Scudder.] 208 [November 25, 



vules), the patch almost invariably extends half-way to the cell, some- 

 times close up to it. 



The under side of this species, both in specimens from the south 

 and from the north, and especially in males, is often almost wholly 

 devoid of markings, excepting the spots at the tip of the cell in both 

 wings ; and generally the species bears so close a resemblance to 

 C. Drya that it seems probable that these two are identical. If they 

 are distinct, as given by Butler, the specimen from Guatemala, upon 

 which I based my remark on the distribution of Eubule in my Sys- 

 tematic Revision, may belong to Drya. 



3. Callidryas sennse, which he also gives from Texas. Other 

 localities given by Butler are Rio Janeiro, Para, Bahia, Columbia, 

 Santa Martha, Venezuela, Trinidad, Honduras, west coast of Mexico, 

 Jamaica, Hayti, Folochic Valley and San Lorenzo. This is doubtless 

 the C. Marcellina of Edwards' list, although the reference to Boisdu- 

 val and LeConte's plate should have been given to the previous 

 species. Females of this species (which occurs also in Cuba, having 

 been given as the female of C. Orbis by Poey) were taken by Dr.. 

 Palmer on the Florida Keys in some numbers; but I doubt if it 

 occurs in Northern Florida, unless it be along the western coast of 

 the peninsula. 



In addition to these, Edwards gives in his Synopsis, Metura Cipris 

 (Callidryas Cypris), a species we have not seen, from New Mexico. 

 Butler's only localities are Brazil and Peru. I have also in my col- 

 lection from Texas a single female of Callidryas Philea, the pale form, 

 so common in this and allied genera, without any trace of the deep 

 red color, so striking on Butler's plate. The localities given by But- 

 ler are Rio Janeiro, Bahia, Amazons, Bogota, Polochic Valley, Santa 

 Martha, Mexico and Honduras. We have therefore five species in 

 the United States. 



I take this opportunity of adding a species to those described by 

 Butler. 



Aphrissa Butleri nov. sp. 



Upper surface uniform pale buff, the outer half of the costal mar- 

 gin of the fore wings and the outer margin, as far as the lower 

 median nervure, very narrowly bordered -with blackish brown, broad- 

 est, but still very narrow, at the apex. The sexual mealy border of 

 the wings is of a. silvery hoary appearance. On the fore wings it 

 occupies nearly half the upper surface, its interior border passing 

 from the middle of the uppermost subcostal nervule to the middle of.
