often the same species have many examples of both females, many females also exhibit 
Albino patches. 
The Larvse are green, smooth, pubescent, and feed on Leguminosw. The Pupa 
is pointed in front. 
Watson’s Eriocolias is intended to include the Ilyale group, in which the 
border is often streaked, but never spotted in the male; the principal character is 
that the males have, on the upperside of the hindwings, between the costal and 
sub-costal nervures, a patch of modified scales of a smaller size, and much more 
numerous than the surrounding scales, usually of the same ground colour; in the old 
genus Colias (our Eurymus ) Watson proposes to retain the orange species in which 
these scales are wanting ( E . Chrysotheme , Esper, etc.) and the sub-group represented 
by E. Phiconome, Esper, improperly indicated as the type, as it is not even one of the 
species mentioned in Illiger’s Mag. ; pending a critical examination of the numerous 
species of this genus, which might probably reveal other characters of greater 
importance, we content ourselves by calling attention to Watson’s genus, without 
adopting at present a sub-division which would separate species so much resembling 
each other as C. Hyale and C . Chrysotheme , solely on a secondary sexual character, 
however well marked or constant.
