ANTHOCARIS I. 
brought in company with a number of Anthocaris Genutia and Pieris Virginia 
sis. Not long after, a collection of butterflies, made by Mr. Boll, in Texas and 
belonging to the Museum of Comparative Zoology, at Cambridge, were sent me 
by Dr. Hagen for examination, and among them was a male of Olympia. Since 
that time I have been informed by Dr. L. K. Hayhurst, that he has once taken 
the same species in Missouri. Mr. G. M. Dodge also has taken a pair at his 
former residence in Bureau County, Illinois; thus showing a wide distribution 
for so extremely rare a species. In April, 1873, another fine male was taken in 
my garden at Coalburgh. 
Olympia is more delicate and less strong of wing than Ausonides, and of a 
low, uncertain, and tremulous flight. In West Virginia it accompanies Genutia, 
and might easily be mistaken for the female of that species, frequenting, with it, 
cultivated grounds — gardens and meadows.
