BUTTERFLIES COLLECTED IN CALIFORNIA. 471 



Mr. Edwards only quotes the ' Proceedings of the Academy of 

 Natural Sciences ' for the same year (1866) ; but on referring to it 

 (p. 238), I find nothing beyond the name of the species and an im- 

 perfect reference to the then unpublished description above quoted.

Mr. Grodman also possesses a small and r.ather dark-coloured 

 female specimen. Is it P. sist/mirii? The North- American spe- 

 cies appear to run very close.

There can, I think, be no doubt that this is Edwards's species ; 

 but had I described the species, I should have said that the under 

 surface of the secondaries was rather sap-green, blotched and 

 spotted with silvery white, than simply " white, covered with con- 

 fluent patches of yellow-green, powdered with grey;" the green 

 portion of the wing prevails over the white. However, this is 

 merely a matter of taste.
