Height of ess;, 1.1 imii. ; brciuilli at summit, .07 mm. ; in middii', .r.i! mm. ; at broailest 

 part of base, .2 iiiiii. Described from a specimen mounted <in a slide received from 

 C. V. Riley. 



Caterpillar. Last stage (76 : 2, 4). Head (79 : 67) and body of a pale green with a 

 bluish or olivaceous tint, particularly on the body above. The head is variegated by 

 the blackness of the larjier tubercles and the front row of ocelli; mouth parts tes- 

 taceous. Body ornamented by a briirht yellow sliumatal band which extends its wliole 

 length and is sometimes edged with a clearer tint and deepens to orange apically, and 

 besides is made more conspicuous by broal^ing in two unequal parts what would other- 

 wise be a large, stigmatal, dark blue or bluish black spot on the middle of each scjimont 

 from the second thoracic to the seventh or eighth abdominal ; this spot is better 

 developed above than below the stigmatal band, is made up of more or less confluent 

 transverse stripes and is deepest in color on such larger tubercles as it embraces ; the 

 other larger tubercles of the body are black, sometimes surrounded at base with sky- 

 blue. The under surface is yellowish green, paler along the middle. The stigmata are 

 white and are situated in the lower half of the yellow band. The legs and prolegs are yel- 

 lowish, the claws reddish. Length, 40-45 mm. ; breadth, about 5 mm. ; breadth of head, 

 2.75 mm. 



The plate represents the yellow band as too obscure. Described from blown speci- 

 mens, aided by diflerent colored drawings and by notes of Dr. Juan Gundlach. 



Chrysalis (84: 60-G2). Generally of a pale glaucous green with yellow stripes; 

 gometimes pale yellowish green : sometimes roseate, minutely dotted dorsally with 

 yellow; sometimes pale green, dotted similarly with pale and testaceous points. The 

 antennal sheaths forming the margin of the anterior ridge are usually yellow and the 

 whole lateral ridge from the antennae to the cremaster is distinctly though narrowly 

 marked with yellow, as are often all the veins of the wings. The dorsal line is further 

 marked, but generally less distinctly .and much more broadly, with yellow sometimes 

 edged witli white ; or it may be dull green edged on the abdomen with yellow ; the 

 wings are sometimes flecked with brown. The spiracles are pale testaceous ; the 

 minute raised points on the ventral side of the cremaster and the cremastral hooks 

 are fuscous. Length in a direct line, 30 mm. ; the same following the middle line of 

 the body, 31.5 mm. ; length of frontal tubercle beyond front of eye, fi.5 mm. ; breadth 

 at shoulders, 6.2 mm. ; depth at middle of body, 12.5 mm. ; breadth of wing cases, 

 11 mm. 



Described from alcoholic specimens received from Dr. Kiley, aided by drawings of 

 Judge Chapman and notes by him and Dr. Gundlach. 



(Distribution 25 : 5). This butterfly belongs to the Carolinian fauna, 

 but spreads far beyond both to the north and south. It extends down the 

 Atlantic coast to the Florida Keys (Palmer) and along the Gulf coast to 

 Texas (Belfrage), and is found also in New Mexico (Snow), Arizona, 

 where a variety was found at a height of ten thousand feet on Mount Gra- 

 ham (Morrison), and southern California (H. Edwards). South of the 

 United States I have seen specimens from Mexico (Salle, Palmer), 

 Guatemala (VanPatten), Tehuantepec (Sumichrast) and Cuba (Gundlach, 

 Scudder) ; it is also said to occur in Jamaica, Porto Rico and Antigua 

 (Gundlach) and is credited to Brazil and the Argentine Republic, and 

 even to Patagonia (Berg). It sometimes occurs in considerable abun- 

 dance in the southern half of the AUeghanian fauna and even invades the 

 northern iialf, iiaving been reported from West Virginia "occasional" 

 (Edwards), Maryland "rare" (Uhler), Philadelphia "very rare" (Blake), 

 eastern Kansas "rare" (Snow), Iowa (Edwards), Wisconsin (Hoy),
