LEMONIAS. 459 
rather abruptly decurved towards the distal end; there is a spinous patch near the 
proximal end. | 
Regarding the bursa copulatrix of females, we note nothing in L. sudias or in 
L. emulius; in L. penthea are two hemispherical structures each terminating in a 
chitinous edge armed with five distinct dentations; the teeth of these two structures 
fit into each other like the cogs of two wheels; there seems to be a duct leading from 
them towards the exterior opening. We have not previously met with any structure 
like this, and we cannot speak very positively respecting it.

Anticis supra fusco-nigris maculis magnis obscurioribus valde distinctis notatis, eis in cellula et ad marginem 
externum griseo-ceruleo tenuissime circumcinctis, regione costali quoque ejusdem coloris, angulo anali 
atomato et posticis (preter basin) letissime aurantiis ; subtus maculis pagine superioris griseo distincte 
marginatis et inter eas hoc colore atomatis, posticis fere albis maculis quibusdam nigricantibus ad coste 
basin. Antennis nigris albo crebre annulatis. 
9 mari similis sed posticis sordide albidis nec aurantiis. distinguenda.

Mr. Butler, who described this species, compares it with L. emulius of South America, 
a butterfly to which it is certainly very closely allied. The orange colour of the 
‘secondaries is deeper in tint and extends nearer the base, and the primaries are darker, 
their spots being much less distinctly margined with grey. 
Van Patten’s collection contained four specimens, which are all we have seen from 
Costa Rica. Mr. Champion only captured a single male in Chiriqui; this was taken 
on the margin of the forest region west of the volcano at an elevation of 4000 feet. 
2. Lemonias lilina. (Tab. XLIV. fig. 21.) 
Lemonias lilina, Butl. Ent. Monthl. Mag. vi. p. 252, t. 1. £.8 - 
Anticis rufo-brunneis ceeruleo variegatis, plaga magna triangulari ad medium coste, angulo anali et bitriente 
parte marginis interni et posticis preter basin niveis, anticis linea valde sinuata transversa plagam costalem 
attingente nigra. Antennis albo annulatis. 
Hab. Muxico (22); Pawama, David (Champion). 
The type of this pretty species was presented to the British Museum by E. Doubleday 
in 1848 with fifty-nine other butterflies from various localities. Its Mexican origin 
must be considered more than doubtful. We have lately received fresh specimens from 
Mr. Champion, who met with the species flying about bushes in the thinly wooded 
savanna regions of the low country.
