Plate XXIII — Leilia is Fig. 11

Butterfly.--Like antonia, this species has two extra-median eye-spots on the primaries, and thus may be distinguished from celtis. From antonia it may be separated by its larger size and the deeper reddish-brown color of the upper surfaces. Expanse, 2.10-2.50 inches.

Early Stages.--Unknown.

So far we have received this butterfly only from Arizona.
