244 THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE WEST COAST 



any country. Similar to Nemorum, but clearer and yellower, es- 

 pecially beneath ; there are no spots on underside of hind wing, 

 this being the only Pamphila that has no spots, except the next 

 species. This third figure is photographed from a specimen sent 

 me by Mr. Edwards, in the early days before Washington became 

 a State. Agricola is a wide-spread species, like Nemorum, occu- 

 pying about the same territory.

 This species was separated from Agricola by Mr. Edwards in 

 1883, and in 1885 he sent me the male example here figured, for 

 identification purposes. Milo is smaller than Agricola, and in 

 general coloration, both on upper and lower sides, is more even, 

 or less contrasty. It has never been found outside of Oregon, 

 that I have ever heard of. 



433. Pamphila Pratincola.

 This also is one of the early birds, named by Boisduval in 1852, 

 and never yet figured. Pratincola is at once distinguished by the 

 chocolate color on the underside of hind wings ; the example fig- 

 ured in the plate is not exceptionally deep colored ; the color may 

 be in some degree dependent upon the season, or the elevation. 

 Pratincola flies from Northern California through Oregon and 

 Washington, and probably well up into British Columbia. 



434. Pamphila Varus. 



No figure. 

 This name is set down for Southern California, but I have never 

 seen it, and do not know of any one who has ; it seems to be an 

 unknown quantity, hidden away in some obscure spot.
