The species of this genus are natives of Brazil and the hotter parts of South America. Of their habits, we are informed bv 

 M. Lacordaire, that they "vivcnt dans les broussailles, le long des chemins, et se posent a terre ou sur le fe^iUes, d'oreUe ne 

 senvolent que pour aller se poser de nouveau a quelques pas dc distance." II. Philoctetes is very rare; but on one occasion at 

 Macouna he found a consulerable number in a few hours. Dindymene frequents thick woods, flics' low, ^nd alights on dead leaves 

 All the other species are common Of their transformations, we are only acquainted with Madame Merian's figure of the tvpLa 

 species, n^staken by Linnaeus for the larva of his Pap. Anacardii (Vanessa Aglatonice Godart). It is found .at Surinam Fn he 

 Acajou (Anacardium), and is described as being clothed with long tufts of white haii-s at the sides of the body ''""nam, on tiie

The insect represented m our PI. LMI. f. 2. ,s the male, and Cramer's pi. 291. f. A.B. the female, of a species .listinct from the real Lena of Rosel 

 and Lmnocus the female of which is repr^ented by Cramer, pi. 198. f. D. E. Cramer {Pap. exot. iv. p. 5.) considered the former insect as the male of the 

 latter: La forme des ades infeneures diHerc de celle des femelles comme ,^tant presque a queue." The male of Lena, however, has not the hind win^s tailed 

 resemblmp; the female in this respect; it differs, however, from the latter in having narrower fore wings, and the hind wings marke.l opposite the eUremitv 

 ot the al„lomen with a nearly rounded buff-coloured patch of silky scales, with a few very delicate long dusky hairs. The spots on the hi.ul wines are more 

 distinct, and not confluent as in the tailed species, which Hiibner properly separated in las Verzeichniss ; it is also distinguished by a transverse row of sm-,11 

 whitish spots across the middle of the discoidal cell of the fore wing.s. The female of H. Dracontis has the hin<l wings much suffused with lule blue on 

 which the white spots are placed. This sex is tailed as well as (he male, which latter differs in its narrower fore wings, and in the hind win-s hein- marked 

 nearly opposite the extremity of the body with a small elongate-oval buff spot much suffused with brown. The fore wings in this species have a transverse 

 row of blackish spots across the middle of the discoidal cell of the fore wings. ' transverse 



The small pale, spot opposite the extremity of the bo.ly, indicating the male sex, is also found in II. Dindymene. It is an important character as or 

 the relationship of these insects with Morpho and its allies. " ^
