26 DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 



The white spots on the underside of the posterior wing of Maecenas are much less distinctly 

 defined, the large white spot near the base is shorter, the double zigzag white lines which cross 

 the wing of Timoleon (converging into one) are scarcely seen in Maecenas, and the slender 

 white line which in Timoleon connects the basal spot and the transverse lines is in Maecenas 

 represented by a round spot.
