B. Mus. Jun 18/67/ No great differences in sexes of any species of Junonia or Epicalia. Bates says forms separated into distinct genus. Difference wonderful in same genera. In Colias in one sp. female whitish male orange-yellow & black, of which colour both sexes of some species are. In Euplœa females of one species with more plainly spotted anterior wings & striated posterior wings, so altogether more conspicuous than male.
