yellow. Wings rounded at tips, the hind pair slightly angular; veins and 

 veinlets pale greenish. A variety, which is common, has a brown or reddish 

 spot above upon each side of the head, contiguous to the eye, in which an ocel- 

 lus or small simple eye appears to be situated. Wings expand one inch. This 

 is an abundant species the last of September and in October, both in this State 

 and in Illinois, occurring upon the foliage of apple and peach trees, and also 

 upon various wild bushes and weeds. 



28. (27.) Color straw yellow. 



The Counterfeit Golden-eye ( C. pseudographa). Very like the preceding 

 species, but of a straw yellow color without any tint of green, the head brighter 

 cream yellow, the cheeks tawny yellow with a short black stripe running down- 

 wards from the under side of the eye, the antennas, legs and feet, and veins and 

 veinlets of the wings pallid white, the wings rounded at their tips, the abdo- 

 men with a smooth more clear white stripe along the middle of the back, upon 

 each side of which at the apex of each segment is a pale tawny yellow spot. A 

 variety has a band of this last color upon the apex of each segment of the abdo- 

 men. Though so closely related to the weeping golden-eye, and associated with 

 it, it is evidently a distinct species and is easily discriminated. The wings 

 expand one inch. Several specimens were captured upon apple trees in nor- 

 thern Illinois the fore part of October.

 yellow between the eye and the mouth.
