I can see no sufficient reason for distinguishing Precis from 

 Junonia ; the length of the palpi is a slightly variable character 

 and, taken collectively, the difference in length between those 

 of Precis as compared with Junonia appears to me extremely 

 doubtful: as to the different form of wing, if strictly adhered 

 to, that character would necessitate still further subdivision of 

 the genus.
