 small, ronnded, pale yellow papillae, each ulvliii; rise to a very short, blackish fnscous 

 hair, as to tlnije the whole snrface with yellow, and which by avoiding the tronsverso 

 Incisures render them more conspicuous and yellowish. Thi-re Is no dorsal line ex<'ept-

 the s<':;ments but the llrst thoracic and last abdoniimd; the last abdominal scKini-iit Is

 sll);htly produced angularly In the middle; oplraclcs pale straw yellow, Inconspicuous; 

 legs and prolegs of tho same green color as the body, tho claws of the former black or 

 blackish. Length of body, 22..> mm. to 2.» mm. ; breadth of body, •l.S.'i mm. to G mm. ; 

 bri-aclth of he.id. :l mm. to 4 mm. 



Chrysalis (85 : 3:1°). The whole upper surface pale or llvlil, the abdomen faintly 

 tinged with salmon both almvc and below, the mctanotum slightly Infiiscatcd; all the 

 appendages of head and thorax, excepting the apical half of basal joint of antennae, 

 the eyes and tho space at the sides of the eyes between them and the antennae i)itchy 

 black or blackish fuscous, the disk of the wings dark ollvacco-fuscous ; eyes slightly 

 Infuscated; prothoraclc stigniata black, the upper surface covered very sparsely with 

 short, delicate, pale, curving h-ilrs, on the hinder part of the abdomen directed back- 

 ward ; crcmaster blackish ; hooks dark rcddlsli ; the wing broadly niammiliatcti in the 

 middle; spiracles colorless; tongue extending a very little beyond the wings but bor- 

 dcrc<l on either side by an extension of membrane, whicli together with the tongue 

 forms a small blunt triangle, reaching nearly to tlie middle of the sixth abdominal seg- 

 ment; wings extending to middle of tifth abilominal segment. Length, H mm. exclu- 

 sive of crcmaster; height, 4.1 mm. ; width of head at eyes, 4.5 mm. 



Geographical distribution (28:7). Tliis butterfly extends over 

 nearly or f|iiite the whole extent of the Allofflianian and Carolinian faunas. 

 In the north, however, it hccomcs very rare toward the Canadian fauna, 

 the extreme loealitie.s where it has been found being Ottawa, rare 

 (Fletcher) and London, Ont. (Saunders), Roekport, O. (Kirtland), 

 southern Michiiran, " not common" (IlarrinL'ton ), northern Illinois (Worth- 

 injjton), Wisconsin, not rare (Hoy) and Aine.s, (Usborn), and Daven- 

 |>ort, lo. (Putnam). It is found in abundance as far south as South 

 Carolina ( Atkinson ) , Georgia ( Abbot, Morrison ) and Florida, — Appalachi- 

 cola (Chapman, Thaxter). .'^t. John's Kiver (Norton), Crescent City 

 ( Hubbard) ; Okahumpka (.M:iynard) anil even Florida Keys (Maynard). 

 It has also been taken in Dallas (Boll) and according to Aaron in south- 

 em Texas. It has more frequently been taken in the interior than most of 

 the species of the genus, f<)r besides the localities given above, it is given 

 from varioii.s parts of New York and Pennsylvania and from Missouri 

 ( Hiley), and is even reported from Colorado, including among other sta- 

 tions the top of Douglas Mountain (Putnam, Lintner), and New Mexico 

 (Snow), but I think these lf»calities may neol veriKcation. It is also 

 stated by Uoisduval and later by Hutlcr to be an inhabitant of California,
