Much like the preceeding beneath; but the silver is glossed with 
blue, the lines crossing it are yellow and are wider, the secondaries have 
an admixture of blue scales most distinct near anal angle, and there have 
a number of ocellate spots, reproducing the same on upper side. Above 
the color is paler with four distinct transverse shades on both wings and 
five small white spots placed in two series near the apex. 
Expands 2—2.5 inches. Haé, Texas and Southward.

In this and the following species the color is fulvous crossed by fine 
black lines; beneath, brown suffused with bluish grey, much as in 
Vanessa interrogations. ‘The apices of primaries are more acute and are 
distinctly pointed; most obviously so in the present species. ‘The se- 
condaries are broader and the internal margin is somewhat shorter, The 
present species has the lines above straight, and the 2d and 3d join near 
anal angle of secondaries.

This species is readily distinguished from the preceeding by the apex 
of primaries which is not truncate, and by the less emarginate apex of 
secondaries: the color is darker and the 2d black line is distinctly angu- 
late on the median vein. : 
Expands 3 inches. Had, Fla., Tex,, West Indies. 
VICTORINA, Blanch. 
Body stout, wings large: secondaries with the outer margin very 
deeply scolloped, and with a short broad tail. Antenne long, straight 
and slender, club gradual, with a fine groove at inner side, 
A single very large and distinctly marked species is credited to our 
fauna.
