It is worthy of remark that Pamj/liila omalin Edwards, = /«iVi(/o Edw., of which 

 latter the type is in my collection, is ai){iarently identical with T. macsoides Butler, 

 which Elwes sinks as a synonym of T. dura (KoUar). There is some doubt as to 

 the origin of the types of P. omaha. The specimens described as P. omaha came 

 from the collection of the late Mr. Newman of Philadelphia, and were ticketed 

 <' Pike's Peak, Colorado." After writing his descrijitioii, Mr. Edwards returned the 

 specimens to their owner. Subsequently he re-described the species under the name 

 miitgo, basing his description upon a specimen said to have been taken in Kanawha 

 County, West Virginia. This is the specimen standing in my collection. The 

 specimens originally described as P. omaha by Edwards are believed to be the 

 ones now standing in the collection of the American Entomological Society in 

 Philadelphia. They are mounted on common pins. The type of mingo is mounted 

 on an insect pin. Mr. Edwards writes me that it was certainly collected in 

 Kanawha (bounty. West Virginia. It is very singular that, since W. H. Edwards 

 wrote his original descriptions, not a single specimen of this insect has turned up iu 

 the United States, so far as can be ascertained. I should not hesitate to say that 

 by some accident the insects in the Newman collection had been mislabelled, and 

 that this exceedingly common Oriental butterfly had been inadvertently allowed to 

 become mixed up with a lot of "stuff" from Colorado. The only difficulty arises 

 from the positive statement of Mr. Edwards that the type of 7ningo was taken in 

 West Virginia. I dislike to think him mistaken, but until we obtain more specimens 

 from somewhere within the bounds of the United States I shall be inclined to 

 believe that omaha { = miHgo = maesoides) is not an American species, but belongs 

 to the Indo-malayan fauna.

 from it by the lighter blue-green colour of the underside of the wings, and the 

 bright buff of the body on the lowerside.
