248 THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE WEST COAST 



444. Pamphila Arabus. 



No figure. 

 Arabus is from Arizona ; it was named from one female speci- 

 men taken in Southern Arizona, probably in 1881, and so far as I 

 know, not seen since. The female is glossy dark brown, with 

 five small translucent spots in fore wing; beneath it is grayish- 

 brown, without spots. 



445. Pamphila Nereus. Not elsewhere illustrated.

 Nereus is brownish-black and has two, or three, or four small 

 white spots on fore wing, and sometimes one or more similar ones 

 on hind wing, though often not any. The spots are more plainly 

 seen on the underside, extending in a straight line across both 

 wings near the middle. It is common enough at Yuma, but does 

 not come further west. 



446. Pamphila Deva. 



No figure. 

 Deva is named in the catalogues as inhabiting Arizona and 

 Southern California, and therefore I mention it, although I have 

 never seen it, and do not believe it ever was seen in California; 

 presumably it is a Mexican species that is very limited in its 

 flight on American soil, and I suppose that it was set down to 

 California from guess-work rather than actual knowledge. 



447. Pamphila Lunus. 



No figure. 

 This is similar to Deva. Presumably Mexican, and of no inter- 

 est. It is of very large size, 1.8 inches; dark brown on both 

 upper and undersides, or a little grayish beneath, with a few small 

 translucent spots, and two indefinite black-brown dashes. 



448. Pamphila Errans. 

 No figure. 



Expanse, i]!4 inch; dark brown, with six small yellowish 

 spots on fore wing, no spots on hind wing; underside a little 

 lighter, and the same spots show. Apparently named from the 

 male, or the sexes may be alike. From Yosemite.
