135. Pamphila Zabulon, Bd. — Lee. 



Expanse of wings 1.2 inches. 



Male. — Upper surface pale dull yellow, the fore wings 

 dusky at the base, the outer fourth blackish brown, den- 

 tate within ; the same extending along the hind margin 

 to near the base, and very narrowly edging the costa. 

 There is an oblique bar at the end of the cell, and a patch 

 beyond, almost touching the apical portion of the border ; 

 beyond this patch the border is narrowed, with a narrow 

 line of yellow intervening. Hind wings bordered all 

 around with blackish brown. 



Under side of fore wings pale yellow, the basal half, 

 except the costal margin, dark brown, the marks of the 

 outer end repeated with less distinctness. The hind 

 wings have a broad, pale yellow, slightly clouded band 

 across the wing beyond the middle; the basal third, 

 except a costal patch, reddish brown. The outer border 

 contains several irregular pale brown spots; and there 

 is a dark brown, yellow-washed streak below the sub- 

 median vein. 



It is 23robable that what is called variety Quadraquina 

 might be called a distinct species as well as Hobomok. 

 The males of these forms differ but little, but the 

 female of Hobomok resembles the male more than 

 does the female of the other forms. 



The eggs (Fig. 82) are pale green, nearly globular, 

 Fig 82 somewhat flattened, and under a strong lens 

 y — V they appear reticulated over the surface with 



(^ J fine six-sided markings. These are deposited 



p. zaboion, on grass, upon which the larvae feed.
