Campestris and the Eastern Huron are similar, the males of 

 both having the big broad stigma or black spot on middle of fore 

 wing; the female is quite different from the male, the stigma 

 is smaller, and has a translucent spot at the outer end ; the figure 

 on the plate tells all about it better than many words could do. 

 Figure c is a normal female beneath, being light-colored, and cc 

 is a late, autumn species, much darker than at an earlier date. 



Campestris is known on the West Coast only in Southern Cali- 

 fornia; it is marked similarly to Huron, and by some writers is 

 considered to be the same, but is easily separated by its brighter 

 and more contrasty colors, and because the spots and markings 

 are more definite and positive, while Huron is obscure and indef- 

 inite in those particulars. 



The larval food-plant is Cynodon dactylon, Bermuda grass, but 

 it must be able to use other grasses, as it lived in California for 

 years before Bermuda grass came into the country. 



437. Pamphila Brettus. 



Plate XXXI; Figures 437, b, Male and Female; from 

 H. Strecker. 

 Brettus is an Eastern species, inhabiting the Atlantic States 

 from New England to Florida. The figures of this pair of Bret- 

 tus are inserted here for comparison with Brettoides, next fol- 

 lowing. Brettus does not fly on the West Coast. You see the 

 sexes are widely different in color.
