Morphology

Junonia = Juno (opaque) = juno + ia

Formed from the proper name 'Juno' with a Latin name-forming suffix '-ia'; this creates a proper name/taxon rather than a meaning predictable to B1 learners.

Etymology

Junonia as a woman's name is taken from the Roman goddess Juno, the 'queen' of the gods, and from the butterfly group called Junonia. So the name suggests beauty and a proud, elegant feeling.
