LIBYTHEA—CHARAXES. 
153 
Pupa green, with lighter dorsal and lateral stripes. 
The larva appears in April and July on Geltis Australis. 
Three species of Lihijtliea occur in North America, and are thus 
given hy Edwards : — 
1. — L. Carinenta, Oram. ii. pi. 108. — Habitat, New Mexico, 
Arizona. 
2. — L. Motya, Boisd. Lee. pi. 64. — Habitat, Southern States. 
3. — L. Bachmaimii, Kirtland Selhnan’s Journal, xiii. p. 336. — 
Habitat, Middle and Western States. 
Earn. 6.— APATURIDiE, Boisd. 
Chaeactees. — Larva smooth, limaciform, the head with non- 
retractile horn-like appendages. In the European species green 
is their prevailing colour. 
Pupa thick in the region of the anterior abdominal segments, 
generally rather pointed towards the extremities, but not exhibiting 
angular projections or metallic spots. Suspended by the caudal end. 
Imago with the eyes not hairy. Antenn® long and with thick 
well-formed clubs. Wings large and very powerful, especially in 
the males. Hind margins of anterior wings, concave. Posterior 
wings dentated or tailed. Hiscoidal cells of the hind wings open. 
This family, which is separated from the one that follows, on 
account of the peculiar slug-shaped larvee, contains only three 
European species. 
Genus 1. — CHARAXES, Ochs. Schmett. Eur. iv. p. 18, 1816. 
Nymphalis, Auctonm. 
Chaeactees. — Larva with four short cephalic horns. 
Pupa rather rounded, and not tapering much towards the head.
