yellow, and the border is much narrower and more incomplete. 

 The larva is green, with a darker dorsal stripe and a white 

 band on the sides, marked with five yellow dots. It feeds on 

 Ononis and Trifolinni. The pupa is green, slightly arched, 

 and sprinkled with ferruginous points. 



Eurema, Hiibner, is another American genus, including 

 smaller species, rarely attaining the expanse of an inch and a 

 half. They are yellow or white, with rather narrow fore-wings 

 and broad rounded hind-wings. In several species the fore-wings 

 are yellow and the hind-wings white. They are more or less 

 bordered with black, and the males have always a black stripe 

 towards the inner-margin of the fore-wings, which band is not 

 unfrequently edged with a narrower orange stripe. The type is 

 E. delia (Cramer), a North American species. It is yellow, 

 marked as described, but there is a large black triangular mar- 

 ginal blotch towards the tip of the hind-wings above instead of 

 a border; en the under side the hind-wings and the tip of the 

 fore-wings are of a dull greyish-red. The larva is green, with a 

 white lateral stripe, and feeds on Trifolium^ &c. The pupa is 

 also green.
