From the foregoing- table it will be clearly seen that the principal so- 

 called points of distinction consist of describing the same characters 

 in different terms. The color character, the most marked difference 

 indicated above, seems to be of about the same value as it is in Terias 

 Nicippe, in which specimens grading from pale lemon-yellow to deep 

 orange are frequently found in the same brood. 



Callidryas Agarithe, Boisd. Very common. 



This is the species found commonly in the southern portion of the 

 U. S. It may be separated from Argante (^which we have never seen 

 from the U. S. ) by the continuous band on the under side of the pri- 

 maries, (see Edw. Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. IX, 13.) All the females 

 taken were of the white variety; three of them were only i^ inches 

 in expanse. 



Kricogonia Lyside, Godt. , var. Terissa, Luc. (Summer form.) 

 Very common. 



var. Lanice, Lintn., (Winter form. ) Moderately common. 



The summer form ( Terissd) may be told by the prominence of the 

 short black band on the costal edge of the secondaries above, while it 

 is frequently wanting, or nearly obsolete, in the winter form i^Lanice.) 

 Mr. Lintner's type specimen of Lanice ( $ ) which he has kindly sent 

 us is a small specimen of the winter form of Lyside; we have specimens 

 that are smaller. As the short black band on the costa of secondaries 

 ( Terissa) disappears, the presence of the indistinct band of intraner- 

 vular dusky spots on secondaries beneath Lanice can be seen. The 

 type of Lanice is a little darker yellow at the base of the wings than 

 our specimens; this may have been caused by cyanide; it certainly has 

 no specific value. We have also many females which agree with the 

 description of Lanice. We regret that Mr. Lintner has described this 

 as a new species; we retain the name to designate the winter form. 



Kricogonia Fantasia, Bud. Moderately common. Taken 



during the summer with Lyside, \'ar. Terissa. Fantasia differs from 

 Lyside in the general deeper shade, approaching yellow, in the absence 

 of the sulphur-yellow patch at base of wings, by the fuscous apex of 

 the primaries, and by the somewhat nacre reflection of secondaries 

 beneath. 



Colias Caesonia, StoU. Rather common. 



Colias Chrysotheme, Esper. ^ Keezvaydin, Edw. ■ Common, 

 var. EuRYTHEME, Boisd. Common. 



Terias Nicippe, Cram. Occasional. 



Terias Mexicana, Boisd. One specimen taken on Guadeloupe 

 River. 



Terias Lisa, Bd.-Lec. Common. 9 var., Alba, Strecker, 



both pure white with no apparent markings beneath, and greenish 

 white with distinct markings, also common. 



Danais Archippus, Fab. Occasional.
