APATURA II. 
ocelli nearly obsolete, the rings especially being absent, and the blue pupils in a 
greater or less degree ; and these last are often changed to a dull wliitisli-green. 
Var. FLORA. 
I am uncertain as to the position of this form, whether it is to be considered 
as a variety of Clyton , or as a good species. After the Plate of Clyton was 
drawn, I observed in the collection of Mr. William Stadhnair, of Brooklyn, 
several males and a single female, lately (April, 1876) sent him by his son, who 
had taken them at Palatka, Florida, all of which differed from any variety of 
Clyton hitherto seen by me, whether from Georgia, Louisiana, Texas, or West 
Virginia. These males were, moreover, alike in shape, color, and peculiarities of 
marking, except that on the under side there was a difference in the lightness or 
darkness of the colors, but just as I have seen in the same brood of Clyton in 
West Virginia. In these males both wings are more excised than is usual in 
Clyton, and secondaries are more prolonged and more pointed at the anal angle. 
The upper surface of both wings is of an uniform bright orange-ferruginous, 
except the extra-discal area of primaries, which is of a deep shade of ferruginous, 
blackened in the middle of the several interspaces; primaries are scarcely at all 
obscured at base, and the two rows of spots are bright orange-ferruginous, of 
same shade as the general surface, instead of being lighter, or yellowish, as in the 
usual Clyton . Secondaries have the base and inner margin but slightly obscured, 
and a broad bright field extends from the middle of the wing to the marginal 
band. The ocelli lie on this field, and are large. The marginal band of each 
wing is remarkably broad, so that on secondaries it nearly reaches the ocelli; 
and except in the two interspaces next outer angle there is a total absence of 
the sub-marginal crenated line always seen in var. Ocellata. Furthermore there 
is an absence of the light patch on costal margin. The peculiar shape of the 
wings, the uniform bright shade of ferruginous, extending even to the rows of 
extra-discal spots, the large ocelli, the broad marginal band, and the absence of 
the crenated line, and of the costal patch, strike the eye at once. On the under 
side the pattern is as in var. Ocellata, but the colors are all intense ; the cell 
and nearly all the spots of primaries buff, the extra-discal area deep ferruginous; 
the basal area of secondaries deep gray-brown, tinted with ferruginous next costa 
and towards anal angle; the sinuous discal stripe deep ferruginous, as is also 
the field on which are the ocelli, and between this stripe and field the space is 
lilaceous; the ocelli intense ferruginous, with obsolete rings, and lilaceous pupils. 
And on both wings the broad marginal band is cut by a conspicuous blue-black 
stripe from anal angle to the second sub-costal nervule on primaries ; this stripe
