Early Stages.—W^'hat is known of these is contained in articles published by Mr, William Schaus, "Papilio," vol. iii, p. 188; and by Henry Edwards, " Entornolcgica Americana," vol. iii, p. 161, to M'hich the reader may refer. The habitat of the species is Texas, Mexico, and Central America. The insect is very variable in the markings both of the upper and under sides, and several so-caiicd species are only varietal forms of this.

The wings on the upper side are black; both primaries and secondaries are crossed about the middle by a band of spots, generally broken on the primaries and contitijous on the secondaries. These spots in the typical form lacinia are fulvous, and the bands are broad. In the form crocale the spots are white, the bands narrow. A great variety of intergrading forms are known and are represented in the author's collection, most of them bred specimens reared from the egg. On the under side the fore wings are marked as on the upper side. The hind wings on the under side are black, with a marginal row of spots, a transverse straight median band, a sbort brsal band, and a costal
