BUTTERFLIES OF PARAGUAY, AND LA PLATA. 201 
A. Varuna, Godt. Paraguay. I have received two examples, 
both females, taken near Asuncion, in Dec. and Jan., at edges of 
woods. Very scarce. 
Paphia Stheno, Prittw. Woods near Asuncion ; Dec. and Jan. : 
very rare. 
P. Glycerium, D. & H. Corrientes, in April. Caught as it 
played over a water-hole in a path through a wood. Remarkable 
for a very rapid, and zigzag manner of flight. Near Asuncion it 
was scarce, in Dec. and Jan., at the edges of woods. 
Inbythea Carinenta, Cr. Near Asuncion; Nov. to March: 
quite plentiful at the edges of woods. Later it has occurred also 
in Corrientes, in the like localities ; where my correspondent has 
specially remarked its rapid, darting flight, and its habit of always 
choosing a dead twig for its resting-place. 
MorpPHID. 
Morpho Achilles, Linn. Paraguay; from the banks of the 
Parana, as far as Asuncion, at least; shady walks in woods: 
abundant; always of the var. Achilles proper. 
BRASSOLIDZ. 
Brassolis Sophore, Linn. Near Asuncion. One or two 
examples only, taken in the open, in March. 
Dynastor Darius, Fabr. Two examples were sent from 
‘Corrientes in March. They are described as appearing only on 
the approach of evening. Both were females, and, with each, I 
found, in the inclosing paper, several new-born larve ; about 0°5” 
in length, with large globose head, and cylindric body terminating 
in two divergent processes, each carrying a strong seta. This 
form is proper to the known larve of the family: and, combined 
with fragments of pearly egg-shells, also in the papers, they show 
that the butterflies, incompletely killed, laid their eggs in the 
paper pockets ; that these hatched on the voyage, and were starved 
to death, of course. A tragic history! 
SATYRIDE. 
Taygetis Andromeda, Cr. Scattered sparsely throughout 
Paraguay. Woods; Sept. to March. Var. b. of Mr. Butler's 
Catalogue. 
T. Chelys, Faby. ‘Taken in Nov. in a wood near Asuncion.
