The species of this genus are easily known by the wing form, and 
by the stout rather short body. The primaries are falcate, with the apex 
acute, most distinctly so in the male. ‘The secondaries are distinctly 
tailed at the middle of the outer margin, and the hind angle while not 
produced is distinctly rectangular. The palpi are very closely applied to 
the front, and a little exceed the vertex. The club of the antenna is 
gradual. The underside of the species most generally has a dead leaf 
color and appearance. Some confusion as to which species we have here 
has arisen but the following expresses the latest conclusions of authorities 
on the subject.

Above coppery red, varying somewhat in intensity of color, extremity 
of discal cell black, outer margins darker, with a bluish tint at extreme 
edge, most distinct on secondaries; the female is larger than the male, 
the dark outer margin is much broader and there is a more or less com- 
plete transverse black line at outer third of both wings. 
Expands 2.5—-3.5 inches inches. Had. So. and West States. 
We have carefully examined specimens of P. MJorrisonia determined 
by Mr. Edwards, and we cannot find any differences between them and. 
the ordinary torm wich could be deemed specific or even varietal. 
The larva feeds on wild sage (Croton capitatum), is of a bluish color 
when young, sprinkied with minute whitish papillze, and larger reddish or 
brown tubercles. When full grown it measures 1.5 inches, tapers from 
the third segment toward each extremity; color except neck bluish green, 
papillz pale: neck pale green, distinctly marked: head bilobed, a pair 
of orange papillze on vertex. Chrysalis in form like that of Dazazs.
