[Not Pieris .sniila.v Donovan nor Papilio 

 dolia Cram.] 



Thy citron-yellow wings are bright. 



And soft the rosy fringe they wear. 

 And rays of gloom" and silver bright 



Adorn thee, blossom of the air! 

 The Cassia, on whose silken flower 



Thy fragile life its being fills, 

 What hast thou garnered of its dower 



To waft thee where thy spirit wills? 

 Laura F. Hinsdale.- 



Terias lisa. 



Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? 

 Thou art more lovely and more temperate.

Imago (7 : 4 . 5 ; 15:6). Head covered above with blackish brown scales, enliv- 

 ened by pretty long, ferrugineo-orange hairs or long, slender scales, especially around 

 the edges of the eyes and in a V-shaped line directed backward, having its angle be- 

 tween the antennae; ou either side in front, between the base of the antennae and the 

 tip of the erect palpi, is a thick, greatly elevated cluster of scales, the opposite ones 

 united above and thus forming in front a semi-infundibulif orm cavity ; the exterior 

 scales are yellow, occasionally slightly tinged with orange, the Interior ones orange 

 red mingled with black, and the apical and superior ones mostly blackish brown. An.

 a nearly continuous white line, widening at the tip of each joint, leaving only the outer 

 upper edge free of white scales ; generally tlie upper surface of the whole club is 

 orange, dusky along the middle; under surface orange only at the tip, including two 

 or three joints, but in the amount and position of the orange, there is considerable 

 dUlerence, Palpi at base covered with long, silvery white scales, the exterior ones 

 tinged very slightly with greenish yellow ; beyond they become more and more tinged 

 with yellow and above they are quite yellow, the tip and to some extent the upper half 

 of tlie front enlivened with orange; sometimes nearly all the exterior surface is 

 tinged with orange; lower portion of sides of head yellow. Tongue pale fusco-lute- 

 ous, pale luteous at base. 



Prothoracic lobes furnished with long, forward curving, ferrugineo-orange scales or 

 hairs overarching the head ; rest of thorax covered above with long, delicate, greenish 

 yellow hairs; patagia with a tuft of bright yellow scales at the base, the remainder 

 with blackish brown scales mainly concealed by long, greenish yellow hairs; tliorax
