Golias Sciidderi, Eclw. Butt. N. Am. p. 60.— This species seems 
to be identical with C. relidne, and is probably a southern form of 
that species, and rather larger, expanding from 1-80 to 2 in. 
Habitat, Colorado, Upper Arkansas Valley. 
Golias Interior, Scudd., found in Canada, appears to be likewise 
a form of the same insect. 
Golias Behrii, Edw. Proc. Ent. Soc. Philad. 1866. — This species 
is taken in California on the Yo Semite Mountains, at an elevation 
of 10,000 ft. It appears to me identical with G. Nastes. 
Golias Keivaijdin, Edw. Butt. N. Am. 49. — Expands from 1-60 
to 1‘80 in. Very close to G. Ghrysotlieme. Habitat, New Orleans 
and Illinois. 
Golias Ghristina, Edw. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. 1863. — Expands 
from 2-10 to 2-50 in. Not unlike G. Hecla, but greener, being- 
somewhat nearer to G. Boothii, of which it may possibly be a 
southern form. “ Taken at the portage of Slave River by Mrs. Ross 
in 1862.” 
Golias Eiirijtlieme, Boisd. Ann. Soc. Fr. 1852. — Expands from 
2 to 2-50 in. Has very much the appearance of Edusa, but is 
without the glandular space found in the male of that species. Its 
colour is lighter than Edusa, and more like that of Ghrysotlieme, 
near to which is the true position of the species. Habitat, the 
fields about New York in the spring and autumn (Edwards). 
Golias Meadii, Edw. Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. 1871. — Intermediate 
between Edusa and Myrmidone, but smaller than either, expanding 
from 1-70 to 1-90 in. The border is not veined and the discoidal 
spot of the fore wings very small. Habitat, Colorado. 
The study of the Nearctic forms of the genus Golias is very 
interesting; most of the species are very close to those of the 
Palsearctic region, and many seem to be absolutely identical, 
though they have received different names. Figures of many of 
them will be found in Mr. Edwards’s magnificent work ‘ The 
Butterflies of North America.’
