Fig. 7- Frittillaria, Pearl-Bordered; the 
EupHROSYNE, Nypnphalesjof Linnseus. The an- 
tenna of this are full as large as thofe of the 
Hio-h Brown Frittillaria, and very like them in 
■ form. The entire upper-fide is of a fine warm 
yellow-orange. The fan-edge, clofe to the 
fi-inge, is one continued chain of triangular fpots,_ 
which unite in a firing along the outer edge of 
each wing, and another line of the fame trian- 
gular fpots juft above compofes an uniform bor- 
der. Within the vs^ing, on the fan-membranes, 
about the eighth of an inch, is another row of 
round fpots, one on each membrane : on the fu- 
perior wing are fcven, and on each of the infe- 
rior ones fix -only. Thofe parts of the wings which 
are next the thorax and abdomen, are occupied 
by a great variety of multiform fpots of black. 
Fig. 8. Under-fide. The under-fide is yellov/er 
and much paler than the upper. The black 
fpots near the fan-edges are fo faint as hardly to 
be feen. The thorax is clouded with dark 
orange-red; and there are feven filver or pearl- 
coloured fpangles along the border or lower edge 
of the \nng. In the very centre, on the table- 
tendon, is another fpangle of an oblong form, 
not fo big as a lint-feed ; and there is alfo one near- 
ly of a triangular form clofe under the thorax. 
The expanfion of the wings is tv/o inches. 
The caterpillar changes to a chryfalis at the end 
of April; and the fly appears about the mid- 
dle of May. It flies only in woods, or lanes in 
their vicinity, never being above a yard from 
the ground, on which it is fond of fitting, 
when undifl:urbed. 
Fig. 9. Orange Dappled. The head, thorax, 
and abdomen, are black; the two former being 
full of fmali white fpots. The fuperior wings 
are of an orange clay-colour; but the tips are 
black, foftening off towards the middle of the 
■ wing: and this black part is filled with fpots 
of a clear white; one, in particular, remiarkably 
large, being at leaft half an inch long. However, 
as four of the tendons interfeft this large 
fpot, it feems as if divided, and has the ap- 
pearance of five fpots united together. A line 
or border of tvv'elve white fpots ornaments the 
fan-edge. The inferior wings are of the fame 
colour as the fuperior ones, having four black 
fpecks in the middle, each joining to a tendon. 
The whole of the fan-edge is irregularly bor- 
dered with a narrow black edging, with a line 
of white fpecks, two in each membrane, -as in 
the border of the upper. 
The under-fideis very fimilar, though notexaftly 
like the upper. 
The expanfion of the wings is three inches. 
It is found in New York, Maryland, and feveral 
parts of the Wefl: Indies. It flies very flow, 
and is fond of fettling in fiiady and marfhy 
places. 
Fig. 10. The PiERA, Fleliconii, of Linnseus. 
The antennas are like hairs ; and the knobs, 
being thin, are hardly difcernible. The head, 
thorax, and abdomen, are of a dark brown; 
. of which colour alfo are the fe£lor edges, the 
feftor tendons, and miembranes; and the fan- 
edge istinged with brown. The fuperior wings 
are tranfparent like gold-beaters fkin, or thin 
horn, and have no farina upon them: they 
are divided into three equal parts by two 
brown bands; that next the thorax continu- 
ing dovv'nward through the inferior wing, and 
ending near the anus or lower end of the 
abdomen, on the edge of the abdominal 
membrane. The inferior wing is of the fame 
tranfparent brown, except the lowermofl: half^, 
which is tinged with rofe or pink-colour. Ac 
the outer corner there is an ocellus, or fmall 
eye, about the fize ot a hemp-feed, which is 
formed by a gold-coloured ring, furrounding 
a black fpot, in v/hich (not in the middle, but 
towards the outer part next the corner of the 
v/ing) is a fmall white fpeck. A brown line 
feems to divide this part or corner of the ring 
from the rcfl:. The bottom or fan-edges of 
thefe wings are bordered with a narrow crimfon 
edging, above which, about the eighth of an 
inch, is another crimfon line or band; but this 
iaft band, v/hich is compofed of united arches, 
does not extend fo far, ftopping at the eye 
near the outer corner. 
The expanfion of the wings is tv/o inches and 
a quarter. 
This fly comes from the Weft Indies, where it is 
feen flying in the m.onth of May, about the 
fhrubs and rufhes in the favannahs. 
Fig. II. Isinglass Clouded FIeliconti. The 
antennse are like threads; and the head, tho- 
rax, and abdom.en, are brown. All the wings ' 
have the tranfparency of glafs. The fuperi- 
ors have each a large triangular fpot near the 
middle of the feclor, which extends it's point 
a quarter of an inch tovvards the centre. The 
outer or fan-edges are bordered with a pale 
black band or edging; and tiie feclor, as v/ell 
as the lov/er or flip-edge, is brovv'n. The 
inferior wings are quite clear, and i"ree from 
markings. 
The expanfion of the Mnngs is tvv^o inches. 
This fly comes from Jamaica, where it frequents 
the favannahs in June. 
PLATE THE FOURTFI. 
Fig. I. Indian White-Admirable; the Iphi- 
CLA, Nymphales, of Linnreus. The eyes are 
brov/n, and the thorax and abdomen nearly 
black. The fuperior and inferior wings are of 
a fine olive black, with a greenifh caft or glofs. 
At the tip of each of the fuperior wings there is 
a large orange-coloured foot, of an irregular 
fliape, and above a quarter of an inch in dia- 
meter. From this part of the wing, and near 
this fpot, rifes a broad pearl-coloured bar, 
which forms a dire6i: line; and, crofllng the 
fuperior and inferior wings, ends near the ab- 
dominal corner, where it is flopped by a large 
fpot of orange. There are fome occult mark- 
ings to be feen through the black part of the 
v/ings, v/hich it is difiicult, if not impofiibie, 
to defcribe. 
Fig. 1. Under-ftde. The palpi and thorax are 
white, and the legs are of a dark brown. The 
wings in general are of a reddifii purple, 
watered all over v.'ith reddifn brov/n lines pa- 
rallel to each other; this brown colour is pretty 
broad round the edges of the fine purple 
broad bar which extends acrofs the two wings, 
as on the other fide, but confiderably fl:ronger 
in colour. 
The expanfion of the wings is two inches and 
a half,
