(1) Ageronia feronia (Linnaeus), Plate LVII, <? (The White- 

 skirted Calico). 



The ground-color of the under side is broadly white, while 

 that of the other species in our fauna, A. fornax, is yellow. 

 They may thus be easily told apart. 



GENUS VICTORINA BLANCHARD 

 (THE MALACHITES). 



Large butterflies, conspicuously marked with pale green 

 spots surrounded by darker color. On the under side the 

 wings are paler, and have a satiny lustre, the edges of the light 

 spots on this side marbled with brown. Neuration of fore 

 wing singular in that the upper and lower discocellulars are 

 wanting and the radials seem to spring from the lower side of 

 the subcostal before the middle; the third median is strongly 

 bowed upward. Hind wing tailed at end of the third median 

 nervule. 



There are five species of the genus thus far known, all be- 

 longing to the American tropics, one of which occurs in Florida 

 and Texas.
