undersurface of the hind wings. Very common in northern Florida 

 and ranging northward to New Jersey, it is especially characteristic 

 of oj)en pine woods and adjacent grass lands. In its habits it resem- 

 bles the common wood nymph, but like the preceding it is less active 

 and has a lower and weaker flight, 



NEONYMPHA SOSYBIUS (Fabricius) 



Plate 56, Figures 7, 8 



This common southern species is to be looked for in the vicinity 

 of the District. It resembles Neoiiympha eurytus but is smaller and 

 darker, the wings above are entirely unmarked, and the fore wings 

 below have only a single small eye spot near the apex. In its habits, 

 as I have seen it in Florida, it is much like N. eurytus^ but less 

 active. 



CERCYONIS ALOPE PEGALA (Fabricius) 



Plate 2, Figures 6 to 8 



This southern species ranges northward to New Jersey. In its 

 habits it is quite the same as C. a. alope^ but in correlation with its 

 larger size it is more active and energetic and consequently more 

 difficult to catch. 



ENODIA PORTLANDIA (Fabricius) 



Plate 1, Figures 7, 8 



Although occurring over an enormous area in eastern North Amer- 

 ica, this species is almost everywhere very local. It certainly should 

 be found somewhere in the more or less immediate vicinity of the 

 District. It is to be sought for in dark ravines and in dark hillside 

 thickets. 



In coloration this species closely resembles the grass nymph 

 {Satyrodes eurydice), but the fore wings are more pointed with the 

 outer margin straight or slightly concave instead of evenly rounded, 

 while the hind wings are narrower and have a scalloped instead of 

 a broadly and evenly rounded outer border. 



Subfamily Nymphalinae 



VANESSA MILBERTI (Godart) 



Plate 12, Figures 3, 4 



This species is quite likely occasionally to occur in the District as 

 a casual visitor. It is a northern form which ranges southward into 

 the mountains of West Virginia. From time to time it appears in 

 great abundance and becomes more or less migratory.
