The pupa (Fig. 62) is similar in form to ^^ ^j.^^.that of L. Arthemis, and is marked with burnt pus, , ash-gray, flesh color, and white. The winter is passed in a hibernaculum consisting ofa leaf, similar to L. Arthemis, except when there is morethan one brood in a season. In this case it is only thelast brood that has a torpid state. The food-plants are apple, plum, willow, poplar, andoak. United States 214 THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE 75. LiMENiTis Eros, Edw. Expanse of wings from to 3 inches. Upper surface dark, red-brown, mahogany color, th6black markings heavier than in L. Archippus, the whitespots in the border of the hind wings subobsolete, whilein the males there is often a series of white crescents infront of the black line of the hind wings. The under side is as dark as the upper, or scarcelylighter, with the white marks more prominent than , and a white spot near the base of each wing. The following description of the preparatory stages,arranged from Mr. Edwardss account of the life-historyof this species, will show how the two species differ inthe larva state. The egg is similar to that of X. ArchippuSjhut a littlehigher in proportion. The color of the larva after the first moult, is mottledtawny and dark brown, the appendages on joint 3 one-third as large as
