Plate XLVl, Fig. 3S, 6 (The Twin-spot). Butterfly.— The upper side of the male is as shown in the plate. The female closely resem- bles the male, but the spots on the fore wing are larger. On the under side the wings are brown, almost as dark as on the upper side. The pri- maries are whitish near the outer angle. The spots of the upper side of the primaries are re- produced on the lower side. The hind wings have three con- spicuous pearly-white spots about the middle, two located one on either side of the second median nervule, and one removed from these, located between the upper radial and the subcostal nervule. Expanse, 5 , inch; ? , inch. Early Stages.— But little is known of these. This is a Southern species, found abundantly in Florida, and ranging northward into Georgia and the Carolinas. A speci- men is reported to have been taken near Albany, New York, and diligent collecting may show thai it has a far more northern range than has heretofore been supposed. Fig. 170.—Neura- tion. of the genus Oligoria, enlarged. Genus POANES, Scudder Butterfly.—The antennae are short; the club is stout, bent, acuminate at the tip. The third joint of the palpi is slender, cy- lindrical, short. The neuration of the genus is shown in the cut. Early Stages.—Nothing is known of these, and they await in- vestigation.
