214 LEPIDOPTERA. 



his Catl. Butts. N. Am. proposes the name nig for a variety 

 which he says has " all the wings obscured with blackish, 

 ocelli obsolete." 



The type of flora Edwards, came from Palatka, Florida. 

 It was also taken by Dr. Wittfeld at Georgiana (Indian 

 River), Florida. It is lighter in color than clyton, being 

 bright orange-ferruginous. It is figured in Edwards' Butts. 

 Nth. Amer., 3, pi. 1, Apatura. I do not consider it more 

 than a topomorph. 



There is a form of clyton found in Texas that appears to 

 be worthy of a varietal name. I have had it sent to me for 

 identification, especially the female. As it causes confusion 

 and collectors do not seem to be able to make it fit any of 

 the described forms, a name for it seems desirable. I pro- 

 pose the name texana. 



The male expands 46 mm. Primaries buff (orange-ferru- 

 ginous). There is an outer row of four small, round, yel- 

 lowish white spots and an inner row of seven spots of the 

 same character but somewhat larger on the primaries. The 

 secondaries are the same color with the usual six black dots. 

 These spots are repeated below and are quite small as com- 

 pared with those of flora. The primaries are practically 

 devoid of black or fuscous and the secondaries also, except 

 the spots. The female expands 60 mm. and is the same 

 color as the male. The maculation on the primaries and 

 secondaries is like that of the male except that the spots are 

 relatively larger, and those of the primaries not so white or 

 distinctly defined. The male type was taken at Round Moun- 

 tain, Texas, July 31, 1895, by F. G. Schaupp, and the female 

 near Corpus Christi by S. F. Aaron (see Papilio, 4, 179, 

 1884). We have a number of specimens taken in Brunet 

 County, Texas, April 24th, that are likely the first genera- 

 tion of texana. They are much darker in color ; the spots 

 in the primaries are white or whitish like those in texana. 

 This is probably the form Aaron speaks of as flora Edw. 



The species or forms in this genus are rare in collections 

 and many of them lack proper data. Additional material
