Hewitson's Hair-streak
Butterfly.--Brown on the upper side, in some specimens bright fulvous bordered with brown. On the under side the wings are pale red, shot with pea-green on the secondaries and at the base of the primaries. The markings of the under side are much as in the preceding species, but the line on the hind wing dividing the discal from the limbal area is broader and very white, and the spots between it and the margin more conspicuous. Expanse, 1.12 inch.
Early Stages.--Unknown.
It is reported from Arizona and southern California. It has been named siva by Edwards, and the figure is from his type so labeled.
