Genus Anartia 



(3) Junonia genoveva, Cramer, Plate XX, Fig. 9, $ (Geno- 

 veva). 



Butterfly. — Much darker above than either of the two pre- 

 ceding species. The transverse subapical band is pale yellow, 

 almost white; the ocelli of the wings are more as in lavinia than 

 m'cosma. Expanse, about 2.00 inches. 



This form, if found at all in our fauna, is confined to the ex- 

 treme South. I have seen and possess some specimens reputed 

 to have come from Texas. The specimen figured in the plate 

 was taken in Jamaica, where this form is prevalent. 



Genus ANARTIA, Doubleday 



Butterfly. — The head is small; the eyes are round and promi- 

 nent; the tongue is long; the antennae are relatively long, having 

 the club short, compressed, and pointed. The palpi have the 

 second joint thick, the third joint gradually taper- 

 ing and lightly clothed with scales. The fore 

 wings are rounded at the apex, and have the 

 outer and inner margins somewhat excavated. 

 The outer margin of the hind wings is sinuous, 

 produced at the end of the third median nervule. 

 The cell of the hind wing is open. The sub- 

 costal nervules in the fore wing are remarkable 

 because of the tendency of the first and second to 

 fuse with the costal vein. The prothoracic feet of the

the writer, await description. 



There are four species belonging to this genus, only one of 

 which is found within the limits of the United States. The 

 others are found in Central and South America.

 White Peacock). 



Butterfly.— There can be no mistake made in the identifica- 

 tion of this species if the figure we give is consulted. The male 

 and female are much alike. Expanse, 1.7S-2.00 inches. 



Early Stages. — So far as is known to me, these have never 

 been described. The butterfly is common throughout the
