198 Dr. A. G. Butler—A Revision of the 
ground-colour of the under surface from rosy clay-colour to 
ashy grey, which may be seasonal. 
When quite fresh this insect bears a remarkable superficial 
resemblance to Vanessa urtice of Kurope. 
3. Precis Hiibnert. 
Precis Hiibneri, Kirby, in Hiibner’s Exot. Schmett. ed. 2 (1900), p. 24

This insect undoubtedly differs considerably from P. lawnia 
of Cramer, the white belt across the primaries being entirely 
replaced by tawny orange; in the dry phase the orange 
banding almost entirely disappears, with the exception of the 
bars across the discoidal cell. mask! 
Although it is possible that the white belt in Cramer’s 
figures may only indicate a rare variation answering to 
P. genoveva (of which P. flirtea is a tawny-banded form), 
the lack of examples from Surinam renders it impossible to be 
certain. 
4. Precis occidentalis.

Junonia pallens, Felder, Reise der Nov., Lep. iii. p. 401 (1867). 
Pardé and Buenos Ayres. B. M. 
The primaries, especially of the males, are more produced 
and the entire colouring of both surfaces is much paler than 
in P. Hiibneri. Without positive evidence it would be 
premature to regard it as a variety of that insect, just as it 
would be to assume that P. Hiibnert was a variety of 
P. lavinia. 
5. Precis hilaris. 
Junonia hiluris, Felder, Reise der Nov., Lep. iii. p. 400 (1867). 
Paraguay. 
We do not possess this insect, and therefore I cannot 
express an opinion as to its distinctness from P. lavinia. 
6. Precis lavinia. 
Papilio lavinia, Cramer, Pap. Exot. 1. pl. xxi.C, D (1775). 
Papilio larinia, Fabricius, Ent. Syst., Suppl. p. 424 (1798). 
Junonia negra, Felder, Reise der Nov., Lep. ii. p. 399 (1867). 
Junonia divaricata, Felder, t. c. p. 401 (1867). 
Surinam and Rio Negro. 
We do not possess typical examples of this species, and 
therefore cannot assert that the preceding three named forms 
are distinct.
