50 LORQUINIA 
Chino Canyon, the type-locality. I forwarded a series of this spe- 
cies to a lepidopterist friend of mine in England, Dr. Crowfoot of 
Beccles, who, after comparing them with specimens in his collection 
of vS. saundersii from Colombia, vS. lacinia from Texas, 5". fassH from 
Equador, expressed an opinion that these four Synchloes were forms 
of one widely distributed species, 5. calif ornica being the most beauti- 
ful of all, and well characterized by the chain of large fulvous spots 
near the margins of both wings. This is in agreement with the con- 
clusions arrived at by Mr. Victor Duran and Mr. Fordyce Grinnell, 
Jr., as set forth in an article appearing in the Entomological News of 
April, 1915 (Vol. XXVI, No. 4) who, after examining and compar- 
ing specimens of S. saundersii from x\rgentina and Venezuela, 5. la- 
cinia from Texas and southern Arizona, and S. californica from 
Arizona and the Colorado Desert, were of the opinion that these three 
Synchloes represented geographical forms of one species found from 
Argentina to California. 
Lemonias morino. I saw and took only one of this species, 
which may be a variation of L. zni\Siulti as described in the "Biologia 
Centrali-Americana. 
Calephelis australis. This insect was fairly abundant on the edge 
of the desert, flying low among the brush growing on the sides of dry 
stony washes. 
In my captures, the Lycaenidae family was represented by 
Thecla melinits, T. iroides, T. diimetorum, and a Thecla of a light 
brown color, which I have as yet been unable to identify. Lycaena 
polyphemus or an unnamed related form, L. sonorensis, two forms of 
L. acmon, L. exilis, L. marina and a very small dark Lycaena which 
I take to be a southern form of the L. battoides collected by me in 
the High Sierras in July 1915 at an altitude of 12,000 ft. (This 
form must be enoptes or a form of it ; I have it from the Santa Rosa 
Mountains. — F. Grinnell, Jr. 
The Hesperidae were rather scarce, yet I managed to collect 10 
different species, of which I identify 
Copaeodcs Candida Wright. Hesperia montivaga Edw. 
Pyrgus tessellata Scud. Nisoniadcs persins Scud. 
N. funeralis Scud. — Burg, 
and a large gray skipper which may be Hesperia domicella Edw. 
Besides the above I took 4 specimens of Systasea pulverulenta, 
which is usually described from Arizona and Mexico. This insect
