Linnæus says o f this species, “ Habitat in Indiis,” which may be either taken for the
East or West In d ie s; Roesel calls it “ die indianische goldborte;” and Donovan states
that his specimen was received from China. The real locality, however, not only o f this
butterfly, but o f all the species o f the section to which it belongs, is South America and
the West Indies. M. Boisduval g ives the Argante o f Hubner, Lolia o f Godart, Aricia o f
Cramer, Melanippe Cramer, and Larra o f Fabricius, as varieties o f the female o f this
species.
The plant represented in the plate is Melastoma C h bw isis.
