JTJNONIA. 61 



JUNONIA Doubled. & Hew. 



This may be distinguished from the allied genera by the naked 

 eyes and less hairy anterior legs. In the other genera, these legs 

 are densely clothed with long hairs, and this is also the case with 

 the females of Vanessa and Pyrantels, but in Junonia, though the 

 legs of the males are thickly set with fine hairs, they are short, and 

 do not so entirely cover the legs as to make it difficult to detect 

 their form and even their articulations. The cells of both pairs 

 of wings are always open, except in a few aberrant species. 

 Larvas, with the head and all the segments armed with spines, 

 which make them resemble the larvaB of Argynnis rather than 

 those of Vanessa. Pupa tuberculated, scarcely angular,

Upper side obscure brown, with two black ocellated spots ; iris 

 grayish-yellow ; pupil blue — the lower one much the larger. They 

 are preceded by a fulvous ray, followed by a double grayish mar- 

 ginal ray, almost obsolete in the primaries. These have towards 

 the base two fulvous streaks bordered with black, and between the 

 two ocellate spots a white band or yellowish-white, going from 

 the summit to the terminal edge. There is also a small white spot 

 above the upper ocellus. 



The two ocelli of the secondaries are also of unequal size. The 

 upper one is in part encircled by fulvous, in part by black. It is 

 nearly covered with violet-blue atoms. The inferior one is similar, 

 but much smaller. 



The under side of the primaries is fulvous towards the base, 

 with some grayish lines bordered with black ; paler towards the 

 end, with the two ocelli and the separating band as on the upper 

 side, and ordinarily a second small eye above that of the summit. 



The under side of the secondaries is ferruginous gray, with more 

 obscure wavy lines and a transverse ferruginous brown band, 

 marked with two or three small eyes and two blackish points. 



Body of same color as the wings. Antennae whitish, with the 

 club blackish. Expands two inches and a half.
