SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES. 



repeatedly bred from the egg, and the preparatory stages were described by me 

 in " Psyche," vol. iii., p. 123, 1880. 



Satyrus Pegala, Fab. — Under S. AlojJe I had occasion to speak of Perjala, 

 a species mostly confined to the southern part of the Gulf States. " Pegala is 

 restricted to the vicinity of the Gulf of Mexico and a strip along the Atlantic 

 coast, at least as far to the north as Charleston, S. C. I cannot learn tliatPf77«/« 

 and Alope fly in the same localities or even in the same districts." Within the 

 last two years, Mr. E. M. Aaron has discovered a few examples of Pccjala in 

 southern New Jersey, and I have seen some of them which were taken by him. 

 They are like examples from Georgia, except that they are smaller. Mr. Aaron 

 writes me that at the same time he took many Alojie, but saw no evidence 

 of any intergrading between the two species. Each was persistent to its own 

 type. There is no reason as yet to doubt that Pegala and Alope are distinct 

 species. 



Chioxobas Califorxica. — The figures were made from a pair, two of four 

 collected bv Mr. Lorquin, and in Dr. Boisduval's collection. Since the Plate was 

 published Mr. Morrison has found the species abundant on Mt. Hood, Oregon 

 (1880). A series shows it to be constantly distinct from Iduna, which has 

 also of recent years been taken in considerable numbers by Messrs. Baron and 

 Behrens, in northern California. 



LiBYTiiEA Baciimani. — The complete larval history was not known when 

 the Plate issued, in 1874. I give it as follows : — 



Young Larva. — Length just from egg, .04 inch ; cylindrical ; the segments 

 a little rounded, and four times creased transversely ; covered with a fine short 

 down ; color green, semi-translucent ; head twice as broad as 2 ; obovoid, a little 

 depressed at suture, the vertices rounded ; sparsely pilose ; color yellow-brown. 

 To first moult about 2 days, in July- 

 After first moult : Length at 12 hours, .08 and .09 inch ; color brownish-green, 

 the segments curved ; head a little broader than 2, shape as before ; color yel- 

 low-green. To next moult 2 days. 



After second moult : Length at 12 hours, .12 inch ; same shape ; upper side 

 dark green ; a faint shade of yellow over and along basal ridge, rather macular ; 

 under side, legs, and feet lighter green ; the segments much specked with faint 

 white on the ridges caused by the creases ; on 3, high up, a black dot on either 

 side ; head as before ; color light green. To next moult 2 days. 



After third moult : Length at 12 hours, .26 to .28 inch; color dull green, yel- 

 lowish along ami over basal ridge ; specked with pale white, or yellow-white, as 

 before ; the blatyk dots as before ; head green. To next moult about 2 days. 



After fourth moult : Length at 12 hours, .4 inch. Four days later the larva 

 reached maturity.
