84. Hesperia tessellata Scudder 



Probably the commonest member of its family in this region. It 

 flies from early spring until late in the fall and may be taken almost 

 anywhere. 



Recapi p 



This list includes 84 species scattered through 54 genera. 

 these, 61 species in 4^ genera are to be found in the [nunc 

 vicinity of San Diego city. 



Fairly good collecting may be had in and about the cit\ - 

 as the middle of February and as late as the middle of November. 

 The best months are March to September inclusive, and I judge that 

 the same limits will apply to the mountains as well except at the 

 higher altitudes. Probably the best time for a trip to the mountains 

 would be in May, June, or July, while for desert collecting March or 

 April would be the best months.
