latter, however, seems to be more nearly allied to G. candiope^ 

 excepting that no mention is made of the discal series of tawny- 

 spots. 



JUNONIA, Hiibner. 



7. Junonia andremiaja. 



Vanessa andremiaja, Boisduval, Faun. Madag. p. 45. n. G (1833). 



^. Fianarantsoa. 



This species has been supposed to be the female of J. musa^ 

 but only because it agrees with that species in the form of its 

 wings. The sexes of both are common in collections ; but no- 

 body seems to have troubled himself to examine their sexual 

 characters, and therefore the error has remained unchallenged. 

 In the present series J. andremiaja is a male and J. musa 

 a female. 



J. andremiaja is said by Mr. Cowan to be " common in 

 houses on warm days." 



8. Junonia musa. 



Vanessa musa, Guerin, Jcon. Regne Anim. Ins. texte, p. 474 (1844). 



? . Fianarantsoa. 



" Very common near Fianarantsoa ; can be caught in hun- 

 dreds, in any shady place, during the heat of the day. The 

 chrysalis has brilliant silvery spines." 



9. Junonia rJiadama. 



Junonia rhadatna, Boisduval, Faun. Madag. p. 44. n. 4, p], 7. fig. 2 

 (1833). 



(J ? . Very common. Betsileo. 



10. Junonia ej)iclelia. 



Vanessa epiclelia, Boisduval, Faun. Madag. p. 44. n. 2, pi. 7. fig. 3 

 (1833). 



^. " Common." 



" Bred by me : fifteen days in chrysalis of a dark colour " 

 {Rev. W. D. Cowan). Chiefly differs from J. clelia in the 

 narrower cream-coloured markings of the upper surface. 



Pyeameis, Hiibner. 



11. Pyrameis cardui. 



Papilio cardui, Linnaeus, Faun. Suec. p. 276. n. 1054 (1761).
