EUCHLOE; ANTHOCHAEIS. By J. Bober. 95 



N. jole Bciv. (= felicia Poeij) (27 h), from the southern States of North America, Mexico, Colombia jole. '"o/y 

 and Cuba, is lemon-vellow with black apex and black innermarginal stripes on the forewing, also at the costal 

 margin of the hindwing there is a long black spot. The $ has the upper surface of the hindwing pale orange- 

 red. ab. irene Fitch (27 h) is a $-form with the hindwing deeper orange-yellow and more strongly marked irene.^ff 

 with black. — luteolus BeaJ:.. from Honduras, is a more orange-yellow form, strongly marked with dark. luteolufi. S/v 



N. plauta Dbl. (.(■ Hew. (27 h), from Venezuela and Colombia, has yellow upper surface, very broad black plauta^^ 

 distal margin to the forewing and a large orange-j-ellow spot at the anterior part of the hindwing. Under 

 siirface of the forewing in the middle orange-yellow, at the margin greenish yellow, the hindwing greenish, 

 yellow at the margin. The $ has the upperside of the forewing almost black. 



27. Genus: Ewcliloe Hbn. 



Of this genus, which is represented in the Palaearctic Eegion by nine species, there are only three in 

 the American Eegion. Antennae and palpi shaped as in the following genus Anthocharis. Of the five subcostal 

 veins only one arises before the apex of the cell. The upper radial is coincident with the subcostal almost to 

 *'3. — Egg spindle-shaped, with small protuberances at the sides. Larva slender with small head. Pupa pointed 

 at both ends, the breast onlv a little raised. 



<#// 



E. ausonides Luc. (28 a) is distributed from Colorado to California, also occurring on Vancouver Island, ausonides. 

 Upper surface white vnth black median spot and grey-black apical and subapical markings on the forewing. 

 Under surface white with black median spot on the forewing and yellow-green ,,parsley"-marking on the hind- 

 wing and the apex of the forewing. — Larva on Crucifers, cylindrically slender, head small, round, green, black- 

 spotted, body entirely covered with black granules, each of which bears a short hair, longitudinally marked 

 with three pale-coloured stripes, a dorsal one and one at each side, the interspaces j^-ellow, the lateral stripes 

 margined beneath with white to yellow; ventral legs greenish yellow, thoracic legs black. Pupa slender, cylin- 

 drical, thickest in the middle, uniformly pointed, grey-brown, and covered with fine dark longitudinal stripes. 



E. creusa Dbl. <£• Hew. (28 a), from the Eocky Mountains, is similar to the preceding species, but the creusa. Tv'' 

 black median spot of the forewing is large and square. The markings of the under surface are grass-green aird 

 the light spots on the hindwing are silver-white. Almost nothing is known of the early stages. 



E. hyantis Edw. (28 a), from California, is above very similar to creusa, but on the underside of the hyantis. ^^ 

 hindwing more yellow-green and the spots are there only white but not shiny. 



28. Genus: Anthocliarls Bdv. 



This genus is only represented in America by four species. It differs from the preceding genus in that 

 two subcostal veins arise before the discocellular. The upper radial is only shortly coincident with the sub- 

 costal. Larva slender, narrower at both ends, with soft hairs. Pupa canoe-shaped, with strongly projecting 

 breast (boot-shape), produced into a point at the ends, weakly keeled on the back. 



A. sara Luc. (= flora Wright) (28 a) is distributed all over the United States of North America. Upper sara. ' V-cV 

 surface white with large orange-red apical spot, which is margined with black distally and proximally. Hind- 

 wing white, ab. reakirtti 'Edw. (28 a) differs from sara by the presence of black dots at the distal margin of reakirtii. v^^ 

 the hindwing. The $ of sara has slightly yellowish upper surface and smaller and paler orange spot. ab. stella stella. ^ftf 

 Edw. has in the ^ the bordering round the orange spot less black, also the spot itself is smaller and paler; the 

 $ has yellow upper surface, ab. Julia Edw. (28 a) differs from sara in that the proximal black bordering of the julia. 

 orange spot is interrupted and the hindwing has larger black marginal spots. — Earlier stages unknown. 



A. thoosa Scudd. (28 a), from California (which is only known to me from the figure), shows in pattern thoosa 

 no difference between the sexes, only 'the ground-colour 6|_the(J above and beneath is white, that of the $ yel- 

 lowish. Is probably scarcely a separate species, but a large, strongly marked form of sara.

A. cethura F\dr. (= angelina Bdv., cooperi Behr) (28 a), from California, has in the (^ the distal margin cethura. 

 of the forewing somewhat incurved. Upper surface white with small orange spot, very small dark apical mark- 

 ings, and black median spot. $ with stronger black markings, ab. morrisoni Edw. has larger and darker orange morrisoiri. /"^ 

 .spot also more black apical marking. — For this species Grote has erected the genus Tetracharis.
