\ 
15. Little Sulphur Butterfly (/uwrema lisa). 
A small yellow species with black borders. Rather common in 
sandy places in June and again in the latter part of August and early 
in September. The caterpillar is grass-green, with minute hairs and 
white elevation; feeds on clover and senna (Cassia). 
16. Cloudless Sulphur Butterfly (Catopsilia eubule). 
This species may be recognized by its large size and sulphur-yellow 
wings. The caterpillar feeds on different species of senna (Cassia). 
It is a common species in the South, but is rarely met with in the 
vicinity of New York, a few specimens having been taken in recent 
years in September and October. In 1870 it was found in abundance 
on Fire Island, L. I., and numbers were also seen at Long Branch 
some years ago. It has also been taken in different places on Long 
Island, Staten Island, Manhattan Island, Westchester County and 
New Jersey. It is found from New England and Wisconsin to 
Patagonia, S. A.
