CENECTEA.— CENOPIS. 17 



the underside of the fore wings greyish fuscouSj sometimes tinged with ochreous along the 

 margins. Hind wings greyish fuscous. 4 ? . Expanse of wings 22 millims. 



May and June^ near San Francisco^ 1871 ; one specimen occurring near Rouge River^ 

 Oregon, May 1872. 



Var. a. (Plate LXIV. fig. 2.) 



Head, thorax, palpi, and fore wings entirely suffused with chestnut-brown ; the half- 

 fascia and costal spot more or less faintly indicated in a purplish tinge. In the brighter and 

 more ochreous specimens the legs are often ochreous, except the first pair of tibiae, which are 

 darker above ; but in the darker specimens the legs are of the same dusky shade as the whole 

 underside of the wings. 2 (^ . 



May 17th, 1872, Petaluma, near San Francisco. 



(Enectra senecionana. (Plate LXIV. fig. 3.) 



Antennae strongly pubescent in the male : head, palpi, thorax, and fore wings ochreous 

 yellow, with an oblique pale purplish chestnut fascia before the middle of the costa, not 

 reaching the dorsal margin ; a shade of the same colour extending from beyond the middle of 

 the costa over the whole apical third of the wing, sinuated on its inner margin, and sometimes 

 interrupted by the pale ground-colour between the veins, within and parallel to the apical 

 margin. The female has the fore wings usually unicolorous pale ochreous chestnut, the fascia 

 and apical shade faintly indicated by a purplish hue : hind wings pale cinereous ochreous, 

 sometimes with a rosy tinge. 3 c^, 2 ? . Expanse of wings 16-19 millims. 



This species occurred from June 20th to August 6th, from Lake County to Mount Shasta, 

 California; and again at the beginning of May, in Southern Oregon. I bred one specimen 

 from a larva found feeding on a species of Senecio in May, which emerged early in June.

Palpi reddish brown, projecting more than the length of the head beyond it; the second 

 joint thickened towards its base, and tapering towards the short conical apical joint : head 

 thickly clothed, together with the antennae reddish brown : thorax reddish brown in front, 

 ochreous behind. Fore wings more than twice as long as wide — the costa evenly arched ; apex 

 obtusely rounded ; apical margin rather convex, not oblique — deep orange ochreous, minutely 

 irrorated with greenish metallic scales, with an oblique, slender, brownish-purple fascia dilated 

 towards the costa before the middle, and reaching the middle of the dorsal margin ; an
