Limiseus says of this species, " Habitat in Indiis," which may be either taken for the 

 East or West Indies ; Roesel calls it " die indiatiische goldborte ;" and Donovan states 

 that his specimen was received from China. The real locality, however, not only of this 

 butterfly, but of all the species of the section to which it belongs, is South America and 

 the West Indies. M. Boisduval gives the Argante of Hubner, Lolia of Godart, Aricia of 

 Cramer, Melanippe Cramer, and Larra of Fabricius, as varieties of the female of this 

 species. 



The plant represented in the plate is ]\ldastoma Ch'inens'is.
