Z?eH/fl/^s.— Fruhstorfer separates C. pomona from C. crocale 

 chiefly on the difference in the sexual organs. Superficially the 

 differences are slight. The antennae are red and not black, and 

 white silver dots occur in the disc of the underside of both 

 wings. The females show lesser variability in colour than crocale. 

 C. pomona is essentially a butterfly of the woods, generally flying 

 high among dense jungle, while C. crocale is usually found in open 

 country among flowers. The habits of C. pyranthe on Barkuda 

 are similar to those of C. pomona. 



It is probable that the species of Catopsilia do not breed on 

 the island, as they are frequently seen flying over from the main- 

 land. Moreover, there are on Barkuda no plants of the genus 

 Cassia, on which their caterpillars are said to feed exclusively, 

 while Cassias are abundant on the neighbouring mainland.
