ANTHOCH A RIS LAN CEOL AT A. 
Secondaries marbled with fine brown lines which become almost confluent on inner half, 
especially at costa, where there are several irregular shaped pure white spots, the one nearest 
the outer angle being the largest. 
Female resembles the male. 
Habitat. California. 
This has the reputation of being one of the rarest of the Californian butterflies ; it re- 
sembles in form and general appearance the female of our eastern A. Genutia, but is larger, 
and the ornamentation of under surface of secondaries is different from any other American, 
or, in fact, any species I am acquainted with. 
ANTHQCIIARIS JULIA. Edwards. 
Trans. Ain. Ent. Soc., Vol. IV, p. 61. (1872.) 
(PLATE VI, FIG. 6, 7, ?.) 
Male. Expands inches. 
Head and body black above, yellowish beneath ; antennae blackish, club with yellow tip. 
Upper surface white; primaries, black at base; an orange apical patch, margined by a 
black band outwardly, the inner edge of which is serrated, inner half of the orange patch is 
powdered with black atoms; costa, from disco-cellular veins to base, blackish; an S shaped 
discal mark extends to the costa. 
Secondaries black at base; cilke black at termination of veins. 
Under surface white ; primaries, apical part greenish, the orange spot not near so vivid as 
above; discal mark almost divided in two at the centre; costal margin with some indistinct 
markings. 
Secondaries variegated with greenish grey in a manner nearer approaching A. Genutia 
than any other species, that is, all the marks are connected with each other and have a foliated 
not a spotted appearance, as in A. Sara and ? var. Reakirtii ; veins yellow. 
Female. Expands 1§ inches. 
Upper surface lemon yellow, marked much as in male, but the orange spot does not 
extend as far outward, being bounded exteriorly by an irregular blackish sub-marginal line, 
the space between which and the outer margin is yellow. 
Under surface yellow, marked as in the other sex. 
All the examples so far known are those taken by Mr. Mead in the pine forests near 
Fairplay, Colorado, in June, 1871, and now in Mus. Am. Ent. Soc., T. L. Mead, 
W. H. Edwards, H. Strecker. 
This pretty species, I think, will hold its own', the variegation of under surface of secon- 
daries is peculiar and constant and quite different from A. Sara and A. Reakirtii, notwith- 
standing the great tendency to variation in the latter.* 
ASara and Reakirtii, I believe, are identical.
