Genus Oligoria 
Genus OLIGORIA, Scudder 
Butterfly .—The antennae are as in the preceding genus; the 
palpi have the third joint minute and almost entirely concealed 
in the thick vestiture of the second joint. The 
neuration is represented in the cut. 
Early Stages .—We know very little of these, 
and there is here a field for investigation. 
(i) Oligoria maculata, Edwards, Plate 
XLVI, Fig. 35, $ (The Twin-spot). 
Butterfly.— The upper side of the male is as 
shown in the plate. The female closely resem¬ 
bles the male, but the spots on the fore wing are 
larger. On the under side the wings are brown, 
almost as dark as on the upper side. The pri¬ 
maries are whitish near the outer angle. The 
spots of the upper side of the primaries are re¬ 
produced on the lower side. The hind wings have three con¬ 
spicuous pearly-white spots about the middle, two located one on 
either side of the second median nervule, and one removed from 
these, located between the upper radial and the subcostal nervule. 
Expanse, $ , 1.40 inch; $,1.50 inch. 
Early Stages.— But little is known of these. 
This is a Southern species, found abundantly in Florida, and 
ranging northward into Georgia and the Carolinas. A speci¬ 
men is reported to have been taken near Albany, New York, and 
diligent collecting may show that it has a far more northern 
range than has heretofore been supposed. 
Genus POANES, Scudder 
Butterfly .—The antennae are short; the club is stout, bent, 
acuminate at the tip. The third joint of the palpi is slender, cy¬ 
lindrical, short. The neuration of the genus is shown in the cut. 
Early Stages. —Nothing is known of these, and they await in¬ 
vestigation.
