brown, marked with greenish white in a very broad premedian 

 band crossing the hind wings and half the fore wings, supplemented 

 on the fore wings by four very large elongated spots in the apical 

 half of the wing, the lowermost connected with the band and send- 

 ing a tongue into the middle of the cell; midway between band and 

 margin a row of large oval green spots, continued on fore wings as 

 a premarginal series of unequal, round, often faint, whitish spots. 

 Under surface pale pearly green, the limits of the bands and spots 

 of upper surface more or less vaguely mapped in ferruginous. Ex- 

 panse 100 mm. Mature Caterpillar: Coronal spines of head 

 8 mm. long, red, broadly crimson at base, whitish in the middle, 

 and brownish at tip. Body velvety black, the spines reddish gray, 

 a mediodorsal stripe of stiff pile, less abundant than the unequal 

 papilla-seated pile on the sides. Feeds on Blechum. Other stages 

 unknown. — S. Fla. ; New Mexico ; perhaps a mere straggler from 

 the south. 



Anartia Htibner. 



Butterfly : Antennal club relatively stout, about three times as 

 broad as the stalk. Second superior subcostal branch of fore wings 

 short, arising beyond the end of the cell ; second inferior subcostal 

 branch retroarcuate at base ; last median branch normal, as in hind 

 wings; tail of hind wings broader than long. Fore tarsi of male 

 much more than half as long as the tibia. Egg : See tribe ; laid 

 singly. Caterpillar at birth: Trichomes longer than in Victorina. 

 Mature Caterpillar : Coronal spines of head clubbed at tip. Chrys- 

 alis: All the tubercles, including the frontal and mesonotal, ob- 

 solescent, those of the abdominal segments obsolete, their place 

 marked only by pigment, (avaprto?, incongruous ; in allusion to its 

 great difference in markings from its fellows ?) 



AnIrtia j!troph.e Linn. Butterfly ; Upper surface of wings, 

 except upper outer portion of fore wings, washed centrally with 

 white, with two broad, crenated black-edged fulvous bars across 

 cell of fore wings, an interrupted brown median line across both 

 wings (in the hind wings formed of crescents), and three partial 

 similar lines across the basal half of hind wings, besides a pair of 

 slender brown crescentic premarginal bands on both wings, on a 

 light fulvous base, and moderately large round black spots in the 

 lower median interspace of both wings and the lower subcostal in- 

 terspace of fore wings. Under surface whitish lilac, with somewhat 

 similar markings, the fulvous inclining to ferruginous. Expanse
