51. Callicista columella Fabricius (366). 



Only five of these little beauties have fallen to my net in the last 

 two years, and these were taken on the alfalfa blossoms in my front 

 yard in August, 1906. The species may be more plentiful back from 

 the coast. 



52. Callicista ines Edwards (369). 



In July, 1907, Mr. George Field was collecting at Jacumba and 

 took a number of these desert beauties. They seemed to be quite 

 plentiful but owing to the short time he was there he failed to get a 

 very large series of them. This is the most western record for ines 

 that I have been able to find. The locality is semi-desert and is sub- 

 ject to the same general climatic conditions as the desert only a few 

 miles away, and one would naturally expect to find ines, if at all, at 

 the same time as farther east, viz., October, but here we find it plenti- 

 ful in July. I believe, therefore, that we are safe in supposing that there 

 are two broods, one emerging the latter part of June, the other in 

 October. 



53. Incisalia iroides Boisduval (372). 



During the early spring of 1906 I took one specimen of this species 

 in the city. It has been taken sparingly in other parts of the county 

 but does not seem to be plentiful anywhere in this locality. 



54. Callophrys dumetorum Boisduval (380). 



San Diego specimens are somewhat smaller than those taken 

 in the mountains, but the markings are typical of the species. Nine 

 specimens fell to my net on the hill above Powder-house Canon in 

 the City Park during February and March, 1907. The species is said 

 to be very abundant in San Felipe Canon near Julian. 



55. Tharsalia virginiensis Edwards (387). 



This species occurs in the valley about midway between Campo and 

 Jacumba where I have taken a few specimens. Mr. George Field took 

 a large series of them on Volcan Mt. in July, 1907. 



56. Tharsalia hermes Edwards (388). 



This beauty may be taken sparingly in the canons to the north and 

 east of the city during June. It also occurs in the Grapevine Canon 

 at an altitude of about 2,500 feet. Hermes is a very delicate insect 

 and difficult to capture in perfect condition. Mr. Wright, in " West 

 Coast Butterflies," describes this as a new species under the name del
