1804.] y^i* 



Pi'eris protodice, Boisd. Very pluntiful, especially in the fiill, and 

 «'vidently increasing. 



Co/ids philodice, Grodt. Very abundant. Some of the females are 

 very pale, almost white. This fall a variety is common that differs con- 

 siderably from the usual one. Both sexes are nearly alike ; the feuiale 

 being the larger and rather paler than the male; both are suljihur- 

 yellow above; the black border rather wider in the female, without 

 yellow spots, but is powdered with minute yellow specks. The rosy 

 fringe in both sexes is wanting. 



Danais archippus, S. & A. Throughout the summer and fall this is 

 our most common species, owing to the abundance of its food-plant. The 

 larva seems to feed indiscriminately on all our species of Asclepias. 



Aryynnh n/hele^ Godt. Very common ; but until recently has been 

 confounded with Aphrodite. Our species agrees exactly with figure in 

 Boisduval & Leconte's work.

 the preceding species. 



Argi/nnis rohimhiiia, Grodt. Very rare ; but one specimen known 

 to have been captured.

Grap)ta interrogationis, Fab. One of our most common species. 



Grapta comma, Harris. Common. 



Pyrameis atalanta, ]jinn. Usually quite common, but have not seen 

 a specimen this season.

 regularly than cardui.
