LIMENITIS I. 



in Stoney Clove and upon tlie Clove road, soutli of tlie Mountain House, but all 

 were nuicli rubbed and broken. Tliey should be sought for early in July in that 



region. 



In the collection of Mr Charles Wilt, of Philadelphia, are two females, from 

 one of which the figure in the plate is taken. These specimens are rather lar- 

 o-er than those found in the Catskills. They are understood to have been taken 

 in the Mountains of Pennsylvania, but in what locality is not now known, as they 

 were suppose<l to be a variety of Ursula. 



Proserpina has the same habits, and, in the Catskills, the same season, as Ar- 

 theniis, Avith which it associates, frequenting the forest jiaths, rarely seen in the open 

 countrv, and always attracted by any animal matter. It is much less abundant 

 than Arthemis, andjs more shy and difficult of capture, flying into the trees at the 

 sliohtest alarm. It unites the characters of Ursula and Arthemis in a singular 

 manner. Excepting the white band on primaries, the uj^jjer surface is that of Ur- 

 sula, while the lower is very near Arthemis, varying in shades of ground color from 

 dark to light brown and reddish-brown as does the latter species. 



Mr. Bcudder has not noticed Proserpina among the White Mountains, but it 

 will probably be found there.
