The Falcate Orange-tip, Anthocharis genutia (An-thoch'- 
a Ws ge-nu'ti-a).—In this species the apex of the fore wings 
is* hooked, reminding one of the Hook-tip Moths. In the 
males there is a large apical orange patch. This butterfly 
is found throughout the southeastern part of the United 
States, not including Florida. It occurs as far north as 
New Haven, Conn. It is nowhere abundant. 
Synchloe olympia (Syn'chlo-e o-lym'pi-a).—In this species 
the orange patch is wanting in both sexes. There is a con¬ 
spicuous black bar at the end of the discal cell of the fore 
wings, and the apical portion of these wings is gray, includ¬ 
ing a large irregular white band (Fig. 463). 
This species occurs in the Mississippi Valley. 
III. The Yellows .—The Yellows are easily recognized by 
their bright yellow colors, although in some species whitish 
fornis occur. They abound almost everywhere in open 
fields, and are common about wet places in roads. To this 
group belong the larger number of our Pierids. 
The Clouded Sulphur, Eurymusphilodice (Eu'ry-mus phi- 
lod'i-ce).—The wings above 
are rather pale greenish yellow, 
with the outer borders black¬ 
ish brown. Figure 464 repre¬ 
sents the male; in the female 
the border on the fore wings 
is broader, and contains a sub¬ 
marginal row of yellow spots. 
The discal dot of the fore 
wings is black, that of the 
hind wings is orange. The under surface is sulphur-yellow. 
This species is dimorphic. The second form is repre¬ 
sented only by the female sex, and differs in having the 
ground-color of the wings white instead of yellow. 
The Clouded Sulphur occurs from the mouth of the St. 
Lawrence to South Carolina and westward to the Rocky 
Mountains. Its larva feeds upon clover and other Legu-
