second, near the middle of the costal margin, nearly square; the third, half way 
between it and the inner margin, oblong, minute; the fourth, across the apex large 
and oblong. Posterior wing black, with the costal margin broadly white and glossy, 
a broad band of orange parallel to the outer margin from the anal angle to beyond the 
middle of the wing. 
Unperstpg. Anterior wing as above, except that the first and third spots de- 
scribed above form part of a broad white glossy inner margin; that there is an 
indistinct line near the base and spot uear the apex, rufous, and a submarginal row 
of seven minute white spots. Posterior wing black, the centre transparent, two lines

This and the last described species are much alike; they, together with L. Methymna and 
Eumelia, bear a very close analogical resemblance to some of the Ithomias. LL. Methymna and 
Eumelia are so like Ithomia Eurimedia and some other species, that at first sight it requires an 
experienced eye to tell the difference, whilst on the underside, the species in the plate, L. Theonoe and 
Lysinoe, seem to imitate Ithomia Egra and Flora in their beautiful colouring.

Upperstipr. Male. Anterior wing black, with four spots; the first, at the 
base, oblong and orange; the second, on the middle of the costal margin, nearly 
square ; the third, half way between it and the anal angle, round; the fourth, across 
the apex, oblong; all yellow; the apex with two or three indistinct minute white 
spots. Posterior wing orange, the nervures black, the costal margin broadly of a 
pearly white, the outer margin, and a band parallel to it, from near the anal angle, 
and united to it at its middle, black. 
Unprrsipg. Anterior wing as above, except that the first and third spots form 
part of a broad glossy inner margin; that there is a rufous line at the base, and a row 
of six white spots at the apex. Posterior wing orange, with a line passing through 
the cell from the base to the outer margin, and a second and a shorter one parallel to 
the outer margin, black; the outer margin black, with six spots of white, largest at 
the apex; the costal margin clouded, and marked with two large spots of orange- 
yellow. 
Femaxe differs from the male on the upperside in having the first and third spots 
of the anterior wing much larger, in having the glossy white margin of the postertor 
wing replaced by black, marked with a small orange spot. 
Unprrsipn. ‘The first and third spots run together, and occupy most of the 
space which is glossy and white in the male.
