge of which is .serrated, inner half of the orange ])atcli is 

 powdered with black atoms ; costa, from disco-cellular veins to base, blackish ; an S shaped 

 discal mark extends to the costa. 



Secondaries black at base; cilite black at termination of veins. 



Under surface white ; primaries, apical part greenish, the orange .«pot not near so vivid as 

 above ; discal mark almost divided in two at the centre ; costal margin with .some indistinct 

 markings. 



Secondaries variegated with greenish grey in a manner nearer approaching A. Genutia 

 than any other species, that is, all the marks are connected with each other and have a foliated 

 not a spotted appearance, as in A. Sara and ? var. Roakirtii : veins yellow. 



Female. Expands IJ inches. 



Upper surface lemon yellow, marked much as in male, but the orange spot does not 

 extend as for outward, being bounded exteriorly by an irregular blaekish sub-marginal line, 

 the space between which and the outer margin is yellow. 



Under surface yellow, marked as in the other sex. 



All the examples so far known are those taken by Mr. Mead in the pine forests near 

 Fairplay, Colorado, in June, 1S71, and now in Mus. Am. Ent. Soc, T. L. Mead, 

 W. H. Edwards, H. Strecker. 



This prettv species, I think, will hold its own, the variegation of under surflice of secon- 

 daries is peculiar and constant and quite diiierent from A. Sara and A, Reakirtii, notwith- 

 standing the great tendency to variation in the latter.* 



"••Sara .ind Keakirtii, I believe, are iJentical.
