There appears to have been two errors committed respecting this insect. In the 

 first place, it is evidently very closely allied to the orange-tipped butterfly of our 

 country, (Anthocaris Cardamines) ; the palpi, as represented in this figure, are 

 fictitious, being elongated like those of the genus Libythea, which induced M. Godart 

 to place it in that genus, in the appendix to his article on the butterflies in the 

 Encyclopedic Methodique. In the second place, instead of being an inhabitant of 

 the East Indies, as stated by Fabricius, (and on his authority introduced into this 

 work,) it is now known to belong to North America : a species agreeing in all
