It requires more imagination than I possess to see peclius in Cramer's

 darker yellowish color.

 Pamphila sabuleti, var. iecumseh GrrnneU, Ent, News xiv, 11, 1903. 

 Pamphila chispa Wright, Butt. W. Coast 247, pi. xxxr, f. 441, 1905. 



California, June to August. 



Teoumseh is smaller than typical sabuleti and has the fulvous areas of 

 the upper surface more restricted. The under surface has a greenish-gray 

 tone and the pale spots are smaller.

The only difference which I can see between this and Skinner's variety 

 in the series in the Barnes collection is the more yellow color of the under 

 surface of its secondaries.
