Cliilades theoiius, Lefebvre. — One from Limon in March. 



Epargyreus zestos, Hiibn. — One from San Jose in July. 



Telegoims alardus, Stoll. — One from San Jos6 in July. Others 

 were seen, but it seemed to be very difficult to come across this 

 beautiful " skipper" in good condition. 



Pyrrhopyge Venezuela, Doubld. — One (very fine) taken at Eio 

 Grande. 



Thymelefugerator{?),Wa.\sh. — I bred several of what I believe 

 to be this species at San Jose, in June and July, from larvae found 

 when very young on a kind of wild sweet pea. The young larva 

 creates for itself a little tent-shaped covering on the edge of the leaf 

 by eating away a narrow groove, and then turning over a piece of it, 

 and securing it by a web in the position desired, from which it 

 only emerges to feed. When full-grown it is a beautiful object, 

 bright apple-green, thickly irrorated with lemon-yellow. The head 

 is shiny russet-brown, with an orange spot on either cheek ; the 

 rudimentary legs are red. 



Eudaimis proteus, Linn. — I saw this butterfly not unfrequently 

 but having already secured a long series in Cuba, all I seem to have 

 from Costa Rica is one bred specimen from a larva I found while 

 searching for the preceding, which it resembles in its habits.
