LIMNAS XENIA. 11. 



L. Xenia. Boisd. MS. Bovhleday — Brit. Mus. Cat. {iindescribed). 



Upperside blue-black. Anterior wing with a small crimson spot near the base 

 (sometimes wanting), crossed from the costal margin near tlie apex to the middle of 

 the outer margin by an irregular narrow band of orange, with two or three small spots 

 of the same colour between it and the anal angle with one of which it is sometimes 

 united. Posterior wing broadly bordered with orange, the outer margin with live or 

 six round black spots ; the spot second from the anal angle, which is very minute, is 

 sometimes wanting. 



Underside as above, except that the anterior wing has two spots of crimson 

 near the base and the posterior wing one. 



Expan. l-j^o in. Hab. Minas Geraes. 



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



This species is very nearly allied to M. Lycea of Hubner, from which it differs chiefly in tlie 

 wider spotted orange margin of the posterior wing ; they are probably vai-ieties of the same species, 

 the black marginal spots being sometimes present in Lycea, though minute. 



LIMNAS BARCA. 12. 



L. Barca. Boisd. MS. Bouhleday — Brit. Mun. Cat. {imdescribed). 



Upperside black. Anterior wing with a large oblong spot from its base to 

 beyond the middle, tending in a point towards the anal angle, and a transverse band 

 between its termination and the apex ; orange. Posterior wing with the basal half, 

 except the margins, orange, its outer edge deeply sinuated at the nervures, with half 

 way between it and the outer margin tlu'ee or four small white spots. 



Underside as above, except that the white spots (jf the posterior wing are larger 

 and more distinct. 



Expan. 1^ in. Hab. Brazil. 



In the Collection of W. C. Hewitson. 



This species bears considerable resemblance to L. Thyatira of the former plate in the position uf 

 the orange spots and band.
