EASTERN UNITED STATES. 91 



Aberr. Calverleyii, Grote. Two specimens of this 

 singular form have been taken, one a male, in August, 

 1863, by Mr. Louis Fischer, in the neighborhood of 

 New Lots, Queens County, Long Island, and another, 

 a female, in April, 1869, by Mr. T. L. Mead, near En- 

 terprise, Florida ; both being suffused forms, probably 

 caused by the action of cold on the chrysalides soon after 

 pupating. 



In the male the upper surface has the basal two-thirds 

 black without marks, and the remainder of the wings 

 yellow, a narrow outer margin, and tail black. The 

 boundary between the black and yellow on the fore 

 wings is dentate, with the black extending out on the 

 veins. The hind wings have a narrow subterminal 

 crenate orange line, and an orange patch in place of the 

 ocellus. 



The under side is like the upper, except that on the 

 hind wings there are elongate orange patches between 

 the veins, leaving narrow yellow lines along the veins 

 and between the ends of these patches and the black on 

 the basal part, the subterminal line being dusky. The 

 orange extends a little on to the fore wings as a partial 

 terminal border. 



The female is like the male, except that there is more 

 black along the veins ; the outer margin of the wing is 

 more broadly bordered with black ; there is a yellow bar 

 at the end of the cell of the fore wings ; the hind wings 

 have two rows of orange intervenular patches in the 

 yellow field, the inner round and the outer elongate tri- 

 angular, with gray spaces between ; and the ocellus has a 

 few black scales. 



The under side is like the upper, except that there are
