Egg.—Spindle-shaped (see p. 4, Fig. 6), laterally marked with raised vertical ridges, between which are finer cross-lines. Caterpillar.—The caterpillar, in its mature stage, r, is relatively lons^, with the head small. Fig. 14-;.— -^ ^ Nouration of Chrvsalis.—With the head relatively enormously the genus £•//- projecting; wing-cases compressed, and uniting to form a conspicuous keel-shaped projection, the highest point of which lies at the juncture of the two ends of the silk girdle where they are attached to the supporting surface. There are numerous species of this genus, and all are exceed- ingly pretty. ^(i) Euchloe sara, Boisduval, Plate XXXII, Fig. 28, $ ; Fig. 29, $ (Sara). Butterfly.—The wings on the upper side in both sexes are shown in the figures above cited.
