Packard.] 36 [May 7, 



wing, slightly scalloped externally; the shade does not connect with 

 the outer costal spot ; the marginal shade is dark on the oblique 

 upper edge, but is fainter towards the anal angle than on the upper 

 side of the wing. A faint row of diffuse small spots between this 

 shade and the middle shade. Hind wings with a very distinct discal 

 dot. A narrow, fine, much curved line crosses the middle of the 

 wing; another sinuate line midway between this and the margin; the 

 part just below the apex is oblong rather than triangular, as above. 

 Fringe brown on both wings, with darker spots on ends of venules 

 beneath ; towards anal angle of secondaries fringe becomes yellow- 

 ish. The two ? and one d are paler, without the marginal dark 

 band, while the lines below are well marked, the c? median shade of 

 primaries being represented by a very distinct sinuate line, with 

 three rude ringlets on the inside of the line, and the fringe is yellow- 

 ish ; in another specimen the lines are much more distinct. 



Length of body cf, .45, ?, .40 inch; fore wing d", .50, ?, .50 inch. 

 Sierra Nevada (Edwards). 



This interesting species may be known by the non-angulated yellow 

 wings, with the broad marginal shade, and the subtriangular spot on 

 hind wing, and the large discal dots on hind wing on inner third of 

 wing. 



Sicya crocearia n. sp. 3 c?, 4 ?. 



Sulphur yellow ; palpi and orbits deep reddish orange ; thorax 

 sulphur yellow, concolorous with the primaries; hind wings pale yel- 

 low, a little deeper than the abdomen. Primaries crossed by two 

 light brown lines, the inner (often obsolete) oblique, scarcely curved 

 and bent at right angles on the costa ; the outer runs straight from 

 just beyond the middle of the inner edge of the wing to the costa, 

 on which it forks, ending just before the apex; beyond this line the 

 wing is pale fawn brown, the apical region clear yellow. Hind wings 

 with a single sinuate reddish or brown line, beyond which the wing 

 is tinged with reddish, while within the line it is inclined to be whit- 

 ish. Beneath whitish yellow, primaries more yellow than seconda- 

 ries ; the outer line a broad reddish orange band, with the wing 

 beyond tinged with the same color, the apical region yellowish; a 

 brown or paler curved line on hind wings, with a few brown 

 flecks beyond, though those are often wanting. Legs pale, a little 

 darker at the ends of tibiae, or broadly ringed with dark brown. 



Length of body d",.45, ?, .35-.50; of fore wing d, .55, ?, .47- 

 .72 inch. California (Edwards and Behrens) ; Nevada (Edwards).
