PL. LXVIII
For a detailed account of the structure and metamorphoses of these insects the reader is referred to “The Butterfly Book.” There are only two species found in our territory and we give figures of the upper side of both of them, so that the student will be able to recognize them when he gets them.
(1) Neominois ridingsi (Edwards), [Plate LXVIII], Fig. 1, ♂. Type (Ridings’ Satyr).

The under side is paler than the upper, and the basal and mesial areas are mottled with narrow pale brown streaks, while the hind wing is crossed about the middle by a dark band, the outer margin of which is sharply indented. Expanse 1.50 inch. Larva pupates under ground.
Inhabits the mountain states of the Pacific Coast.
