   by 
  a 
  good 
  specimen, 
  showing 
  the

   confirming

  The 
  specimen 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  National 
  Museum 
  is 
  

   not 
  so 
  well 
  preserved 
  as 
  the 
  type, 
  but 
  it 
  shows 
  the 
  abdomen 
  and 
  more 
  

   or 
  less 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wings. 
  The 
  abdomen 
  is 
  quite 
  broad 
  (largely 
  as 
  

   the 
  result 
  of 
  pressure, 
  no 
  doubt), 
  dusky, 
  with 
  the 
  sutures 
  rather 
  

   broadly 
  pallid. 
  The 
  venation 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wing 
  is 
  partly 
  preserved 
  

   and 
  is 
  as 
  in 
  Chlorippe 
  and 
  allied 
  genera. 
  The 
  shape 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wing 
  

   seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  as 
  in 
  normal 
  females 
  of 
  the 
  genus. 
  It 
  is 
  difficult 
  

   to 
  make 
  out 
  the 
  markings 
  of 
  the 
  hind 
  wing, 
  but 
  the 
  submarginal 
  

   pale 
  band 
  is 
  faintly 
  indicated, 
  and 
  the 
  usual 
  row 
  of 
  spots 
  in 
  the 
  

   interspaces 
  was 
  evidently 
  present, 
  though 
  apparently 
  they 
  were 
  light, 
  

   without 
  dark 
  centers. 
  There 
  are 
  also 
  indications 
  of 
  a 
  pale 
  spot 
  at 
  

   the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  cell 
  between 
  the 
  media 
  and 
  cubitus, 
  one 
  of 
  the 
  series 
  

   of 
  pale 
  spots 
  crossing 
  the 
  hind 
  wing 
  in 
  males 
  of 
  modern 
  Chlorippe.
