LEMONIAS. 39 



the present instance Lemonias has been applied by Doubleday 

 and all recent authors to a more or less restricted group, into 

 which the second of Hiibnsr's species will fall, even allowing for 

 his having figured two closely allied species as sexes. We have 

 figured the sexes of a species very closely allied to the types.

This Butterfly measures about an inch or a little more across 

 the wings, which are black in the male, with a large red space 

 on the inner-margin of the fore-wings, and two small white 

 spots towards the tip ; the hind-wings are red, except broadly 

 along the costa, and more narrowly along the hind-margin. 

 The under side of the fore wings is pale yellow, and speckled 

 with black, except along the costa, and more broadly on the 

 hind-margin, where there is an irregular row of white spots. 

 The hind-wings are whitish, spotted and flecked with black, 

 especially towards the hind-margin. The female resembles 

 the male on the under side, except that the fore-wings are pale 

 yellow on the costa to the middle. On the upper side it is 

 black, with a sub-marginal row of white spots, within which are 

 numerous yellowish spots, and on the fore-wings is a broad 

 curved transverse yellowish bar just within the spots, extending 

 from the costa nearly across the wing. It is a common Butterfly 

 in South America.
