from the hind angle. Beneath the wings are more reddish, crossed by two faint 

 common lines, the terminal space darker. Expands 2 — 3 inches; 50 — 75 mm. 



Hab. — Georgia to Florida ; West Indies ; Mexico ; occasionally 

 northward to Massachusetts. 



This species is so strongly characterized and so different from any- 

 thing else in our fauna, that there should be no difficulty in recog- 

 nizing it. It varies somewhat in ground color, in size and distinct- 

 ness of maculation. In camerlui^ we have a smaller form, the 

 primaries less dentate, the lunate line from apex to the outer margin 

 very strongly marked. Extremes would seem to indicate two species, 

 but I would hardly care to separate them after Mr. Butler, who 

 probably had a large material at hand for comparison, and is not 

 usually classed as a " lumper," has united them. The description 

 above is of a somewhat intermediate form. Gundlach considers the 

 species distinct, and relies on the ground color and some minor de- 

 tails of maculation to separate them. The camertm form seems con- 

 fined to the more southern countries and has been found in our ter- 

 ritory in Florida only, so far as I am aware. StoU figures the larva 

 of camertm, and his figure does not differ greatly from that given by 

 Abbot, allowing for inaccuracies in coloring. It is rare in the 

 Northern States, and probably does not breed there. In the South 

 it is double brooded and appears in May and September. 



The larva was figured by Smith and Abbot, and described from 

 the figure by Clemens. No other or better description has been 

 found by me. 



The better to show the characters relied on I add the difterences 

 between Enyo lugubris and E. camertm as enumerated by Gundlach 

 Cont. Ent. Cuba, 181 :
