NYMPHALID^. 



Ithomiin^e. 



* Geratinia fenestella, Hew. (Trinidad, 1913). Out of three 

 examined, a <j> had an odour resembling musty tobacco. Fritz Miiller 

 detected a rather faint scent in G. eupompe, Hb. 



* Mechanitis lycidice, Bates, and M. veritabilis, Btl. (Trinidad and 

 Venezuela, 1913). Ten specimens of each of these closely allied 

 species were examined. In one only, a ^ of the first named, was a 

 slight scent suspected in connection with the fringes. So far as it 

 goes this confirms Fritz Miiller' s record of a very faint scent in the <^ 

 of Mechanitis 1/ysimnia, F. 



* Eutresis hypereia, Dbl. and H. (Venezuela, 1913). A ? , the 

 only specimen met with, gave out both during life and after death, a 

 strong odour like that of cockroaches. 



Danain^e. 



Danaida archipptis, F. (Dominica and Venezuela, 1913). 4 $ g 

 and 2 ? $ examined. Previous results confirmed, but in one ? the 

 scent is described as " not strong, scai-cely disagreeable." 



Danaida eresimns, Cr. (Venezuela, 1913). Of 2 g £ examined, one 

 had a sweet scent, somewhat aromatic in character, the other a " not 

 unpleasant " scent. In 1907 I was somewhat in doubt as to the J 

 possessing a scent. 



* Lycorea atergatis, Dbl. (Trinidad and Venezuela, 1913). Six 

 specimens were examined, 3 $ $ , 3 ? ? . All the $ £ had the tufts 

 everted, but in only one of them could any scent be detected, it was 

 slight and resembled that of a cockroach. One of the $ $ had a similar 

 slight odour, in another the scent was compared to that of a cigar box. 

 Fritz Miiller found an extremely strong, rather disagreeable odour, in 

 " Lycorea sp." 



Satyrin^e. 



Pararge megasra, L. (Spain, 1913). In 4 $ $ out of 9, 1 succeeded 

 in detecting a more or less distinct scent of chocolate, without the 

 vanilla element. 



* Pararge meera, L. (Spain, 1913). I took but one specimen, ? , 

 which had a scent of pure chocolate, strong during life, less strong 

 after death. 



Nymphalin^;. 



Didonis biblis, F. (Trinidad and Venezuela, 1913.) 4 specimens
