California, from Dr. H. Behr. Youcon Kiver, from Mr. B, W. 
Kennieott. Pike’s Peak, in the Society’s collection. 
The resemblance to Ausonia is very close, hut not more so than to 
Tagis or to Slmplonid^ two other European species. 
Chionobas Chryxus, Doubleday: figured in Genera of Diurnal Lepi- 
doptera, but not described. 
Male. Expands 2 inches. Upper side: primaries brown, with a 
broad, ochrey yellow band across the nervules, not reaching the costa; 
within this band are two round, black spots, the upper one largest and 
between the discoidal nervules; the other minute, between the second 
and third median nervules. 
Secondaries ochrey yellow, bordered with brown at the outer angle; 
a minute black spot near the anal angle; fringe of both wings alternate 
black and whitish. 
Under side : primaries paler, the upper spot reproduced, and having 
a white pupil; the whole wing, except the band, marked by fine, dark 
brown streaks, at the apex and on the costa interspersed with white. 
Secondaries mottled with brown and white, the latter color predomi¬ 
nating next the base; a broad, sinuous band crosses the disk, darkest 
on the edges; the minute spot reproduced.' 
Female. A little larger, of an uniform dull ochrey yellow ; prima¬ 
ries have three spots, the two outer ones with white pupils. 
Taken near Pike’s Peak; from the Society’s Collection. 
The female of this species much resembles the female of C. Taygete, 
from Labrador.
