Expanse, inch. Early Stages.—Unknown. This interesting little species occurs in Arizona and northern Mexico. Genus PHOLISORA, Scudder Butterfly.—The palpi are porrect, the second joint loosely scaled, the third joint slender and conspicuous. The antennae have the club gradually thickened, the tip blunt. The fore wing is relatively narrow, provided with a costal fold in the case of the male. The

Expanse, inch. Early Stages.—Unknown. This interesting little species occurs in Arizona and northern Mexico. Genus PHOLISORA, Scudder Butterfly.—The palpi are porrect, the second joint loosely scaled, the third joint slender and conspicuous. The antennae have the club gradually thickened, the tip blunt. The fore wing is relatively narrow, provided with a costal fold in the case of the male. The cut gives a correct idea of the neuration. Egg.—The Qgg is curiously formed, much flattened at the base, marked on the side with longitudinal _ ridges and cross-lines, these ridges developing alter- Neuration of nately at their apical extremities into thickened, more the genus q^ jg^g rugose elevations, the ridges pointing inwardly and surrounding the deeply depressed micropyle. Caterpillar.—Slender, with the head broad, rounded; the body stout, thickest in the middle, tapering toward either end, and somewhat flattened below. Chrysalis.—The chrysalis is slender, very slightly convex on the ventral side, somewhat concave on the dorsal side behind the thorax. The wing-cases are relatively smaller than in the preceding genera. (i) Pholisora catuUus, Fabricius, Plate XLV, Fig. 4, $> ; Plate VI, Figs. 29, ^6, 41, chrysalis (The Sooty-wing). Butterfly.—Black on both sides of the wings, with a faint marginal series and a conspicuous submarginal series of light spots on the primaries in the male sex on the upper side, and, in addition to these, in the female sex, a faint marginal series on the secondaries. On the under side only the upper spots of the sub- marginal series of the primaries reappear. Expanse, . inch. Early Stages.—The caterpillar feeds on **lamb's-quarter" (Chenopodium album) and the Amarantacece. It forms a case for itself by folding the le
