Thoi-MX and primaries dark hrown (burnt nmher), occasionally russet or dark 
glossy walnut-hrown (the latter color is exemplified in a specimen from Florida 
before me), with an elongated elliptical black spot of raised scales in the centre 
of the discal cell. .\n oblique green hand, more or less interrujited, occupies the 
basal third of the wing below the cell and runs narrowly around the cell, widen- 
ing centrally and suhapically, but nowhere reaching the base or margin of the 
wing. It is deeply excavated opposite the middle of the internal margin, the 
sinus filled in with a large rust-red spot; another similarly colored, hut smaller 
spot succeeds the suhapi' al portion of the band. Both these spots precede the 
obscure, purplish, subterminal line. The green is narrowly bordered outwardly 
and below with silvery white and narrowly surrounded by black. Abdomen 
and secondaries colored like the thorax or paler. Below, concolorous with sec- 
ondaries above. Expanse 'J, , 20 — 26 mm. ; ^,23 — 30 mm.

The wreen is contiiied to a small triangular patch at the base below 
median vein, often slightly excavated externally, and a still smaller 
subapical patch. 
Var. querceti H.-S. (Plate iv, figs. 4-6). 
bifida Pack. 
The green patches are larger than in the above, and the basal one 
is bifid, sending out a narrow line of green above the rust-red spot. 
Var. interjecta W. Var. (Plate iv, figs. 7, 8). 
1 propose this name for the specimens connecting var. querceti with 
var. monitor, in which a line of two or more little green dots connects 
the outer part of the basal green patch with the subapical one. These 
dots become larger and run together in specimens that are near 
monitor. 
* This is Clemens’ description: “ . — Body and fore wings rather dark red- 
dish brown, with a small, nearly triangular pea-green patch, narrowly bordered 
with dark brown, at the base of the wing beneath the median nervure, slightly 
excavated behind, where it joins a bright brown i>atch. Toward the hind end 
of the disc [cell], in its middle, is a minute, oval, dark brown streak ; two small, 
pea-green, subapical spots, the one neare.st the costa minute.” It evidently re- 
fers to the var. deJphinii. Clemens also describes the genus and the larva of his 
species, hut the characters are all borne ont by specimens of Euclea cippus.
