diffused internally and interrupted by yellow nervures j costal and abdominal areas 

 whitish ,• five conspicuous brown marginal spots ; below dull opaque rosy-orange, 

 the marginal spots of upper surface replaced by squamose silvery ones ; front wings 

 with pale internal area ; a collection of closely packed silver-centred brown spots 

 at end of cell; discal brown spots less distinct than above; hind wings with two 

 silver spots encircled with brown at end of cell, and a circular series of irregular 

 brown markings completely surrounding them. 



Localities : — " Brazil ; Bogota ; Honduras ; Mexico." 



In American Entomologist, 2, p. 340, 1870, we read : " A rare capture 

 in Illinois; H. S. Bontell, Evanstown, Illinois. The large sulptur or 

 citron-yellow butterfly with a large quadrate orange patch near the middle 

 of the front wings, and with the posterior part of the hind wings also 

 more or less orange is Callidryas Philea, Linn., the largest species of 

 the genus. Its habitat is usually given as Brazil, St. Domingo and Cuba, 

 and the fact of your capturing it in northern Illinois is interesting, and, 

 its occurrence there very exceptional," etc. 



In my Catalogue I give Texas as occasional habitat, but on whose 

 authority I do not remember. I was very careful at time of printing 

 the Catalogue to admit no occasional species whose locality I had not 

 investigated, and therefore I am satisfied that the species has been taken 

 in Texas. As to Illinois the above extract speaks for itself. 



These then are all the species of Callidryas thus far known to have 

 been taken to the North of Mexico, Eubule, Semiae^ Agarithe and Philea. 

 As to Cipris, attributed in my "Synopsis" to New Mexico, that was a 

 mistake on my part based on erroneous information, and I dismissed the 

 species from the Catalogue, 1877.
