' CoLiAS Chrysotheme of New York, and Colias Cceso- NiA of the Southern States, are very little different from the lormer species. The genus Melltca is distinguished from the preceding by their wings being spotted with red and black colors, so distributed as to make them look like a chess-board. Their caterpillars are covered with short, velvet-like hair. The Melit^a Phaeton (Fig. 48) is quite a handsome butterfly, but is un- fortunately very rare. During many excur- sions in Rhode Island and New York, we have been able to find only a few of this spe- cies. - , , The Melit^a Tha- Hos Of the Middle, and JfaLrr^A Ismeeia, of the Southern States, are also not very common. The caterpillars .f both genera, Colias and Melit<,a, are both comparatively harmless, and we can not complain of much injury to vegetation being done by them. The genus Vanessa is much more common, and its larv^ much more numerous and rapacious.
