In the Tejon Mountains, near Lebec, the females were observed ovipositing on Purshia glandulosa. the first week in July. Heodes heteronea clara Hy. Edw.

It was my good fortune to find a colony of this butterfly near Lebec, in the Tejon Mountains, during the first week in July of this year. The females were observed ovipositing on Eriogonum fascicula- turn and E. microthecum. The first named seemed to be the preferred 67.
