obliquely 3 the distance to the outer margin. The discal cell is more or 
less maculate with black and there are a number of black angular blotches 
so arranged as to form an interrupted oblique band from the costa near 
base to the inner margin near hind angle: the outer margin narrowly 
black: Secondaries with a row of small ocellate black spots near outer 
margin. 
The larvae (Harris 291) are found on the thistie, sunflower, holly- 
hock, burdock and other rough leaved plants. Expands 2 to 3 inches.

Differs from the preceeding by the more dull color of the wings 
which never have the roseate tinge almost universally present in Cardwi, 
by the smaller size, and by the complete black band crossing the middle 
of discal cell of primaries. i 
The iarva is described by Mr. Hy. Edwards (Proc. Cal. Ac. WV. Se. 
IT, 725) and feeds on Malvaceae and Urtica. Expands 2 inch. fad.

Resembles the preceeding but is evidently distinct from it and all 
others in this genus by having only two very large ocellate spots near 
hind margin of secondaries beneath. ‘The caterpillar resembles that of 
Cardui and feeds on the same plants. (Harris 292). Expands 2 to 3

The generic characters are much as in Vanessa but the primaries are 
not at all angulated and but slightly excavated below tip. The club of 
the antenne is shorter broader and much more flattened. The only 
species is:

Wings smoky; primaries with a large ocellate black spot centred with blue 
near middle of margin; two reddish spots in discal cell and an oblique white band from 
costa toward but not reaching the outer margin. Secondaries with 2 large ocellate spots 
near margin and a narrow reddish subterminal band. Beneath pale: ocellate spot of 
primaries reproduced. Secondaries with 2 small ocellate spots. 
The species found here is generally considered to be the variety coenza 
and not the typical /aviza. 
Expands 2 to 24 inches. Had. Mid. and So. Sts,
