Butterfly.--Dark fawn-color above, sometimes tinged externally with reddish. On the under side both wings are green, the primaries having a short straight band of white spots on the outer third, and the secondaries a small white spot on the costa beyond the middle, and two or three conspicuous white spots near the anal angle.

Early Stages.-The eggs are laid on the unopened flower-heads of Hosackia argophylla. This is all we know of the life-history.
The species ranges from Oregon and California eastward as far as Colorado.
