AMERICAN LEPIDOPTERA. 345 



a white line, crosses the entire wing, nearly straight from costal edge 

 to first branch of median, then zigzag and terminating high up abdomi- 

 nal margin ; on arc a bar like that on primaries and towards base a 

 dark brown stripe edged anteriorly by white, extending from costal to 

 median nervures. 



Body black above, white beneath ; legs and palpi white ; antennae 

 annulated black and white ; club black, tip ferruginous. 



Female. — 1.6 inch. The black costal spot enlarged and extended 

 to middle of hind margin, cutting off a sub-apical purple space ; 

 otherwise as in male. Ou under side the bands are heavier and more 

 distinct.

Lemonias Cythera, n. sp. 



Male. — Expands 1.1 inch. Upper side of primaries copper-red ex- 

 cept a broad band on hind margin and at apex, where the color is fus- 

 cous; of secondaries fuscous, both wings have a sub-marginal row of 

 points on the fuscous ground posterior to which are small round black 

 spots, distinct on secondaries, hardly so on primaries; primaries have a 

 large, irregular, white spot in middle of cell, edged on either side by 

 black ; a smaller spot below this on inner margin and a white point on 

 same margin near base, both edged basally by black; there is also a 

 black point in cell near base; across the disk a sinuous black stripe, 

 on the outer side of which, near costa, are two white spots and a third 

 in the second median interspace ; secondaries have a white spot on 

 costa, another in cell, a smaller one near abdominal margin, the three 

 being in line ; also a white point between the last mentioned spot and 

 base; two small copper-red spots in cell near base, and a large one 

 across the middle of the disk, not reaching either margin, its outer 

 edge rounded and parallel to hind margin, and its inner edge exca- 

 vated by a deep sinus opposite the cell; fringes long, alternate fus- 

 cous and white. 



Under side of primaries deep orange from base to margin ; the spots 

 repeated ; the discal row complete, six spots in all, but the two middle 

 ones minute, each edged basally with black; on hind margin a series 

 of abbreviated white stripes on the interspaces, starting from the mar- 

 ginal edge, each of which includes a blackish point.
