under side is almost identical in the two species ; except that in Dellus the 
pale-yellow bar of the fore-wing is expanded into a wide space reaching almost 
to base, the ground-colour of the hind-wing is paler, and the cellular spots in 
both wings are darker. The wings of Delius are, however, considerably longer, 
especially the fore-wings, which are much produced apically.

Genus JUNONIA. 
Junonia (and Alcyoneis), Hiibn., Yerz. Bek. Schmett., pp. 34, 35 (181 6) ; 
E. Doubl. (Sect. I.), Gen. Diurn. Lep,, i. p. 208 (1849). 
Imago. — Head of moderate size, clothed with short hair ; eyes 
smooth ; palpi of moderate length, scaly, clothed with long fine hair 
above, and very short hair beneath, — terminal joint short, rather wide, 
moderately acute at tip ; antennm short, with a short, blunt, abruptly- 
formed, spoon-shaped club. 
Thorax moderately robust, scaly, with a little scanty hair posteriorly 
on the back. Fore-iviiigs less produced apically than in Fyrameis, but 
otherwise similar in shape, except that costa is more arched ; neuration 
also similar, but middle disco- cellular nervule much longer, and lower 
one obsolete, leaving discoidal cell quite open. Hind-tuings as in 
Pyrameis, but anal angle more or less markedly projecting ; dentation 
on first median nervule always more or less prominent, and that on 
third median sometimes strongly so ; lower disco-cellular nervule quite 
obsolete. Fore-legs of $ small, slender, thinly set with fine hairs, scaly ; 
of the $ but little larger, smooth, scaly, with hairs only on under side 
of femur. 
Abdomen of moderate length, rather slender. 
Larva. — Rather stout, and of nearly even thickness throughout. 
Head usually bifid superiorly, with a pair of short horns ; all the other 
segments bearing rather short, strong, branched spines. 
Pupa. — Thick and rounded, scarcely angulated ; head and thorax 
usually blunted, the former sometimes moderately bifid ; dorso-abdo- 
minal tubercles small. 
Junonia — here restricted to Doubleday's " Section I." — is well 
characterised structurally by its smooth eyes, short and abruptly-clubbed 
antennae, quite open discoidal cells, and fore-legs almost hairless in the
