The genus Junonia comprises about 33 species, of which 11 occur in the Oriental region. Of these, 6 are found in Vietnam - iphita, atlites, orithya, hierta, almana and lemonias.
I have seen Junonia lemonias only once, in scrubby vegetation along the dyke at Van Long Nature Reserve. I am a bit surprised because, as far as I know, this species can occupy a wide range of habitats and therefore should be more common.
