Black with a wide band, varying from pale green to pale bluish in 
color, complete on secondaries, on primaries interrupted at apical half; 
the primaries have also a more or less complete row of sub-apical large 
white spots. Beneath the ground color is paler, but the markings are 
reproduced, the green band being margined with brown on secondaries. 
Expands 4 inches. Had, S.W. Tex, and Southward.

This genus differs from Limenitis, so far as I can see, only in the 
somewhat shorter broad wings; apices of primaries more produced and 
internal margin of secondaries longer.*

Easily distinguished by the large subapical fulvous patch of prima- 
ries: color black, a white band crossing both wings, angulate beyond 
the cell on primaries, and gradually narrewing on secondaries to hind 
angle. : ~ 
Beneath paler, secondaries dusted with yellow: markings of upper 
surface reproduced and in addition bands of pale blue and yellow cross- 
ing the cell, and a submarginal band of crescents: secondaries with a wide 
submarginal band, a shade accompanying white band and two transverse 
bands near base also pale bluish. 
Expands 2.5 inches. fad. Cal. Ariz. Or. Mex. 
There seems to be no good reason for separating this species from 
Limemiis and it is retained as distinct here only because we have already 
tabulated that genus.

Body very robust, primaries strongly falcate, anal angle of second- 
aries produced, costal margin strongly arched.

A. orion, Fabr. Syst. Ent. 485, n. (Papilio). Bd. and Lec., Lep. Am, Sep. 
t. 195, t. 52. (Aganisthos.) 
Easily known by the very robust body and by the wing form. Color 
sordid black, secondaries with a fulvous tinge at base, primaries with base 
and a spur sometimes nearly attaining the outer margin, fulvous, a white 
spot on costa near apex. Beneath smoky with paler transverse bands 
margined with darker lines. 
Expands Ba inches. ad. Florida (occasional) and Southward. 
*That is of course our American species only considered.
