I have not included here Crabro albilabris, Panzeri, or brevis, of 

 Shuckard and Smith, as the two former belong to the genus Lindenius, 

 and the last to JEntomognathus ; they may all be known from the other 

 black-bodied species by having their ocelli arranged in an isosceles 

 triangle, much widest at the base.

ON TWO SMALL CONSIGNMENTS OF LEPIDOPTERA FROM THE 

 HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 



BT AETHUE G. BUTLEE, E.L.8. 



The following species were received some time since from the 

 Rev. T. Blackburn, but press of work has hitherto prevented me from 

 working them out. 



1. Danais aechippus, Fabr. (No. 1.) 



This specimen somewhat resembles the southern American type 

 in coloration. According to Messrs. Salvin, Godman, and others, it 

 would appear that this is the species intended by Linnaeus in his 

 original description of Papilio Plexippus, but as he gives China as one 

 of his localities, it seems better to retain a name respecting which there 

 can be no doubt. 



2. Peotopaece Blackbueni, sp. n. (No. 30). 



P. quinquemaculato simillima ; major, alls latiorihus, magis grisescentibus ; 

 signis alarum anticarum subcostalibus albescentibus ; serie macularum albarum antice 

 confluentium arcuata discali, cum fascia ordinaria vigrocincta cohcerente ; fasciola 

 posticarum prima obsoleta ; fascia sub-inarginali nigra a pud apicem niulto latiore : 

 alar. exp. unc. 5. 



" Occurs rarely near Honolulu." — T. B. 



This handsome species, although pearly allied to the North 

 American insect, is evidently quite distinct ; the wings are decidedly 

 broader, the inner margin of the primaries longer and more curved, 

 and the outer margin consequently less oblique ; in colour it is greyer, 

 and the light markings are more or less white ; the arched double 

 discal belt is represented by two coherent bands, the inner one con- 

 sisting of confluent, black-edged, lunated, white spots ; the white 

 spotting of the fringe is purer, and, consequently, more evident ; the 

 sub-basal diffused black band of the secondaries is absent, and the sub- 

 marginal band is broader, being of twice the width at costal margin ;
