of the Amazon Valley. 187 
Genus Acravtis (Boisd.), Blanchard. 
The remarks made on the genus Colenis apply equally to the 
Agraules. The two genera form part of a small group distinguished 
from the rest of the genera allied to Argynnis (1) by the fore-wing 
median nervure forming, at a distance from its terminal fork, an 
angle to receive the disco-cellular nervule, and (2) by the tarsal 
claws being long and apparently free from appendages. 
4, Agraulis Juno, Fab. 
P. Juno, Cramer, 215 B. c. 
The range of this species seems to be pretty nearly coincident with 
those of Colenis Pherusa and C. Julia; but the insect appears to be 
subject to a greater amount of local modification than these two. In 
the humid forests of Ecuador, on the western slope of Chimborazo, 
at an elevation of 3000 or 4000 feet, the type seems to be wholly 
replaced by one of these local forms, which is so well-marked as to 
deserve a separate name and mention*. 
5. Agraulis Lucina, Felder. 
A. Lucina, Feld, Faun. Lep. R. Negro Sup. no. 76. 
This recently described species differs from Ag. Juno in the outer 
margin of the fore wing being straight instead of strongly incurved 
in the middle, and in the under surface of the hind wing having only 
one silvery spot on the disk instead of many. It was a common 
species at Ega, Upper Amazons, flying over flowering bushes on the 
borders of the forest. The specimens described by Dr. Felder came 
from the Upper Rio Negro; the species therefore has a range of 
small extent over the interior of the continent. 
6. Agraulis Vanille, L. 
This well-known and very common species has the widest range 
of all the members of the Colenis and Agraulis groups, being found 
* Agraulis Andicola. Wings of the same shape but much shorter than in Ag. 
Juno, measuring only from 2" 9'" to 3'' in expanse, whilst Ag. Juno reaches in 
its smallest examples 3'' 3''. Above orange-tawny, as in 4g. Juno, but duller 
in hue: the outer and apical borders of the fore wings, instead of being broad, 
irregular, black, and much widened at the apex, are narrow, neatly circumscribed, 
and of a faded brown colour. The two short black costal belts are also paler. 
The border of the hind wing consists of two undulated lines, one marginal, the 
other submarginal. The silvery spots of the under side offer no difference 
worthy of noté from those of 4g. Juno.
