. The butterflies of the eastern United States. For the use of classes in zoology and private students. Butterflies. 230 THE BUTTERFLIES OF THE. Debis Portlandia, male (natural size). yellowish, two of them small, the three larger pupilled with dark black. On the hind wings there are five subequal rather large FlG- 70- eye-spots. The outer border is composed of two lines slightly paler than the ground color, with a dark line and a dark internal shade. Under side brown as above, with a violet tinge, traversed by two brown sinuous lines, be- tween which there is a discoidal arc of the same color. The eye-spots are brighter and blacker than above, the iris yellow and pupil white, the anal one on the hind wings double. Those on the fore wings are enclosed in an oblong white ring. A similar ring enclosing those of the hind wings is crenate, the first and the last cut off from the others by cross-lines. The border is composed of white, brown, and dark yellow lines. This species is to be found in woodlands, the male sitting on the body of some tree, from which it flies upon the approach of any intruder. After flitting about the trespasser upon its domain it returns to the same or an adjacent tree. The females are mostly to be found on the wild grasses that grow in such places, upon which the larvae feed. The eggs are obovoid, the base a little flattened, and under the middle thereof is a slightly rounded protuber- ance of less diameter, smooth. Color greenish white. The young larva is cylindrical, head twice the diame-.
