120 ^^^ BUTTERFLIES OF THE 



two rows of elongate, wavy, ferruginous and brown 

 patches, one of these, of three spots, extending from near 

 the apex obliquely inward, and the other, of two spots, 

 submarginal and nearly parallel with the outer margin. 



The hind wings are similarly marked, except that the 

 first row has only two spots ; there being also six more 

 or less distinct round spots near the base, — two above the 

 cell, one in the cell, two below the cell, and one at the 

 insertion of the wings. There are also three others 

 farther out below the cell. The fore wings are usually 

 sprinkled with fine ferruginous scales. 



Thorax black above, the head and prothorax more or 

 less rosy, abdomen yellow; all the under parts yellow. 

 Antennae rose tipped with ferruginous. 



In the larval state this species is said to feed on the 

 species of Cassia. 



Southern States to West Virginia and Ohio, Illinois, 

 Iowa, Arizona, Southern California; occasionally in 

 New York and -Rhode Island. 



19. Catopsilia Senn^, Linn. 



Expanse of wings from 2 to 2.75 inches. 



Male. — Upper surface clear lemon-yellow, the same

 border of intervenular spots of the same shade of yellow 

 as the wings, and the scales composing these spots are 

 slightly raised, as though placed over the others, so that 

 in certain lights they seem lighter than the other parts, 

 the remainder of the wing having in the same lights a 

 slight greenish tinge. On the fore wings, beginning at 

 the costa, those in the first and second subcostal inter- 

 spaces rea/ch almost to the base of these spaces, the same
