in EDgiaiid. It is thus within the limits of possibility for it to 
become naturalised in Europe in the same manner as the Paige- 
arctic Fieris Picipce has become in the Nearctic Eegion.

Characters. — Larva without spines or projections, generally 
pubescent, pisciform or at least tapering towards the anal extremity, 
which is usually forked ; head generally rounded, occasionally bifid. 
Colour generally green or brown, with lateral lines placed above 
and below the row of stigmata. The food plants consist of grasses 
of various species. 
Pupa suspended by the anal extremity or lying face on the 
ground ; scarcely or not at all angulated, and without metallic 
spots ; in shape rather cylindrical. 
Imago. — Head small ; eyes naked or hairy ; antenna3 generally 
rather short, slender, the club distinct, but usually gradually 
formed ; palpi compressed and elongated, hairy anteriorly ; 
abdomen small. Fore legs rudimentary in both sexes ; in the 
male brush-shaped, and not articulated ; in the female they are 
longer, and have articulated tarsi. Wings proportionately large, 
but generally not fitted for a sustained flight ; in some species, 
however, the flight is rapid. Fore wings often with the nervures 
enlarged at the base ; the discoidal cell generally long, and always 
closed. Inner margin distinctly grooved, to receive the abdomen. 
Colour of the wings usually sombre, generally brown, sometimes 
black or black and white ; fore wings nearly always with an 
ocellated spot near the apex ; all the wings more or loss marked 
with submarginal rows of ocellated spots. In the European species 
the hind margins of the fore wings are entire, and the apices 
generally rounded ; the hind wings are either entire or only 
moderately dentate.
