GENUS NISONIADES 253 



468. Nisoniades Funeralis. 



Plate XXXII ; Figure 468, Female, San Bernardino Val- 

 ley; Author. 

 This is more brownish and less black than Clitus ; it has a wide 

 white fringe to the hind wings, but it is not quite so marked as in 

 Clitus. This also is a southern form, and found only in California 

 and Arizona. 



469. Nisoniades Tristis. Not elsewhere illustrated. 



Plate XXXII ; Figure 469, Female, Central California, 



1894; Author. 



Tristis is the most abundant species of all the numbers of this 



sad group ; I have taken it from Spokane to the Mexican line, and 



it seems to occupy the plains and the mountains, everywhere 



present. 



The food-plant is Hosackia. 



470. Nisoniades TibuUus. 



No figure. 

 This name is given in the catalogues as inhabiting California, 

 but it is unknown to me. 



480. Nisoniades Lacustra, n. s. Not elsewhere illustrated. 

 Plate XXXII ; Figure 480, a. 



Fig. 480, Male, Blue Lakes, California, May 10, 1894; 

 Author, 

 a, Male, underside, Blue Lakes, California, May to, 

 1894; Author. 

 Expanse, 1.15 inches ; fore wings blackish, crossed by an extra- 

 discal black line, outside of which is a line of small points ; hind 

 wings dark brown ; a few indistinct light points sub-marginal. 

 Underside blackish, both wings alike in color; a series of light 

 points sub-marginal on hind wing. 



The fine black lines across fore wing are peculiar, and are not 

 seen in any other West Coast species. I was compelled to place 

 this figure on the plate out of its proper order.
