I believe that the insects above described may be sexes of one 

 species, on account of the similarity of the markings of the under-side. 

 It is, however, possible that they are specifically distinct. Only 

 one male has fallen under my observation, but two females now before 

 me differ somewhat on the under-side of the hind-wing, one of them 

 possessing an additional spot between the costal vein and first sub- 

 costal neiwule. There is a tendency in both sexes towards the forma- 

 tion on the under-side of both wings of a sub-marginal row of yellow 

 spots. 



I have described the hind- wing as spotless above, but in both the 

 females there is an appearance of a very minute central spot. I think, 

 however, that this is accidental, and has been caused in the process of 

 setting. 



Pamphila pellucida, sp. nov. (?).

Allied to P. guttata, Brem., Grey, but sufficiently distinct. The 

 spots on the hind-wing are arranged in a curious alternate manner, 

 the first and third being nearer the hind margin than the second and 

 fourth. 



The above notes relate only to insects in my own collection, and 

 do not pretend to form anything like a complete list of the butterflies 

 of Yokohama. I believe that Mr. Pryer is now engaged in the com- 

 pilation of such a list, to the appearance of which I look forward with 

 much interest.
