PAAIPHILIDI . THE GENUS PAMPHILA. 1563 



of its brief duration ; probably it is comparatively insignificant in numbers 

 anil its history may prove a curious element in the life of the butterfly ; 

 how the insect passes the winter and what the duration of the chrysalis of 

 each brood may be are questions still requiring solution. Nor have we 

 any knowledge worth mentioning of the peculiarities and habits of the 

 later stages of the caterpillar or of the structure of the chrysalis or cocoon. 

 It would be interesting to know whether the mature caterpillar lives exposed, 

 like the other species in this section. The parasites and the northern 

 limits of the butterfly, even in New England, require investigation.

Doch Alles singt und bliiht und lacht in Helle, 

 Liebkosend griisst der Lenz sein schonstes Kind : 

 Der Schmetterling, die gaukelnde Libelle, 

 Das Bienchen naht, der laue Morgenwiud, 

 Und Alles trinkt aus ihrem duft'gen Quelle. 



ScHULZE. — Die bezauberte Rose. 



Imago (58:6). Head pretty large, clothed with short scales and three transverse 

 rows of very long hairs ; outside of the antennae a slender peucil of slightly spread- 

 ing, nearly equal, arcuate hairs, directed outward, curving over the eye and reaching 

 nearly to its centre. Front considerably tumid, scarcely twice as broad .is long, its 

 front border suddenly and greatly elevated, so that the whole front is brought nearly 

 to the level of the vertex, and thus protruding excessively beyond the front of the 

 eyes, especially anteriorly, separated from the vertex by a slightly impressed, straight, 

 transverse line, connecting the middle of the anterior halves of theantennal bases; the 

 middle third of the front margin is scarcely convex, laterally rounded off to the arcuate 

 sides, which reach the outer border of the antennae ; vertex considerably longer than 

 the front, gently tumid, surpassing, in front more than behind, the level of the eyes, 

 separated from the occiput by a very regular, br.ace-like, slightly impressed, tr.ansverse 

 Une, and baring upon its summit a slightly impressed, gently arcuate line, crossing 

 from a little behind one antenna to the other. Antennae inserted in the middle of the 

 summit, their interior bases separated from each other by two and one-half times the 

 diameter of their bases, the whole antenna about flve-sixths the length of the abdomen, 

 composed of twenty-nine joints, of which thirteen form the club, which is slightly less 

 than one-third of the whole antenna, subcylindrical, depressed, subfusiform, but 

 curved more anteriorly than posteriorly, largest a little beyond the middle, and there as 

 broad as the length of three consecutive joints; the tip is blunt, slightly conical, and
