LIMNAS. II. 



LIMNAS LYCISCA. 7, 8. 9. 



L. Lycisca. Boisdiival MS. Douhleday — Brit. Mas. Cat. {imdescribed). 



Upperside blue-black. Anterior wing crossed beyond the middle from the 

 costal margin to the anal angle, where it is widest, by a narrow curved l)and of 

 orange. Posterior wing with the outer margin orange. 



Underside as above, with a minute spot of orange on the costal margin, near 

 the base of the anterior wing. 



Expan. l-i-Q- in. Hab. Minas Geraes. 



In the Collections of W. W. Saunders and W. C. Hewitson. 



This is a very variable species. In some examples the Ijand of the anterior -wing is lighter in 

 colour and broken into spots ; in some it is absent, with the exception of a terminal spot at the anal 

 angle, and others are without it altogether. 



LIMNAS AGRIA. 10. 



L. Afjria. Boisd. MS. Bouljledai/ — Brit. Mas. Cat. {/r/'descrided). 



Upperside black. Anterior wing crossed at the middle from the costal margin 

 to near the anal angle by a broad Ixaud of orange, which, bending inwardly, occupies 

 the costal margin nearly to the base ; inner margin with a narrow band of the same 

 colour from its base to beyond its middle. Posterior wing with a broad band of 

 orange (joining the last) on its costal margin from the base to the middle. Each 

 wing with four conical orange spots on the outer margin. 



T'nderside as above, but much lighter, with the exception of the nervures, which 

 are distinctly marked. 



Expan. 1-1% in. Hab. Brazil. 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 



In some examples, the females, I believe, the transverse band of the anterior wing is much 

 narrower than the figure ; the conical spots on the margin are wanting.
