Mayer, — Color and Color-Patterns, 
PLATE 2. 
Diagrams to illustrate the laws which govern the Color- Patterns of Lepidoptera. 
Fig. 6. Euthalia bellata (W. L. Distant, ‘82-86, Plate 43, Fig. 12). Illustrates 
the law of bilaterality of spots. See p, 185. 
Zethera musa (G. Semper, *86—92, Taf. 7, Fig. 10). Bilaterality of 
double spots. See p. 183. 
Fig. 8. Eye-spots in Morpho. See p. 182, 183. 
Fig. 9. Parthenos gambrisius (W. L. Distant, ’82-’86, Plate 11, Fig.7). A series 
of complex spots, each one being similar to the rest, and bilaterally 
symmetrical. 
Figs. 10, 11. Ornithoptera urvillana and O. priamus (R. H. F. Ripon, ’89-"95). 
Spots within spots, all being bilaterally symmetrical. 
Figs. 12, 13. Hestia jasonia and H. leuconoe. Axis of lateral symmetry 
(H, 1), for spots passes through center of interspace. H. jasonia 
(F. Moore, °90-96, Plate 3, Fig. 1). H. leuconoe (G. Semper, 
86-92, Taf. 1, Fig. 3). 
Fig. 14. Papilio emalthion, to illustrate fusion of two rows of spots. 
Fig. 15. Ornithoptera trojana, an apparent exception to the law of bilaterality. 
See p. 187. 
Fig. 16. Limenitis proserpina (S. H. Scudder, ’88—89, Plate 2, Fig. 9), showing 
fusion of two rows of differently colored spots. See p. 187. 
Fig. 17. Saturnia spini, false eye-spot. See p. 187. 
Fig. 18. Cases of degeneration of bands of color. See p. 184. 
Fig. 19. Missanga patina (IF. Moore, 9096, Plate 72, Fig. 2°). Exceptional 
form of eye-spot. See foot note p. 186. 
Figs. 20-28. Hypothetical conditions of coloration, not found in nature, being 
contrary to the laws of color-pattern. See p. 188.
