It is a singular fact also that P. huntera, and not P. cardui, is the common “ Painted 
Lady” of the Canary Islands.

Closely allied to P. cardui, but differs in being of a much brighter colour on the 
upperside, in having the transverse spot beyond the cell on the costa tawny instead of 
white. The apical submarginal spot on the secondaries is obsolete; the remaining 
four have blue pupils; and the underside is likewise of a duller colour. 
Our examples of this species show that its range extends from California to the 
Argentine Republic.

includente; subtus alis fuscis, anticis inter maculas pagine snperioris ceruleo notatis; posticis nigro

Found in the highlands of Mexico and Guatemala, but not very abundant. Speci- 
mens from these countries do not differ from those from Europe. It has a close ally 
in India in P. callirhoe, and is also represented in Java, Australia, New Zealand, 
and the Sandwich Islands by kindred species 
JUNONIA.
