T. G-undlachia, Pofij. Upper side red orange, the nervmvs black : pri- 

 maries have abroad black costal border, which passes apex and is continued 

 nearly to inner angle, diminishing from apex to a point at extremity ; second- 

 aries prolonged to a long pointed tail; under side paler; the costal margin 



of primaries and all of secondaries of a pale ferruginous tint; secondaries 

 sprinkled with dark ferruginous scales, disposed in rays, one running the 

 length of cell, and others irregularly across fchenervules. Female paler above 

 the black border on costal side narrow and ending at three-fifth the distance 

 from apex to base. Expands 2 inches. — Texas. 



T. Elathea, Or. Much like Jucunda ; the black band on primaries from 

 base almost to inner angle is much narrower, and the color between the band 

 and the inner margin is pale orange ; the secondaries are almost white, and 

 the black border is more pointedly edged inwardly ; underside almost im- 

 maculate. Expands about \% inches. — Peninsular Florida. 



This species should follow Jucunda. but at the time we were not certain 

 of its occurrence in the United .States. Since our last synopsis went into 

 print, however, we have received a specimen taken in Florida.
