This species and the two which have been previously figured, L. Latona and Irene, form a most 

 beautiful and interesting group. They are all males, and liive L. Sudias of the plate, have partners 

 with very little resemblance to them on the upperside. Mr. Bates has kindly sent me a rough sketch 

 of the female of L. Irene, which is of a plain brown, the anterior wing crossed by a rufous band.
