up leaves and tying them with silk. There are three species 

 in the United States, two of which we figure. 



(1) Pyrrhanoea andria (Scudder), Plate LV, tf (The Goat- 

 weed Butterfly). 



Bright red above, margins dusky; on under side gray dusted 

 with brown scales. Females marked by incomplete pale bands 

 on the limbal area. Expanse cf 2.50; 9 > 3.00 inches. Larva 

 feeds on Croton capitatum. Ranges from Illinois and Nebraska 

 to Texas. 



(2) Pyr.'ancea morrisoni (Edwards), Plate LVI, ? (Mor- 

 r son's Goatv eed Butterfly). 



More brilliantly and deeply red on upper side than preceding 

 species. Both male and female have the wings with bands of 

 lighter color on the limbal area, but these are not solid, as in the 

 female of P. andria, but made up of spots, as shown in the 

 figure. Expanse 2.25-2.50 inches. 



Found in Arizona and Mexico. f 



The genus which is here engaging our attention is one 

 which is wonderfully well represented in the New World, 

 where it takes the place of the magnificent insects belonging
