BUTTERFLIES COLLECTED IN CALIFOENIA. 469 



L. antcegon of Boisduval seems to be represented by the 

 larger examples of this species ; it is said to be a little larger 

 than L. oegon. 



33. LTCiENA AiSFA, Edwards, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. 1861, 

 p. 163. A single female, obtained in Mendocino County. 



34. Ltc^ka pheees, Boisduval, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1852, 

 p. 297. Siskiyou County {Mr. Godmaii's collection^. 



35. CHRTSOPHAJiTUS XANTHOiDES. — Polyommatus xanthoides, 

 Boisduval, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1852, p. 292. Sonoma County, 

 in May. 



36. CnETSOPHANUS GORGON. — Polyommatus gorgon, Boisduval, 

 Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1852, p. 292. Mendocino County. 



37. Chrtsophanus helloides. — Polyommatus lielloides,^02s- 

 duval, Ann. Soc. Ent. France, 1852, p. 292. Little Shasta. 



38. Stetmon sjepitjm. — Thecla ssepium, Boisduval, Ann. Soc. 

 Ent. France, 1852, p. 287. 6 ? , Mendocino County. 



By an oversight, Mr. Elwes labelled this as T. acadica, "W. H. 

 Edwards, which is a species nearer to T. Edioardsii. 



39. Strtmon tetea. — Thecla tetra, W. S. Edwards, Trans. 

 Am. Ent. Soc. iii. p. 19 (1870). S , Siskiyou County. 



If I have rightly identified this species, it is somewhat allied to 

 S. mopsus. 



40. Strtmon htpeeici. — Thecla hyperici, Boisduval Sf Leconte, 

 Lep. Am. Sept. p. 99, pi. 31. figs. 1-4 (1833). Shasta County. 



Although nearly allied to aS*. melinus, I cannot regard this spe- 

 cies as identical. We have seven examples of ^S*. melinus agreeing 

 exactly with Hiibner's . figure, whereas the Californian species 

 differs markedly in the almost white colour of the under surface 

 of the wings. Whether this species or S. melinus is the Thecla 

 humuU of Harris, I do not know ; if it be the latter, the name 

 will sink into a synonym. 



41. Steymon aueetoeum ? — Thecla auretorum, Boisduval, Ann. 

 Soc. Ent. France, 1852, p. 287. Eouge River, Oregon. 



42. Strtmojs" californica. — Thecla californica, W. H. Ed- 

 wards, Proc. Acad. Nat. Sci. Phil. xiv. p. 223 (1862). Sonoma 

 and Siskiyou Counties.
