with them I found seven examples evidently referable to the 

 P. clodius of Menetries, as figured by Mr. Edwards in his magni- 

 ficent work. Whether these examples really represent a distinct 

 species, I leave those to decide who may have opportunities for 

 breeding them : I am decidedly inclined to the belief that they do.

 p. 73. n. 109 (1855) ; Edwards, Butt. N. Amer. i. Parn. pi. i. 

 figs. 5, 6 (1871). Sonoma, Mendocino, and Siskiyou Counties. 



I detect the following marked differences between the two 

 forms : — P. clarius cS has no red markings at base of secondaries 

 below ; the absence of such markings is noticeable both in Evers- 

 mann's and Edwards's figures ; the female, however, has these 

 markings well developed, and has all the bands beyond the cell of 

 primaries above carried across these wings to inner margin. 

 P. clodius, on the other hand, has the two sexes much alike in 

 pattern, their upper surface being very similar to the male of 

 P. clarius, and the under surface of secondaries showing red basal 

 spots in both sexes. The range of P. clodius seems to be more 

 extended than Mr. Edwards believed.

It seems likely that this is only a variety of the following.

" A rare insect ; difi"ers from typical examples in the two yellow 

 spots in the cell of the primaries being almost obsolete."
