194 Mr. H. W. Bates on the Nymphalinse 
places. One species only is found in the Amazons region, and there 
only in the neighbourhoods of the larger towns. 
17. Junonia Lavinia, Cramer, 21 c. p., and 203 ¢. D. (var.). 
A common insect in grassy lanes and old gardens near Parad. It 
varies considerably in colours and markings. 
Genus Satamis, Boisduval. 
This genus is combined with Junonia by some authors, but very 
incorrectly, as it tends to make the group a very heterogeneous 
assemblage. The true Salames seem to be confined to Africa and 
Madagascar (J. Sabina, an eastern species included by Doubleday in 
this section, belonging to a different group, probably to Rhinopalpa 
of Felder) ; the occurrence, therefore, of a solitary species in Tropical 
America is somewhat remarkable. I doubt much, however, if our 
S. jucunda can be retained in the genus; the direction of the second 
subcostal branch of the fore wing being very different from that of 
the species with which it has been associated. The absence of lobe 
or angle from the outer margin of the hind wing is also a distin- 
guishing character. I think it convenient to treat it provisionally 
as a subgenus (Napeocles); the relation of which to Salamis seems 
to be pretty nearly the same as that of Siderone to Paphia. 
18. Salamis (Napeocles) jucunda, Hibn. Samml. Ex. Schm. 
*This fine insect, which, as already observed, has no near relative 
in Tropical America, is found only in swampy and thinned parts of 
the forest that clothes the delta-lands of the Amazons, in the neigh- 
bourhood of Para, on the island of Maraj6, and near the mouth of the 
Tocantins. It prefers the humid cacao-groves on the islands, settling 
on fallen fruits; its flight is low, but exceedingly swift. 
Genus Evunica (Hibn.), Felder. 
Syn. Cybdelis, Hewitson, Exot. Butt. 
Myscelia and Callianira, Doubleday, in D. & H. Gen. Di. Lep. 
butterflies whose larvae, as far as known, have long-branched spines 
to their heads, besides the usual shorter-branched spines on the seg- 
ments of the body. They are all strong in flight, although differing 
in habits and mode of progression, as explained in the introduction. 
The Eunice have no close relationship to any of the foregoing genera, 
but are intimately linked by intermediate forms with several of those 
which follow, such as Callicore, Antigonis, Epicalia, and so forth.
