84 THE CANADIAN ENTOMOLOGIST. 



bar ; the other two being on the sides ; but in many cases the white is 

 much restricted on the front, there being merely two short bars on lower 

 face ; one example difitered from all the rest, the face being largely white, 

 the black tip and patches merely indicated by gray of the palest shade, 

 the only black being in a small spot over mandibles ; in all cases the 

 mandibles and ocelli are black. 



Chrysalis. — Length .7 ^, .85 1|^; compressed laterally, the outline 

 of ventral side convex, a regular curve from top of head case to end of 

 wing cases ; the abdomen prominent dorsally, much arched, sharply car- 

 inated, the sides very little convex and near the keel slightly incurved ; 

 the anterior edge of each segment on the keel a little produced and thick- 

 ened, and marked on either side here by a shining black dot ; the tho- 

 racic segments depressed at an angle of about 45° above the end of the 

 keel, and their sides excavated ; mesonotum low, rounded at summit, with 

 a slight carina, the sides convex ; the head case subconic, the ocellar pro- 

 jections prominent, three sided and running to a blunt point, the space 

 between them on top of head being concave ; from end of each a small 

 ridge runs back, the two ridges meeting at base of mesonotum, the inter- 

 vening area being almost flat, very little convex ; color pale yellow-green, 

 finely streaked and specked with light buff over head case, mesonotum 

 and wing cases, and specked over abdomen ; the neuration of the wings 

 distinct in pale yellow or buff ; a buff line passes along the keel and 

 mesonotum, and forks to the projections of head case ; another passes 

 along the posterior edge of the wing case and is joined by a wavy line 

 down side of abdomen ; on middle of each abdominal segment on dorsal 

 side is an oblique faint buff line pointing down and forwards, ending in a 

 little buff spot. Duration of this stage 6 and 7 days. 



In Butterflies of N. A., Vol. 2, Part 5, I described A. Flora as a 

 " possible variety of A. Clytoii" but expressed the opinion that it would 

 be thereafter found to be a good species. The few examples then known 

 to me were all collected by the son of the late Mr. Wm. Stadlmair, of 

 Brooklyn, N. Y., at Pilatka, Fla., and were accompanied by undoubted 

 Clyton. In 1880, I received from Dr. Wm. Wissfeld a female Flora taken 

 at Indian River, and I urged him, in case he was so fortunate as to cap- 

 ture another female, to tie it in a bag over a branch of any species of 

 Celtis tree. On 20th July, I received about 50 young larvae, from eggs 

 laid nth July. A female had laid about 225 in a cluster within bag on
