DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 11 



Female. — Above generally golden-orange, sometimes pinky- white ; front wings 

 with diflfused orange patch over end of cell; a brown spot at end of cell; apex 

 an oblique series of spots between the nervures on disk, and a marginal series 

 terminating nervures black-brown; hind wings with costal and internal ones 

 rosy- whitish ; three or four blackish spots terminating the nervures on outer 

 margin ; wings below golden-yellow, irrorated with ferruginous atoms ; front wings 

 with base and apex red; a bluish subapical nebula; a geminate pearly brown- 

 zoned spot at end of cell; an oblique discal brown band and three spots between 

 subcostal branches ; hind wings with a red spot at base ; a transverse streak cross- 

 ing cell from costal nervure, a subcostal spot near base, and a semi-circular series 

 of markings, brown; two silver-centred ring-spots at end of cell. 



Localities : — " Brazil ; Yucatan ; Texas ; (white var.). % var. spotless

I have had several males and females from South Florida during the 

 past season. The oblique red-brown band is distinct on under side of 

 fore wings of the male. The color of under side is bright yellow. One 

 female remains in my collection of these Florida examples. The upper 

 side is paler orange, the ground at end of cell deep orange. The oblique 

 band is obsolescent on upper side but distinct below. And the other 

 marks agree with Mr. Butler's description. 



I have a 9 from Kansas, of which the upper side is ochre-yellow 

 rather than orange, and the oblique band is broad and complete on Ijoth 

 sides. Another from Texas is yellow-white on upper side, or sordid- 

 white, the band heavy on both sides. Another ? , Texas, is still whiter, 

 same bands on both sides.

" Male. — Generally smaller than Eubule ; the coloring of the under surface deeper, 

 and the markings much better defined. 



Female. — Above deep golden-yellow, sometimes inclining to orange, or dirty 

 white; front wings with internally dentated, well defined dark-brown margin 

 begini:iing at second-third of costa and terminating at anal angle ; a large black 

 disco-cellular spot, and a subapical series of anguhited lunules between the nerv- 

 ures; also a point of the same color between naedian branches; hind wings with 

 rosy margin; a submarginal series of fine large geminate dark brown spots at 

 termination of nervures; abdominal and basal areas pale rosy; under surface of 

 wings paler; the margin with band and spots as above, but deep rosy; front wings 

 with large geminate silver-centred ring-spot at end of cell, and a zigzag series of 

 irregular characters on disk, all rosy-brown; costa rosy, hind wings with two
