Male. — Expands from 1.5 to 1.8 inch. 
Upper side white, often slightly tinted with yellow, the bases of wings dusted 
with black; a few black specks on costal margin of primaries; on the apex of 
primaries a large bright orange patch covering the area nearly to cell, edged on 
both margins with small patches of black scales : on the arc a small rounded or 
oval black spot; secondaries delicate, immaculate; fringes white, black at tips of 
the nervules. 
Under side of both ivings white, slightly yellow along the margins; the orange 
shade shows faintly through the wing, and the apical area and costal margin of 
primaries are slightly specked and marked with greenish-yellow ; the discal spot 
repeated; secondaries wholly mottled with patches of green scales. 
Body blackish above, beneath, the thorax gray, abdomen yellowish; legs yel¬ 
low ; palpi gray; antennae blackish above, white beneath; club orange beneath 
and at tip. 
Female. — Expands from 1.5 to 1.9 inch. 
Similarly marked, but wanting the orange patch. 
This pretty species is regarded by Dr. Boisduval and Mr. Butler as the one 
described by Fabricius under the name Genutia , though the habitat is given as 
India, and the description is a brief one and applicable to other species as well. 
It is still rare in collections, and nothing is known of its- preparatory stages, 
except that Mr. Boll has seen the female laying eggs upon a species of Cardi- 
mine. The larva and chrysalis will be found to resemble in shape and general 
appearance Ausonides, figured on the preceding Plate. Genutia flies in the 
spring, is single-brooded, and appears to be restricted to certain localities. I 
cannot learn by correspondence, or by reference to several local lists of butter-
