Genus Pyrrhanaea 
and the reader who wishes to know all about it should consult the 
writings of Edwards and Scudder. 
This species is occasionally found in New England, and ranges 
thence westward to Michigan, and southward to the Gulf States. 
It is quite common in the valley of the Ohio. 
(7) Chlorippe flora, Edwards, Plate XXIII, Fig. 1, 6 ; Fig. 
2, $ (Flora). 
Butterfly , $ .—The ground-color is bright reddish-fulvous on 
the upper side. The usual markings occur, but there is no eye- 
spot, or ocellus, on the primaries. The hind wings are not 
heavily obscured with dark brown, as in clyton , and the six 
ocelli stand forth conspicuously upon the reddish ground. The 
hind wings are more strongly angulated than in any other 
species. The borders are quite solidly black. 
$ .-—The female is much larger than the male, and looks like a 
very pale female of clyton. Expanse, S , 1.75 inch; $, 2.35 inches. 
Early Stages .—The life-history has been described by Edwards 
in the “Canadian Entomologist,” vol. xiii, p. 81. The habits of 
the insect in its early stages and the appearance of the larva and 
chrysalis do not differ widely from those of C. clyton , its nearest ally. 
Flora is found in Florida and on the borders of the Gulf to 
Texas. 
Genus PYRRHANAEA, Schatz 
(The Leaf-wings) 
Butterfly.— Medium-sized butterflies, on the upper side of the 
wings for the most part red or fulvous, on the under side of the 
wings obscurely mottled on the secondaries and the costal and 
apical tracts of the primaries in such a manner as to cause them to 
appear on this side like rusty and faded leaves. Structurally they 
are characterized by the somewhat falcate shape of the primaries 
and the strongly produced outer margin of the secondaries about 
the termination of the third median nervule. The first and second 
subcostal nervules coalesce with one another and with the costal 
vein. The costal margin of the fore wing at the base is strongly 
angulated, and the posterior margin of the primaries is straight. 
The cell of the secondaries is very feebly closed. 
Egg. —Spherical, flattened at the base and somewhat depressed 
at the apex, with a few parallel horizontal series of raised points 
about the summit.
