NYMPH ALIN^. 209 



under side is almost identical in the two species ; except that in Ddlus the 

 pale-yellow bar of the fore-wing is expanded into a wide space reaching almost 

 to base, the ground-colour of the hind-wing is paler, and the cellular spots in 

 both wings are darker. The wings of Delms are, however, considerably longer, 

 especially the fore-wings, which are much produced apically.

Genus JUNONIA. 



Junonia (and Alcyoneis), Hlibn., Yerz. Bek. Schmett., pp. 34, 35 (18 16); 

 E. Doubl. (Sect. I.), Gen. Diurn. Lep., i. p. 208 (1849). 



Imago. — Head of moderate size, clothed with short hair ; eyes 

 smooth ; palin of moderate length, scaly, clothed with long fine hair 

 above, and very short hair beneath, — terminal joint short, rather wide, 

 moderately acute at tip ; antennm short, with a short, blunt, abruptly- 

 formed, spoon-shaped club. 



Thorax moderately robust, scaly, with a little scanty hair posteriorly 

 on the back. Fore-wings less produced apically than in Pyra^neis, but 

 otherwise similar in shape, except that costa is more arched ; neuration 

 also similar, but middle disco-cellular nervule much longer, and lower 

 one obsolete, leaving discoidal cell quite open. Hind-wings as in 

 Fyrameis, but anal angle more or less markedly projecting ; dentation 

 on first median nervule always more or less prominent, and that on 

 third median sometimes strongly so ; lower disco-cellular nervule quite 

 obsolete. Fore-legs of $ small, slender, thinly set with fine hairs, scaly ; 

 of the $ but little larger, smooth, scaly, with hairs only on under side 

 of femur. 



Abdomen of moderate length, rather slender. 



Larva. — Rather stout, and of nearly even thickness throughout. 

 Head usually bifid superiorly, with a pair of short horns ; all the other 

 segments bearing rather short, strong, branched spines. 



Pupa. — Thick and rounded, scarcely angulated ; head and thorax 

 usually blunted, the former sometimes moderately bifid ; dorso-abdo- 

 minal tubercles small. 



Junonia — here restricted to Doubleday's " Section I." — is well 

 characterised structurally by its smooth eyes, short and abruptly-clubbed 

 antennae, quite open discoidal cells, and fore-legs almost hairless in the
