Montivaga
Butterfly.--This species in both sexes very closely approximates the foregoing. The main points of distinction consist in the somewhat darker red of the upper side of the wings, the slightly heavier dark markings, and the absence on the under side, especially of the hind wings, of the olive-green shade which is characteristic of typical specimens of A. eurynome. The mottling of the basal and median areas on this side is reddish-brown. The spots are more or less silvered on the under side. Expanse, male, 1.75 inch; female, 1.90 inch.
Early Stages.--Unknown.
This species is found in the Sierras of California and among the mountains of Nevada.
