AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 63 



some respects Julia is intermediate between the other two, but is more 

 constant to its type than either. The female appears to be always yel- 

 low, whereas in Sara one half are yellow and in Reakirtii none. Be- 

 sides this species and Ausonoides, Mr. Mead brought home Creusa of 

 Doubleday, a few specimens of which were taken in company with 

 Ausonoides. No other species of Anthocaris was seen. 



\ eopliasia Menapia, Felder ; Edw. But. of N. A. 



Female. — Expands 2 inch. Upper side sordid white ; primaries bor- 

 dered on costa and at apex and on hind margin with fuscous as in male, 

 enclosing in same manner white spots, at least five in number ; seconda- 

 ries differ from male in that the hind margin is bordered by a broad fus- 

 cous band, within which, next margin, are five large, rounded, soiled- 

 white spots; each of these spots meets the margin which at that point 

 is edged with orange. Under side of primaries nearly as above, ex- 

 cept that the curved extremity of the costal band of upper side is 

 separated and becomes a distinct spot on the lower part of the arc. 

 Secondaries have the nervures all broadly bordered by fuscous, and 

 crossed by a sub-marginal fuscous band corresponding to the anterior 

 portion of the band above; the margin edged by orange spots in the 

 interspaces; and the edge of both costal and abdominal margin more 

 or less washed with same color; shoulder also orange. 



Until quite lately the female of Menapia has been unknown or sup- 

 posed to be similar to male. In the " Butterflies of North America," 

 I have figured such a female erroneously. The true female has been 

 brought from San Juan by Dr. Bremuer and will be seen to differ 

 widely from the male. 



Argynnis Bremnerii, n. sp. 



Primaries long, narrow, produced apically ; hind margin convex or 

 nearly straight. 



Male. — Expands 2 to 2.4 inches. Upper side yellow-fulvous, dark 

 brown at base and nearly up to mesial band; hind margins bordered by 

 two fine parallel black lines, the intervening fulvous space divided by 

 the black nervules ; resting on these lines are pale fulvous, double-con- 

 vex spots, rather sub-ovate next apex of primaries, and each preceded 

 by a black spot which at apex of primaries and on whole of seconda- 

 ries are lunate, but on posterior half of primaries serrate ; the rounded 

 spots small ; the mesial zigzag band very heavy on both wings aud 

 confluent; the marks in cell of primaries as in Monticola, the first of 

 the three sinuous bars being usually confluent at its lower extremity 

 with the second ; in the sub-median interspace a sagittate spot ; sec-
