l32 LLOYD'S NATURAL HISTORY. 



U. Sub-costal branch of the secondaries in the <? 

 emitted at the end of the cell. (Type, Picris 

 nemesis, Latr.) 



ACMETOPTERON. 



b. First sub-costal branch of the primaries emitted at the 

 end of the cell. (Type Papilio indite, L.) 



ENANTIA. 



D. First sub-costal branch of the Primaries free. (Type, 

 Pier is nehemia, Boisd.) 



PSEUDOPIERIS. 



The type of Dismorphia is Z>, lais (Cramer), a rather scarce 

 Butterfly from Surinam, which measures about two and one- 

 third inches across the wings. The fore-wings are black, with 

 a red bar from the base running along the upper part of the 

 cell, and curving downwards at its extremity. There is another 

 red band on the inner-margin, and a large red spot towards 

 the hinder angle ; there is also a yellow sub-apical band. On 

 the hind-wings, the costal area is white, the middle of the wing 

 red, and the marginal area black, 



D. amphione (Cramer), which many authors regard as the 

 type of Dismorphia, is very like the last species, and also occurs 

 in Surinam ; but the fore-wings are broadly streaked with red 

 at the base, and they have a yellow band at the end of the cell, 

 and some yellow sub-apical spots. 



L. astynome, Dalman, the type of the genus Leptalis, re- 

 sembles D. amphione, but has much longer and narrower wings, 

 expanding from 2^ to 2^4 inches. The fore-wings are black 

 with a short sub-costal fulvous stripe, and a longer broad fulvous 

 band towards the inner-margin ; beyond is an oblique yellow 

 band, and two yellow spots at the tip. The hind-wings are 

 yellow in the middle, shading into fulvous, bordered with black
