of pale spots. The base of the fore wings is crossed by oblong dusky 

 spots, as in L. Epulus; and beyond the middle are two broadish, irre- 

 gular, flexuous, dusky bands, followed by a clear reddish-tawny belt 

 continuous from the costa to the hind margin, the outer margin being 

 dusky brown. The hind wings are generally reddish tawny, without 

 distinct black markings (although these are sometimes faintly apparent 

 as macular belts), except the submarginal row of blackish spots. 

 This species was the prevalent form on the extensive natural 



" campos " of the Tapajos. L. Epulus is common in all waste, open 



grounds near towns, on the Amazons. 



Lemonias Pione. 



S . 1" 6'". Slaty greenish, silky, shining, above and beneath. Fore 

 wing triangular ; costa incurved in the middle ; apex acute, slightly 

 produced, outer margin nearly straight. Hind wing gently rounded 

 outwards. Both wings crossed above and beneath by a large number 

 of short blackish streaks in the interspaces of the nervures, and having 

 a submarginal row of black spots. Fringe blackish, except a white 

 spot near the apex of the fore wing. 



Head, body, and legs dark brown. 



Hab. Para. Bears some resemblance in form and markings to L. 

 ocypore (Geyer in Hlibn. Zutr. f. 989, 990), which is probably an 

 Emesis, 



Lemonias Galena. 



(J & $ . 1" 9'". Wings rather short and broad. Fore-wing costa nearly 

 straight in the middle, arched just before the apex, the latter acute. 

 Above dark reddish-ochreous ; both wings with three short black 

 streaks across the cell, two below the median nervure, and a flexuous 

 line of similar streaks beyond the cell ; outer border darker, reddish, 

 with a faint row of whitish lunules running through it ; outer margins 

 black ; fringe dark brown, with paler spots. 



Beneath lighter tawny ochreous, passing to whitish over the basal por- 

 tions. Basal spots of fore wing encircled with tawny white. Hind 

 wing with a marginal row of dark rusty spots, darker near the anal 

 angle, and surmounted by whitish lunules, a short row of similar

$ . Size and shape of c? (fig- sup. cit.) except that the outer margins 

 of the wings are more rounded. Above dark brown; both wings 

 crossed by a tawny belt, beginning beyond the middle of the fore- 

 wing costa, curving to near the hind angle, and prolonged as a sub- 

 marginal stripe on the hind wing, where it assumes a deeper orange 

 hue.
