LIMENITIS. dll 
Guatemala in the department of Vera Paz. Here we used not unfrequently to meet 
with it, especially in the neighbourhood of San Gerénimo and in open places near Santa 
Rosa at an elevation of more than 4000 feet above the sea. 
LIMENITIS. 
Limenitis, Fabricius, in Ill. Mag. f. Ins. vi. p. 281 (1807) ; Westwood, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 274. 
Nearly thirty species are included in this genus which belong to North America, 
Europe, and Asia, including the Philippine Islands, Celebes, Java, and other islands of 
those seas. In our country but one species occurs, and this only on the northern 
frontier of Mexico. This insect is perhaps only a modified form of one of the widely 
distributed species of North America. The species from this region seems quite 
congeneric with Limenitis camilla of Europe, which diverges slightly from the typical 
L. populi, the atrophied lower discocellular nervule of the primaries meeting the median 
at the origin of the second branch instead of beyond it, and in having a rudimentary 
spur on the lower side of the median as in Adelpha, this spur being absent in L. popult. 
The subcostal nervure of the primaries of LZ. camilla (the species we have dissected) 
emits two branches before the end of the cell; the upper discocellular is short and 
directed forwards, the middle curves rather abruptly into the lower radial, and the 
atrophied lower discocellular is sinuous and meets the median at the origin of the 
second median branch. The front legs of the male have a moderately stout coxa 
>4 femur + trochanter, tibia < femur ; tarsus slender pointed > tibia; eyes smooth ; 
terminal joint of palpi very short, middle joint long and of nearly uniform width. 
The male secondary sexual organs have a pointed tegumen, beneath which two chitinous 
slips meet in the middle line forming a short spine; the harpagones are long and 
decurved, projecting considerably beyond the point of the tegumen; there is on the 
inner surface an upturned lobe slightly serrated on the edges, as in so many species of 
Adelpha. The penis is short.

It is doubtful if this form is really separable from the more northern L. astyanar 
(Fabr.) or, as Mr. W. H. Edwards calls it, Z. wrswla (Fabr.)'’. The primaries are,
