Genus Lemonias 
with the primaries from the base to the limbal area, and inwardly 
as far as the bottom of the cell and the first median nervule, red. 
The wings are profusely marked with white spots variously 
disposed. The under side is accurately depicted in our plate. 
Expanse, i.ioinch. 
Early Stages. —These have not been studied. 
The Mormon is found in Utah, New Mexico, Arizona, and 
California. 
(2) Lemonias duryi, Edwards, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 10, $ 
(Dury’s Metal-mark). 
Butterfly. —The only specimen as yet known is the type 
figured in our plate. I doubt whether it is entitled to specific 
rank, and am inclined to believe it to be a form of the succeeding 
species in which red has replaced the greater part of the gray on 
the upper side of both wings. Expanse, 1.25 inch. 
Early Stages. —Unknown. 
The specimen came from New Mexico. 
(3) Lemonias cythera, Edwards, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 4, $, 
underside; Fig. 5, $ (Cythera). 
Butterfly. — Distinguished from L. mormo by the red sub¬ 
marginal band on the secondaries on the upper side, the greater 
prevalence of red on the primaries, and by the tendency of the 
spots on the under side of the secondaries, just after the costa, 
to fuse and form an elongate pearly-white ray. The sub¬ 
marginal spots on the lower side of the fore wings are smaller 
than in mormo. The sexes do not differ except in size. Ex¬ 
panse, 1.00-1.30 inch. 
Early Stages. —Unknown. 
Cythera is found in Arizona and Mexico. 
(4) Lemonias virgulti, Behr, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 6 , 6 (Behr’s 
Metal-mark). 
Butterfly. — Much like the preceding species on the upper side 
of the wings, but darker. The hind wings on the under side are 
much darker than in L. cythera , and the pearly-white spots 
relatively smaller, standing out very distinctly on this darker 
ground. Expanse, .90-1.10 inch. 
Early Stages .— Undescribed. 
Virgulti is common in southern California and Mexico. 
(5) Lemonias nais, Edwards, Plate XXVIII, Fig. 8, $ ; Fig. 
9, $ (Nais).
