THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 65 



No. 183. Pieris Monusie. Callao. April, 1873.— Com- 

 mon. This species puzzles me, as I fancy there are two or 

 three closely allied, but dislinct. 



No. 184. Pieris Monnste. Callao. April, 1873.— Pro- 

 bably the female of No. 183. 



No. 185. Anarlia Jatrophce. Callao. April, 1873. — This 

 pretty and delicate butterfly was common close to the town 

 of Callao ; but although I caught plenty of them very few- 

 were fit to set. 1 suspect they were just passing. In its 

 habits this species reminded me of V. Urticee. When dis- 

 turbed it flies for a short distance, and settles on the road or 

 a wall, and constantly expands and shuts its wings. It is a 

 strong flyer. 



No. 187. Thecla Marsyas. Callao. April, 1873.— This 

 lovely species was by no means uncommon in the neighbour- 

 hoods of Callao and Lima. Its habits are those of a Thecla. 

 Near Callao I obtained it flying round an evergreen shrub 

 growing from eight to ten feet high, possessing ovate- 

 lanceolate and slightly pubescent leaves, and bearing at the 

 tip of each of its branches a conglomerate bunch of mauve- 

 coloured flowers. 



No. 189. New genus, new species, Valparaiso. Larvae 

 taken in December, 1872. — Bred on board. Have worked 

 out the life-history of this species. 



No. 193. Hippardiia? Valparaiso. Larvte taken in 

 January, 1873. — Bred on board. Took the larvae of this 

 species at Liraache, and have worked out its history. The 

 specimen forwarded is a small one, as some I have bred are 

 nearly twice the size. 



No. 200. Acraa Alalia. Callao. April, 1873.— Have 

 worked out the life-history of this species. It is very abun- 

 dant at Callao, though local. 



No. 212. New species. Callao. April, 1873. — This is, 

 I have no doubt, the male of No. 180, as they occurred 

 together. 



No. 219. Hadena? (new species). Honolulu. June, 1873. 

 — This is the produce of what the Hawaiians term the 

 " army worm," a larva which does great mischief to their 

 pasture lands; and the specimens sent herewith were bred 

 from larvaB taken by myself These larvK, which I observed 

 in incredible numbers, and which feed perfectly exposed,
