ANTHOCARIS I. 



brought in company with a number of Anthocaris Genutia and Pieris Virginien- 

 sis. Not long after, a collection of butterflies, made by Mr. Boll, in Texas, and 

 belono-ing to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, at Cambridge, were sent me 

 by Dr. Hagen for examination, and among them was a male of Olympia. Since 

 that time I have been informed by Dr. L. K. Hayhurst, that he has once taken 

 the same species in Missouri. Mr. G. M. Dodge also has taken a pair at his 

 former residence in Bureau County, Illinois ; thus showing a wide distribution 

 for so extremely rare a species. In April, 1873, another fine male was taken in 

 my garden at Coalburgh. 



Olympia is more delicate and less strong of wing than Ausonides, and of a 

 low, uncertain, and tremulous flight. In West Virginia it accompanies Genutia, 

 and might easily be mistaken for the female of that species, frequenting, with it, 

 cultivated grounds — gardens and meadows.
