Junonia genoveva Cram. (PI. IX, Fig. 6). 



We have received from our collector in Chokoloskee, Fla., a few 

 specimens of what seems to be genoveva Cram, listed by Kirby as a 

 West Indian species ; these specimens differ from coenia in the form 

 of the large black eye-spot on primaries; in coenia (PI. IX, Fig. 5) 

 this is encircled with gray-brown of various shades which is well- 

 defined outwardly by a black line ; beyond this towards the base of the 

 wing the white subapical banding extends downward almost to the 

 anal angle; in genoveva the black eye-spot shows none of this but is 

 merely surrounded by a rather suffused orange shade on both upper 

 and under sides. The white subapical patches are also more or less 

 tinged with orange. In our present lists the species is placed as a 

 synonym of coenia, although having many years priority; we think 

 however it represents a good species and would list it as such. We 

 have several specimens from Miami, Fla., where typical coenia also 

 occurs. Apparently genoveva is confined to subtropical Florida. Our 

 figures illustrate the above-mentioned differences. 



Basilarchia arthemis Drury. 



It seems to have been generally overlooked by authors that the 

 type locality of this species as given by Drury is New York, which, 

 if we have regard to the time of the description (1773), probably 

 means the vicinity of New York City; Scudder in his Butt. East. 

 States, Vol. I, p. 299 states that it has not been taken south of Mass- 

 achusetts and but rarely in this State; Newcomb, in his description 

 of albofasciata states that most of the Massachusetts records of ar- 

 themis as well as those from Long Is., Staten Is. and Jersey City 

 refer to albofasciata and not arthemis. What then did these authors 

 consider to be the true arthemis? 



Drury's figure in Westwood's edition shows a white banded form 

 with distinct red submarginal spots on secondaries preceded towards 

 the base of the wing by green lunules ; on the under side these red 

 spots appear as on the upper side and are separated from the white 

 band and from the marginal green lunules by broad black spaces ; 

 the basal area is reddish tinged. We have before us a series of speci- 

 mens received from a dealer, some simply with the State label New 

 York, others purporting to have been taken in Sullivan and Ulster 

 Co's. ; others from Woodland, N. J., and Passaic Co., N. J., and six 

 bred specimens from Scranton, Pa., sent us as albofasciata; besides 

 these we have one pair of the types of albofasciata, a $ from Sharon,
