c. Bunea, H. -S. p. 45. Like il/eiis, but with the fasciae and 
all the spots white, except the marginal ones, which are orange ; 
probably a variation of the last. 
Habitat. — South Eussia. (Sarepta). PI. XXXV., 4, 
Of the North American species of Apaturidcc, the three under- 
mentioned species are most nearly allied to those of Europe : — 
A, Idyja, Hub. Samml. Ex. Schmett. (1816). 
A. Alicia, Edw. Butt. N. Amer. i. (1868). 
A. Celtis, Boisd. Lee. Lep. Amer. Sept. p. 210 (1833). 
The latter two species inhabitat New Orleans and Virginia 
respectively. These three species remind one somewhat of A. 
Chjtie in colouring, but the wings in all of them are more pointed 
in shape, and the hind wings generally have a row of ocellated 
spots. The larvae are much more elongated and more Satyriform 
than those of the European species. 
Earn. 7. — NYMPHALIDv$l, Swainson, Phil. Mag. Ser. ii. vol. 
i. p. 187 (1847) ; West. Gen. Hiurn. Lep. p. 143 
(1852). 
Chabactees. — Larva generally cylindrical and armed with 
long spines or with tubercular elevations armed with bristles. 
Pupa usually with angular projection and often decorated 
with metallic spots, always suspended by the tail. 
Imagines. — Middle-sized or large butterflies usually brilliantly 
coloured, and with the wings nearly always more or less emarginate ; 
the pattern of the wings in some genera greatly resembles that 
prevalent in the last family, as in Limenitis, Neptis, &c. ; in others 
there is a tendency towards a design composed of black spots on a 
tawny ground, as in Argijnnis and Mditcea, and in some of the Vanessce, 
other Vanessce are strikingly brilliant, and more varied in their 
coloration than any other European Butterflies. The discoidal 
cell of the hind wings open. The fore legs rudimentary or 
atrophied in both sexes.
