LIST OF LEPIDOPTERA FROM JAMAICA, W. I. 



By WM. J. Fox, and C. W. JOHNSON. 



The species included in this list were taken by us during- a short 

 visit to Jamaica in the months of April and part of May, 1891. 

 At the time of our visit insects of all orders were very scarce, 

 though the majority of the species mentioned herein, with a few 

 exceptions, occurred rather commonly. The greater part of the 

 collection was made at Kingston, Bog Walk and Port Antonio. 

 In addition to those species captured by us, we saw at Port An- 

 tonio Urania Sloanus, Aganisthos odius Fab. and two specimens 

 of the very rare Papilio homerus. About twenty-five additional 

 species of moths are not included, as it was impossible for us to 

 identify them at the present time. To Dr. Henry Skinner we 

 are indebted for verifying the identifications.
