Tuder side. almost wholly wanting. Beneath, tlie color is yellow, diversified witli a stipple of brown and brownish orange, in places arranged in vague lines. A light spot above the middle of the upper wing is surrounded with a ring of brown, while two silvery spots similarly surrounded, adorn the lower pair. Seen either from above or below, the butterfly is very liandsome. Like the last species, this butterfly is principally an inhabitant of tropical America, and is rare in the United States. Many glorious specimens come from the hot low lands of Mexico. Callidryas argante is deep orange in color, lighter along the inner margin of the lower wing-s, and havinof a few brown markinofs alone: the outer margins of both sets of wings, more distinct at the apex of the upper pair. The color beneath is slightly lighter, but is variegated with a brown stipple arranged in indistinct wavy lines, very similar in pattern to the last described species. Two spots of silver are also present near the middle of the lower wings. Tliis insect is only.
