Everes comyntas and amyntula (Lepid.). 



By G. T. BETHUNE-BAKER, Edgbaston, Birmingham, England. 



(Plate V) 



A few years ago, when the late J. W. Tutt was preparing 

 his history of Everes argiades for his work British Lepidop- 

 tera, he asked me for my views on the species and its allies. 

 This involved an intricate correspondence with my friend and 

 also with Dr. Chapman, who was likewise working at the spe- 

 cies with the same object. It led, later on, to considerable re- 

 search as to the Eastern forms of the genus and in like manner 

 to those from the far West. In this paper I propose to con- 

 sider these latter only, inasmuch as the questions arising among 

 the Indian and Chinese species do not enter into the relation- 

 ship of comyntas and its allies. Primarily my best thanks are 

 due to Mr. W. P. Comstock, of New York, who has taken 

 great trouble and care in elucidating the number of broods in 

 that area and in giving me a bibliographical list of the species
