segments. The lower lateral margin of the third segment bisinuate; the dorsal 
surface evenly rounded to the furrow. ‘The apical teeth rather obtuse, short, broadly 
triangular; the emargination between the middle ones triangular and narrower than 
the emargination between the middle ones and the lateral ones, which is semicircular. 
Apical furrow distinct, the pits somewhat confluent, about eight in number. Blue 
with some green reflections; the antennz beyond the fourth joint and the tarsi 
brownish-black. ‘The insect is almost nude. Wings slightly dusky, brownish; 
venation black. 
Type locality: Rifle, Colo. ‘l'wo specimens collected July 2, 1908 (5. A. Roh- 
wer). 
This species is closest to montana Aaron, but the apical teeth are short, obtusely 
triangular, and the anterior ocellus is not hooded.

THE ENVIRONMENT OF CALLICISTA INES, EDWARDS (DYAR), IN 
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. 
BY FORDYCE GRINNELL, JR., PASADENA, CAL. 
Tis pretty and delicate little Hair-streak was first described by W. H. Edwards 
in Papilio, I, 25, 1882, from a large number of specimens taken in Southern Arizona 
in October, 1881, by Jacob Doll. W.G. Wright in his “ Butterflies of the West Coast” 
records it from the Santa Rita mountains, Arizona and Southern California in Octo- 
ber; but he does not specify in what part of Southern California he took it. Mr. 
W. S. Wright in the Journal of the New York Entomological Society, XVI, Sept., 
1908, p. 162, gives an interesting but short account of the butterfly. It was taken 
by Mr. G. H. Field in July at Jacumba, San Diego County, where he found it rather 
common. This is the first definite record for the state. He supposes there are two 
broods, one in July and the other in October. Jacumba is in the desert part of the 
county. 
On May 30, 1908, I took seventeen specimens of Callicista ines near Black Moun- 
tain on the desert slope of the Santa Rosa mountains, flying around the small, scrubby 
Western Juniper (Juniperus occidentalis, Hooker). 
The Santa Rosa mountains are really a continuation of the San Jacinto moun-
