 also dusky. Hairs on antennae, legs and body short and heavy, 

 spinelike, capitate at the tip. Antennae slightly longer than the 

 body. Unguis slightly longer than the third antennal segment. Third 

 segment with two or three small circular sensoria. Antennal tubercle 

 prominent and gibbous. Nectaries more or less cylindrical, but with 

 a slight taper and slightly curved toward the center. This latter 

 character produces a slightly swollen effect which is accentuated by 

 the constricted tip.

Coenonympha brenda (Lep. : Satyridae). 



I spent the last of August, 1917 in the Greenhorns above Glenville, 

 California. Noticing a pallid little Satyrid, I took half a dozen, more 

 for purposes of identification than anything else. Because of limited 

 opportunity to collect and miserable facilities for preserving a collec- 

 tion in the oil-country, I usually foolishly disregard the insignificant 

 sorts. Imagine my chagrin, on reaching home, to find my Satyrid 

 to be Coenonympha brenda! While not gregarious, three or four were 

 fluttering languidly over every high, grassy knoll, and a day's collecting 

 would have yielded a hundred specimens. T wonder if C. brenda is 

 a late-fall species, coming after we have about given up collecting, 

 and thus has escaped notice? — W, H. Ireland,
