Described from 23,2?. 



Caterpillar. Last stage. Head oval, olilique, densely pubescent, sliijlitly granulated, 

 light bro^v^l. Thoracic shield light brown ; body slender, pale green, finely pubescent, 

 the last two segments deeper green. Length, 25 mm. (After Chapman.) 



Chrysalis. Cylindrical, dull green, pubescent, especially about both extremities; 

 the he.ad case blunt, wing cases smooth, a pair of flat tubercles on the ventral side 

 of the 4th-8th abdominal segments ; cremaster broad, triangular. Length, 20 mm. (After 

 Chapman.) 



This is a southern butterfly (32:6), a member of the Carolinian fauna 

 and found to all appearance only on its southern border along the Gulf, 

 having been first reported from New Orleans (Norton), and since taken in 

 abundance in Florida in various places, as at Indian River (Palmer), Haul- 

 over (Schwartz), Gainesville (Miss Peirce) and Brevard Co. (Witt- 

 feld) . It is also reported by Strecker as found in Georgia. 



Its only claim to a place in this work is because it was taken in a sino'le 

 instance near Albany, N. Y. by Meske in 1866, according to Lintner. 



It is an early butterfly, since specimens obtained at the end of March 

 at Indian River by Palmer were in a bad condition, but apart from this 

 single item we know nothing of its life histoiy. 



Its occurrence in New York shows that it must occur in many other 

 places, so that we may look for a large extension of the region marked on 

 the map. Its life history is of course of the first importance.

The color'd fop, the butterfly, 

 Toys with her, kisses, round her flutters,

 passing about one-flfth way around the eye. Front tumid, not greatly protuberant, ex-
