This species occurs throughout the greater part of the United States, and is distributed far beyond our Fig. 469.—Anosia plexippus. It is believed, however, that the species dies out each year in a large part of the Northern States, and that those butter- flies which appear first in this region, in June or July, have flown hither from the South, where they hibernate in the adult state. In the extreme South they fly all winter. G

The Typical NympJialids {Nym-pha'lids). The butterflies of this subfamily vary so much in the outline and ornamentation of the wings that it is impossible to briefly characterize them. The student, however, will have no difficulty in distinguishing them by means of the table of subfamilies already given. Our genera represent five quite distinct groups, as follows:— I. The Crescent-spots or the Melitceids (Mel-i-tse'ids).—This -group includes some of the smaller members of the Nym-.
