Lateral view. h. Dorsal view. Photo enlarged x 2. The crown of the head anterior to the point of origin of the antennae bears an abundance of long white hairlike scales, mixed with some that are dark. The color of this part is much lighter than in typical phaeton. There is also a greater prepon- derance of white hair on the under surface of thorax and ab- domen, as will be noted by referring to Plate 7, fig.

Yermo, Mojave Desert, Calif., April, 1935. Expanse of wings, mm. Allotype 5 . Adelanto, Mojave Desert, Calif., April 11, 1937, Coll. by R. H. Andrews and Lloyd M. Martin. Expanse, 36 mm. A series of paratypes as follows: \2 ^ $ , \d> ^ 5 . Para- type No. 1, near Yermo, Mojave Desert, Calif., April, 1935. All other paratypes from Yermo, Llano or Little Rock, on the Mo- jave Desert, the dates ranging from March to April of the years 1932 to 1938. The five reared specimens in the type series how- ever emerged earlier—three in January, 1938, and two in Feb- ruary, 1938. The holotype and a 2 paratype will be placed in the B.
