Aberrant form, Lintnerii, Fitch.âThis form differs from the one usually seen in having the outer pale bor- der twice as wide as in the typical Antiopa, occupying one-third the length of the wing, and in being wholly destitute of the blue spots. The general color is more reddish ; the costal margin is black, with small whitish transverse streaks, but destitute of the two patches. Another form has " the broad outer border of a tar- nished pale ochre-yellow hue, speckled with black the same as Antiopa, and becomes quite narrow at the anal angle. The wings beneath are similar to those of Antiopa, but are darker and without any sprinkling of ash-gray scales or any whitish crescent in the middle of â the hind pair, and the border is sprinkled with gray whitish in wavy streaks, without forming the distinct band which is seen in Antiopa" This is Mr. Bunker's description, stripped of a few superfluous words, of a specimen taken near Rochester, New York. The female deposits the eggs in a cluster round the twigs of willow, elm, or poplar near the petiole of a young leaf, upon which the young larva3 may feed. The mature larvae are two inches long, black, minutely dotted with white, which gives them a grayish look; with a dorsal row of brick-red spots. Head black, roughened.
