bb. Tubercles of the eighth abdominal segment much smaller than the 

 others, the abdominal tubercles all somewhat pointed and longer 

 than broad ; cremaster never with a deep depression on the dor- 

 sal surface, but with a long narrow furrow on the ventral sur- 

 face, the lateral tubercles somewhat triangular in outline and 

 slightly rugose like the cremaster Cinclidia Hiibner. 



The following species were examined : 

 Phyciodes tharos Drury 

 Charidryas nycteis Doubleday and Hewitson 

 Buphydryas phaeton Drury 

 Cinclidia harrisii Scudder 



Subfamily Basilar chinae 



The genus Basilarchia differs from all the genera of Nymphalinae, 

 with which it is generally included, on account of the absence of the 

 rows of tubercles. There are two cephalic projections, as in many 

 Nymphalinae, and on the dorsum of the second abdominal segment 

 there is a very large carinate projection. This is somewhat oval in 

 outline as seen in lateral view, being constricted at the base. The body 

 is not prominently excurved in the region of the appendages as in the 

 Nymphalinae, but is of the same general shape. It agrees with the 

 Nymphalinae only in the characters common to all members of the 

 subfamily and is therefore placed in a separate subfamily. 



The following species were examined : 

 Basilarchia astyanax Fabricius, arthemis Drury, archippus Cramer. 



Subfamily Apaturinae 



The species of this subfamily, included by Scudder in the Nym- 

 phalinae, show no characters which unite them with that subfamily. 

 The group, according to Scudder, included the genera Chlorippe and 

 Anaea, which differ so widely in the pupae that they could not well be 

 combined in the same subfamily. The name Apaturinae has been re- 

 tained for the genus Chlorippe. These pupae are strongly compressed, 

 with a prominent median dorsal carinate ridge. There are two ce- 

 phalic projections and the ventral surface of the body forms a straight 

 line while the dorsum is strongly arched. The antennae are slightly 

 elevated and tuberculate. The genital openings are sunken and almost 

 concealed. On either side of the anal opening near its cephalic end 

 there is a small tubercle covered with hooked setae. The cremaster is 

 short and triangular, and the hooked setae are nearly all on the ventral 

 surface.
