var. a. FLORIPKNSIK, NOB. The form found in Florida and 

 other parts of the extreme south. Whilst our more northern 

 form is of the same colour as Danais Plc.rippus, this southern 

 variety exactly mimics in its dark colouration Danais Sere- 

 nice, with which it associates. 



:f NlG. Whole upper surface deep blackish brown, the Florida. 



venation only a shade darker and only distinguishable from 



rest of ground colour on close inspection ; the usual submar- 



ginal row and other white spots conspicuously visible by 



contrast with the blackness of rest of wings. Under surface 



but a trifle less dark than the upper. Taken by Mr. Jacob 



Doll in Florida in 1874. Mus. Strecker. 



? PSEUDODORIPPUS, NOB. Can. Ent., IV, p. 216, 

 (1872). The mesial black stripe of secondaries wanting;! 

 the siibapical black patch almost gone, only indicated by a 

 darkish shade devoid of the usual three white spots. Under 

 surface same as above, save that the submarginal row of 

 white hmules have no intervening black line between them 

 and the reddish ground colour. Taken in Catskill Mts., N.

I have also an example which differs from the above in the 

 total obsolescence of all white lunules in margins of both 

 surfaces; in this the mesial line of secondaries is very faintly 

 visible, in all other points it agrees with the other example 

 just described. It is a ^ and was taken near Holyoke, Mass., 

 'in 1871, by Mr. Jos. E. Chase.
