A rare species : the types came from or near Los Angelos, California ; those that were re-described later 
under the name of Daunia were taken in Colorado.

Upper surface of female entirely brown, with a darker discal mark on each wing. Undersurface precisely 
as in the male. The male figure on t. 10 was drawn from one of Reakirt’s original types of Tehama now in 
my possession ; some other examples which I have are much darker, showing none of the yellowish grey of this 
one which is “ var. a.” *) further distinguished by the distinctness of the sub-marginal spots and lunules of upper 
side of secondaries. Found in the Swiss Alps and Pyrenees, as well as on the higher peaks of Colorado aud 
the Sierras of California.
