BUTTERFLIES OF PARAGUAY, AND LA PLATA. 199 
Junonia Lavinia, Cr. This, and its marked var. Geneveva, Cr., 
both come abundantly from both Paraguay and Corrientes. They 
affect open places, from Noy. to Mar. 
Anartia Jatrophe, Linn. Seasons, localities, habits, and 
abundance, as the preceding. A wide-spread species. 
A. Amalthea, Linn. ‘The form in which this species* occurs 
is abundant from Goya to Asuncion, generally on the banks of 
brooks. Oct. to Feb. 
A. Corona, mihi. The 1st and 2nd subcostal nervules both 
present; springing very close together, both anastomosing with 
the costal, and both presently arching from it, and lost in the 
costa: disco-cellulars exactly as in Jatrophe. Above, all the w. 
brownish black, paler at base, and along inner margin. A broad 
band of orange, ill-defined, divided by the blackish nervules, runs 
parallel to, and just within, the margin: two angled bands of 
white cross the disc.-cell in the fore, and one in the hind w. In the 
latter the nervules are bordered with pearly white. Beneath, the 
pattern is.as above; but more distinct; the.white nerve-borders 
spread so as to make much of the area white; the orange of the 
sub.-marg. band is paler; but in the h. w. becomes scarlet at its 
inner side. Squamation somewhat sparse. Exp. 2°2 inches. 
The outline of the wings is exactly that of Jatrophe ; and, unlike 
as it appears, the pattern of that species may be traced, especially 
in the angled bands within the cell of f. w. My friends’ estancia 
bears the name of Corona, which name I adopt for this rather 
curious Anartia. One example in my cabinet, which was taken 
near Asuncion, in the \open, in Feb. (See fig. 1). 
Temenis Laothoe, Cr. Sent, with no note, from Paraguay. 
Eunica Maja, Faby. ‘Taken in all parts of Paraguay, from 
Oct. to Jan.; in woods, rather scarce. 
E. Margarita, Godt. Paraguay. On the banks of a brook 
near Asuncion; scarce. Nov. to Jan. Corrientes. <A single 
example, taken in April, in a path through the monte. 
Pyrrhogyra Arge, mihi. This may possibly be only a local 
* I do not think this can pretend to claim a specifie status; but it is a fine and 
very striking var.; and one which shows no tendency to change in a large number 
of examples, from all parts. Expanse to above 2°5 inches. Of the six white spots 
that run across the middle of the front wing (Cram. ccix. a,B.; Doub. & Hew. xxiv. 
5), the anterior five are changed into a broad transverse band of white, crossed by 
the sub-costal and discoidal nervules, as fine black lines. No example with the 
ordinary facies has occurred.
