" HjI\ — Los Angeles, ;' The species is probably only a local race of the insect known to naturalists as M. poIyuDiia, as Reakirt himself admits. The tlgure in the plate is from one of Reakirfs paratypes. Genus CERATINIA, Fabricius 5////t7;//r. — Buttertlies oi medium size, very closely related in structure to the buttertlies of the genus Mccbaiiitis. The pecu- liarity of this genus, by which it mav ^ be distinguished from others belong- uf? ing to this subfamily, is the fact that the loz.\i- discocellular vein in the hind wing of the male sex is strongly in- angled, while in the genus McdhDii- tis it is the middle discocellular vein of the hind wing which is bent in- wardly. Early SAz^t'^. —Unknown for the most part. There are at least tlfty species be- longing to this genus found in the tropical regions of America: only one of the genus is said to occur occasionally within the Ccratitiia.

Biitltrjfw —The butterfly is rather small, wings semi-transpar- ent, especially at the apex of the fore wings. The ground-color is pale reddish-orange, with the border black. There are a few^ irregular black spots on the discal area of the fore wings, and a row of minute white spots on the outer border. There is a black band on the middle of the hind wings, curved to correspond some- what with the outline of the outer border. The markings on the under side are paler. The variety iiegreta, which is represented in the plate, has a small black spot at the end of the cell of the hind wings, replacing the black band in the form common upon the Isthmus of Please note that these images are extracted from scanned
