tachetc dans lcs deux sexes ; les ailes inferieures n’ont qu’aa 
seal ceil bien distinct au milieu du disque inferieur.” 
According to D’Engramclle, in his beautiful work on 
the European Pnpiliones, “ les ailes inferieures n’ont pas 
dc tache au milieu; les dessus dcs quatre ailes est d’un 
jaune pale un peu verdatre, avec un bordure noir qui n’est 
pas coupee ; en dessous la partie qui correspond a cetto 
bordure cst d’un verd clair.” 
This genus is referrable to the modern genus called Co- 
lias , proposed by Fabricius and adopted by Latreille. 
Should it occur like the Colias cdusa (to which it is so 
nearly allied), in the south of Spain, its geographical distri¬ 
bution will extend over about 32 degrees of latitude. The 
generic characters are: “ Palpi valde compressi, articulo ul¬ 
timo brevissimo. Antenna: breves, in capituluin obconicum 
sensim abeuntes.” The specific characters are : “ Colias Pa¬ 
lana ,—Alis integerrimis rotundatis flavis apice nigris mar- 
gineque flavis; postieis subtus puncto argenteo. Eaun. 
Suec. 1041. Habitat, in Europac Pteridc aquilina .” 
No. 2.—The specimen marked No. 2. belongs to that 
division of the genus Papilio, called Npmphales Phalerati 
by Linnaeus; and to that section, well named by Latreille 
Perlati, from the beautiful pearly spots with which the un¬ 
der surface of the inferior wings is usually adorned. I 
should consider it as an interesting variety of the Papilio 
Dia of Limueus, rather than as a new species. It occurs 
in England, is common in Austria, and is likewise well 
known in France under the name of La Petite Violette. Its 
discovery in Greenland, therefore, gives it a wide geogra¬ 
phical range, from the Austrian territory south of Vienna, 
to Jameson’s Land in Greenland. This insect is described 
and figured by D’Engramellc, Plate XV. No. 21. It is
