254 THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE WEST COAST 



Genus EUDAMUS. 



471. Eudamus Pylades. 



Plate XXXII; Figure 471, Female, Santa Rita Moun- 

 tains, 1903 ; Stephens. 

 Pylades is an Eastern species, and only appears within Western 

 territory in the torrid mountains of Southern Arizona. 



472. Eudamus Mexicana. 



Plate XXXII ; Figure 472, Female, Sierra Nevadas of 

 California, 1891 ; Author. 

 This species was once thought to be a dwarfed variety of the 

 preceding, Pylades, but at present is conceded to be a separate 

 species, though there is not much apparent difference, except in 

 size ; but the habitat of the two forms is vastly different, the latter 

 being a high mountain form, of the cooler, coast region. 



474. Eudamus Tityrus. 



Plate XXXII ; Figure 474, Female, San Bernardino 

 Mountains ; Author. 

 I figure the underside of the female, as the marks are more 

 distinct and peculiar than on the upper side. This strongly 

 marked form is found over the most parts of North America, and 

 flies in South America as well. The egg is laid on the leaves of 

 leguminous plants. 



477. Eudamus Caicus. 



Plate XXXII ; Figure 477, Female, "Arizona" ; H. K. 

 Morrison, 1886. 

 This species is a Mexican bird, and comes not west of Tucson. 

 It has a wide white fringe to hind wings. 



478. Eudamus iSmilia. 



Plate XXXII ; Figure 478, Male, Tehachapi Mountains, 

 June 10, 1891 ; Author. 

 This rather peculiar form is found in the Klamath Valley of 

 Oregon and California, and south to the locality noted above, 

 which is the most southern point yet noted.
