ARGYNNIS VI. 
From California. The most common or only species of Argynnis found in 
vicinity of San Francisco, according to Dr. Behr, who adds “it seems pretty uni- 
versally distributed throughout our State. There exists but one generation, and 
the imago is found in June.” Of the larva I can obtain no information. 
It is difficult to determine this species from the diagnosis of Dr. Boisduval, 
which possibly includes at least two species, the other being Odronis, Behr. 
Dr. Boisduval does not notice the dark coloration of upper surface or the con- 
spicuous pale spots of secondaries. But the present is the species designated by 
the name in our collections, and is so recognized by Dr. Behr in his paper on the 
Argvnnides of California, Ann. Acad. Nat. Sci. Calif. 1862.
