spotted; there are generally traces of a sub-marginal row of eyes, 

 but these are rarely large or distinct. The principal genera 

 are Pronophila> Westwood, Pedaliodes, Butler, and Lymano- 

 poda, Westwood, but there are several others, all formerly 

 classed under Pronophila. The smallest species of the group 

 belong to Lymanopoda, and measure about an inch and a half 

 across the wings, which are entire, and more brightly coloured 

 than in most of the other genera, some of the species being 

 white or blue. 



Eteona tisiphone (Boisduval) is another species of this group, 

 which is very remarkable for its resemblance to Archonias, an 

 aberrant American genus of Pieridce. It measures about two 

 inches across the wings, which are dark brown, short, and 

 dentated, with an oblique row of yellow spots on the fore- 

 wings, and the centre of the hind-wings filled up with a large 

 yellow patch divided into spots by the nervures. It is found in 

 Chili.
