DAPTONOUKA. — CALLIDEYAS. 139 



<J D. panamensi similis, Bed alis flavis (nee sulphureis). 



$ feminae monstrosce similis, sed anticis flavis aurantio suffusis, poBtieis aurantiis. 



Hah. Panama, Volcan de Chiriqui 2 {Champion), Bugaba \ Veraguas (Arce). 



This and the preceding species both belong to the section of Pierinse of which 

 P. lycimnia is the oldest known form. The pale yellow colour of the male is of the 

 same tint as that of P.polyhymnia of Colombia, but that sex of D.florinda may readily 

 be recognized by its dark apex and outer borders. The specimens which were described 

 by Mr. Butler were obtained by Arce at Bugaba, and Mr. Champion found it on the 

 slopes of the Volcan de Chiriqui as high as from 4000 to 5000 feet. 



Dr. Staudinger has kindly lent us the types of the species and varieties described in 

 his paper on new South-American butterflies cited above, so that we are enabled to 

 compare them with Mr. Butler's types, and we have no doubt that we have rightly 

 assigned to them their respective positions. 



A specimen from Veraguas is figured. 



3. Laptonoura isandra. (Tab. LXI. figg. 13, 14 6 .) 



Pieris isandra, Boisd. Sp. Gen. i. p. 490 l . 



Daptonura isandra, Butl. P. Z. S. 1872, p. 52 \ ~~~ -1 



Alis cretaceo-albis, anticis ad apicem angustissime fusco limbatis ; subtus anticis macula ad cellulae finem 



elongata pallide brunnea ad apices et posticis omnino ochraceo-flavis. 

 5 mari similis, sed alis ocbraceis (nee cretaceo-albis), subtus area apicali et posticis omnino croceis. 



Sab. Mexico \ Teapa in Tabasco (II II. Smith), Valladolid in Yucatan ( Gaumer) ; 

 Guatemala, Polochic valley (F. D. G. & 0. #.), Tucuru, Panzos, San Geronimo 

 {Champion). 



Boisduval's description of this species was based upon a specimen from Mexico. The 

 only examples we have from that country are from the provinces of Tabasco and 

 Northern Yucatan; but in Guatemala it is not an uncommon species in Vera Paz, 

 especially in the valley of the Polochic river, where it occurs from near the sea-level to 

 a height of about 3000 feet. Mr. Butler states that it is found not only in Nicaragua 

 but also in Jamaica and even Brazil, but it is unknown to us from any point south of 

 Guatemala. 



B. Terminal joint of the palpi very short in one or both sexes. 



CALLIDRYAS. 



Callidryas, Boisduval, Sp. Gen. i. p. 605 ; Doubleday, Gen. Diurn. Lep. p. 66 (partim) ; Butler, 

 Lep. Ex. p. 155. 



Mr. Butler split up the old genus Callidryas into four genera which we have no 

 difficulty in recognizing, and we even carry his subdivision further by separating C. trite 

 from the rest of his genus Phcebis.
