Genus Kricogonia 
(3) Catopsilia agarithe, Boisduval, Plate XXXIII, Fig. 1, & 
(The Large Orange Sulphur). 
Butterfly .—About the same size as C eubule , but deep orange 
on both sides of the wings. The wings of the female are bordered 
somewhat heavily with brown, and are duller in color than those 
of the male. Expanse, 2.50-2.75 inches. 
Early Stages.— The caterpillar, which resembles that of eubule , 
feeds upon various species of Cassia. The chrysalis is also much 
like that of eubule . We need, however, fuller information than 
that which we possess, drawn, for the most part, from the pages 
of authors who wrote in the last century. 
The species occurs in the hot parts of the Gulf States, and is 
common throughout tropical America. 
Genus KRICOGONIA, Reakirt 
Butterfly .—Medium sized, bright yellow on the upper and 
/ower sides, with some dark markings, especially in the male. 
The primaries in the male are generally quite 
strongly falcate. 
Early Stages .—Nothing has, as yet, been sat¬ 
isfactorily ascertained in relation to these. 
The genus is not large, and is confined to 
the tropical regions of the New World, being 
represented in our fauna in the vicinity of the 
city of Brownsville, in Texas. 
(1) Kricogonia lyside,Godart (form terissa, 
Lucas), Plate XXXIV, Fig. 20, 6 ; Fig. 21, $ (Ly- 
side). 
Butterfly .—-This insect, which may easily be 
distinguished from all its allies by its peculiar 
markings, is found in Florida and Texas, and is widely spread over 
the Antilles and tropical America. We know nothing of its life- 
history. A number of closely allied forms, reckoned as species, 
are known from the Antilles and Central America. They are so 
closely related to each other that it is believed that they are possibly 
only varieties or local races. We cannot, however, be sure of this 
until the test of breeding has been applied. Expanse, 1.90-2.10 
inches.
