CATAGRAMMA LYCA. 38, 39. 
C. Lyca. Doubleday §° Hewitson, Gen. Diur. Lep. Pl. 28. 
UprersipE blue-black; crossed at the middle by a broad band of orange, 
sinuated on its inner side. Posterior wing with a large spot of glossy blue beyond 
the middle. 
Unpersipe black ; anterior wing as above, with a line at the base of the costal 
margin yellow ; a narrow band across the apex also yellow, succeeded by a sub- 
marginal line of silvery blue. Posterior wing crossed by three wnconnected narrow 
bands of yellow, two before the middle, followed by six oval spots (in two lines, of 
three each), of light blue, centred with white, the third band beyond the middle 
followed by a line of silvery blue, which runs parallel to it and the outer margin, and 
nearly joms a spot of blue at the anal angle.

CATAGRAMMA MIONINA. 40, 41. 
Uppersipx blue-black ; anterior wing crossed before the middle by a large oval 
spot of orange. Posterior wing with a large spot of blue glossed with green beyond 
the middle. 
Unpersipr black; anterior wing as above, the costal margin at the hase 
of the wing yellow, a band across the apex also yellow, followed by a submar- 
ginal line of silvery blue. Posterior wing with a large broad inner circle of yel- 
low, open near the anal angle, and enclosing five oblong spots of light blue, 
centred with white. Outside of this circle there is a second broken circle, one 
portion of which commences at the costal margin, near the base, crosses the wing, 
and running parallel to the inner margin, joins the inner circle xear the middle 
of the wing. The other portion of the circle commences at the costal margin, 
where it is jomed to the immer circle, runs parallel to the outer margin, and ends 
before the anal angle, where it touches one of four spots of silvery blue, the largest 
of which passes inside the central circle.

The three very beautiful butterflies of the plate are so much alike, that, although two of them 
have been figured before, I have thought it best to place them together, in order to show clearly the 
points in which they differ from the new species which I have introduced ; which, though it resembles 
Brome most in general appearance, is more nearly allied to Lyca. 
From Brome it differs in the number and arrangement of the central blue spots, and the 
Junction of the yellow circular bands, From Lyea, in having the submarginal band of the posterior 
wing yellow, instead of blue.
