ia LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



somewhat intermediate between the Lycanidce and Lemoniida. 

 In Lyc&na, &c., the legs are slender, and no such spine is 

 present. The type of this genus is T. ballus (Fabricius), which 

 inhabits Southern France and Spain in very early spring. The 

 male is brown, with traces of a sub-marginal orange band at 

 the anal angle of the hind-wings. The female has orange fore- 

 wings, with brown borders, and brown hind-wings with a broad 

 orange sub-marginal band. The under side of the fore-wings 

 is like the upper side of the female, but the base is green, and 

 the orange markings are more coppery, and marked with three 

 rows of black spots. The hind-wings are green, with a broad 

 border of pale brown. The larva is yellowish-white, with a row 

 of reddish dorsal spots bordered with brownish-red, and bi- 

 sected by a blue line. It feeds on Lotus hispidus in May.

The type of this genus is a small black-and-tawny North 

 American Butterfly, with long slender pointed palpi, com- 

 paratively short and stout antennae, a slightly concave hind- 

 margin to the fore-wings, and rounded hind-wings. It is 

 mentioned here on account of the peculiar habits of the larva. 

 The type is,
