Genus IY. ANTHOCHARIS. 

 Boisduval. 



Antho'charis. Anthos, a flower ; Chaireis, to delight in. 



This genus is found throughout Europe, Asia, North Africa, and the 

 western part of North America. The males may be readily distinguished 

 from all butterflies by the orange tips of the fore-wings. The antennse are 

 slender and rather short, and the abdomen is slender. Another distinguish- 

 ing mark of this genus is the chrysalis, which is very peculiar, and looks like 

 a boat in miniature. 



ANTHOCHARIS CARDAMINES. 

 Orange-tip. 



Cardamines, Linn. Cardami'nes from the generic name of one of its 

 food-plants. Cardamines impatiens (Cuckoo flower.) 



This truly exquisite and lovely little creature makes its appearance in April, 

 and continues to flit gaily along by hedgerow and wood side to the beginning 

 of July, charming vernal rambles in the country, whether entomological or 

 no, by its merry blossom-like appearance.
