In spite of the great abundance of this spe- cies in certain seasons, and the recorded occur- rence of the larvae in such numbers as to de- foliate the foodplant {Ccanothus) over wide areas, there seems to be no available illustration of the various phases of its metamorphosis. Through the courtesy of Mr. and IVIrs. Oliver T. Young, of Fillmore, Calif., we were supplied with mature larvae and pupae which made possil)le the drawings that are presented on Plates 10 and 11

This is one of our native species which oc- casionally occurs in migrating swarms through our mountains. It is suggested that lepidopter- ists should make published records of the dates and localities where these swarms appear, and endeavor to determine the factors which are re- sponsible for the species' almost total disappear- ance in certain localities for a period of time, subsequent to its PLATE 10 Larva of Aglais californica Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Southern California Academy of Sciences.
