secondaries and subfalcate primaries. The latter is a pale yellowish 
white, with dusky margins to primaries and an orange outward shading 
on secondaries. ‘The wings are entire. 
Agonisthos and Victorima are said to occur occasionally in the 
Southern U.S.; but are scarcely proper parts of our fauna. All the pre- 
ceding genera are. treated of and the species thereof described in the 
former volumes of the Bulletin. 
Ageronia is a very interesting genus, intermediate to some extent 
between the .Vymphalinae and Satyrinae. The costal vein of primaries 
is inflated, and the palpi are long. ‘The head is broad, the eyes promi- 
nent, and the body robust. The pupe are slender, girthed at middle, 
and have two ear-like tubercles. The imagines are said to produce a 
squeaky sound, alight on the trunks of trees and rest head downward, 
‘with expanded wings. These peculiarities have been considered 
sufficient to entitle the insects to sub-family rank. The middle femora 
are unusually long. Our species are more or less mottled with greenish 
and white. 
The S.tyrinae comprise butterflies of medium size, usually dull 
smoky brown colors, rather thin large wings and only moderately robust 
bodies. The ornamentation is usually more or less ocellate in character, 
and often very variable. This sub-family, or. as some prefer to consider 
it, family, has been placed at the head of the butterflies because the fore 
legs are most aborted, and because the Chrysalis illustrates the extreme 
remove from the girthed forms, being suspended by the tail only, and 
not at all angulate, the abdominal portion contracted in size and the 
thoracic region well developed. 
The genera all have the veins more or less inflated at root, and 
modifications of this character afford convenient bases for genera. 
 Neonympha has two veins inflated at base, the wings entire and 
tibize not, or feebly, spinulated. he species are mostly without macula- 
tion above, or have only an apical ocellus on primaries; but differ in 
the maculation of under side. 
Coenonympha has the three principal veins inflated at base. The 
species are small and unlike most others of the sub-family are usually 
pale, yellowish or whitish in color. The species are indefinite and large- 
ly opinionative. 
_ Erebia has but two veins inflated, and has the club of antennz dist- 
inct, flattened. The species have often a reddish suffusion, and are 
more or less ocellated above.
