in that genus, in the appendix to his article on the butterflies in the Encyclopedic 
Methodique. In the second place, instead of being an inhabitant of the East Indies, 
as stated by Fabricius, (and on his authority introduced into this work,) it is now 
known to belong to North America: a species agreeing in all respects with the
