Genus COENONYMPHA, Westwood
(The Ringlets)
"There is a differency between a grub and a butterfly; yet your
butterfly was a grub."--SHAKESPEARE.
_Butterfly._--Small butterflies. The costal, median, and submedian veins
are all strongly swollen. The palpi are very heavily clothed with hairs,
the last joint quite long and porrect. The antennæ are short, delicate,
gradually but distinctly clubbed. The eyes are naked. Both wings on the
outer margin are evenly rounded.
_Egg._--The egg is conical, truncated, flat on the top, rounded at the
base, with the sides marked with numerous low, narrow ribs, between
which are slight cross-lines, especially toward the apex.
_Caterpillar._--The head is globular; the body is cylindrical, tapering
gradually backward, furnished in the last segment with two small
horizontal cone-shaped projections.
