Expanse, 2. inches. Early Stages.—So far as is known to the writer, these have not been described, except partially by Henry Edwards in the " Proceedings of the California Academy of Sciences," vol. v, p. 171. The caterpillar feeds upon oaks. The insect is found in California, Nevada, Arizona, and Mexico. Genus CHLORIPPE, Boisduval (The Hackberry Butterflies) Butterfly.—Small butterflies, generally some shade of fulvous, marked with eye-like spots on the posterior margin of the secondaries, and occasionally upon the outer margin of the primaries, the fore wings as well as the hind wings being in addition more or less strongly spotted and banded with black. The eyes are naked; the antennae are straight, provided with a stout, oval club; the palpi are porrect, the second joint heavily clothed with hairs, the third joint short, likewise covered with scales. The costal vein of the fore wing is stout. The first subcostal vein alone arises before the end of the cell. The cell is open in both wings. Fig. 110.—Neu- ^SS-—The eggs, which are deposited in clus- ration of the genus ters, are nearly globular, the summit broad and Chionppe, cf*. convex. The egg is ornamented by from eighteen to twenty rather broad vertical ribs, having no great elevation, between which are numerous faint and delicate cross-lines. Caterpillar. — The head is subquadrate, with the summit crowned by a pair of diverging stout coronal spines which have upon them a number of radiating spinules. Back of the head, on the sides, is a frill of curved spines. The body is cylindrical, thickest at the middle, tapering forward and backward from this point. The anal prolegs are widely divergent and elongated, as in many genera of the Satyrino'. Chrysalis.—IhQ chrysalis is compressed lateral
