27. Genus: Kwchloe Hhn. 



Of this genus, wliiidi is represented in the Palaearctic Kegion by nine species, there are only three in 

 the American Region. Antennae and palpi sliaped as in the following genus Anthochnnn. Of the five subcostal 

 veins only one arises before the apex of the cell. The upper radial is coincident with the subcostal almost to 

 Vs. — Egg spindle-shaped, with small protuberances at the sides. Larva slender with small head. Pupa pointed 

 at both ends, the breast ordy a little raised. 



E. ausonides Lite. (2s a) is distrilnited fi'om Colorado to California, also occurring on Vancouver Island. fn(,su(yM/c,' 

 Upper surface white with lilack median spot and grey-black apical and subapical markings on the foicwing. 

 Under surface white with black median spot on the forewing and yellow-green ,, parsley "-marking on tlie hind- 

 wing and the apex of the forewing. — Larva on Crucifers, cylindrically slender, head small, round, green, black- 

 spotted, body entirely covered with black granules, each of which bears a short hair, longitudinally marked 

 with three pale-coloured stripes, a dorsal one and one at each side, the interspaces yellow, the lateral stripes 

 margined beneath with white to yellow : ventral legs greenish yellow, thoracic legs black. Pupa slender, cylin- 

 drical, thickest in the middle, unifoindy pointful, gr(\v-lirown, and covered with fine dark longitudinal stripes. 



E. creusa Dhl. d- Heir. (28 a), from the Pocky Mountains, is similar to the preceding species, but the rmifia. 

 black median sjiot of the forewing is large and square. The markings of the under surface are grass-green and 

 the light spots on the hindwing are silver-white. Almost nothing is known of the early stages. 



E. hyantis Edw. (28 a), from California, is above very similar to crei/.sa, but on the underside of the hijantia. 

 hindwing more yellow-green and the spots are there only white but not shiny. 



28. Genus: Autliooliaris Bdr. 



This genus is only represented in America by four species. It differs from the preceding genus in that 

 two subcostal veins arise before the discocellular. The upper radial is only shortly coincident with the sub- 

 costal. Larva slender, narrower at both ends, with soft hairs. Pupa canoe-shaped, with strongly projecting 

 breast (boot-shape), produced into a point at the ends, weakly keeled on the back. 



A. sara Luc. (= flora WriyJd) (28 a) is distributed all over the United States of North America. Upper sani. 

 surface white with large orange-red apical spot, which is margined with black distally and proximally. Hind- 

 wing white, ab. reakirtii Edw. (28 a) differs from .sara by the presence of black dots at the distal mai-gin of mikirtii. 

 the hindwing. The $ of sara has slightly yellowish upper surface and smaller and paler orange spot. ab. Stella slclln. 

 Edw. has in the ^ the bordering round the orange spot less black, also the spot itself is smaller and paler; the 

 $ has yellow upper surface, ab. Julia Edw. (28 a) differs from sara in that the proximal black bordering of the jiiJhi. 

 orange spot is interrupted and the hindwing has larger black marginal spots. — Pjarlier stages unknown. 



A. thoosa Scudd. (28 a), from California (which is only known to me from the figure), shows in pattern thoosa. 

 no difference between the sexes, only the ground-colour of the (^ above and beneath is white, that of the $ yel- 

 lowish. Is probably scarcely a separate species, but a large, strongly marked form of sara. 



A. cethura FIdr. (= angelina Bdv., cooperi Belir) (28 a), from California, has in the (J the distal margin rdhnrti. 

 of the forewing somewdiat incurved. Upper surface white with small oiange spot, very small dark apical mark- 

 ings, and black median spot. 9 with stronger black markings, ab. morrisoni Edw. has larger and darker orange viurrlsdiii.
