Genus CERATINIA, Fabricius Butterfly. — Butterflies of medium size, very closely related in structure to the butterflies of the genus Mechanitis. The pecu- liarity of this genus, by which it may be distinguished from others belong- ing to this subfamily, is the fact that the lower discocellular vein in the hind wing of the male sex is strongly in- angled, while in the genus Mecbaui- tis it is the middle discocellular vein of the hind wing which is bent in- wardly. Early Stages. — Unknown for the most part. There are at least fifty species be- longing to this genus found in the tropical regions of America; only one the genus & said to occur occasionally within the Ceratinia.

Butterfly.— The butterfly is rather small, wings semi-transpar- ent, especially at the apex of the fore wings. The ground-color is pale reddish-orange, with the border black. There are a few irregular black spots on the discal area of the fore wings, and a row of minute white spots on the outer border. There is a black band on the middle of the hind wings, curved to correspond some- what with the outline of the outer border. The markings on the under side are paler. The variety negreta, which is represented in the plate, has a small black spot at the end of the cell of the hind wings, replacing the black band in the form common upon th
