200 Mr. H. J. Elwes oti 



male of hicolor. I took two males of what Butler calls 

 quadrimaculata at Coronel and one at Bafios de Cauquenes, 

 both at low elevations. 



42. Strymon americcnsis. 



Thecla mnericensis, Blanchard, t. c, p. 88. 



I took a pair on the road up to the Baths of Chilian at 

 about 2000 feet on December 20th, and found it also near 

 Temuco and at San Ignacio in January. Edmonds took 

 it at Valparaiso, Valdivia and Cauquenes. The male 

 has the same sexual patch as hicolor, with which I think 

 it is congeneric. 



PIERID.E. 



43. Hcliochroma leucothca. 



Painlio (D.) leucothca, Molina, Saggio sulla Storia 



Naturale del Chili, libr. iv, p. 347 (1782). 

 Pieris gayi, Blanchard, t. c, p. 10, PI, I, fig. 4. 



Though Edmonds says this is common in the Cordillera 

 of the Cauquenes hacienda in January, I was informed 

 by M. Germain, the veteran entomologist of the Museum 

 at Santiago, who knows the insects of Chile very well 

 though he has never written on the Lepidoptera, that the 

 species was confined to the coast, where it comes out early 

 in spring. I only saw it near Coronel in December flying 

 among bushes where I was unable to take it. 



44. Terias chiloisis. 



T. chilensis, Blanchard, t.c, p. 17, PI. I, fig. 5 a, b. 



I only saw it near Llai-llai on January 1st in irrigated 

 fields. It seems to be common at low elevations. 



45. Gallidrycts drya. 



Papilio drya, Fabricius, Syst. Ent., p. 478 (1775). 

 Callidryas drya, Butler, Lep. Exot., p. 61, PI. XXIII, 



figs. 5-8 (1871). 

 C. amfhitritc, Blanchard, t. c, p. 20, PI. V, figs. 1, 2. 



A few were seen in the lower part of the Aconcagua 

 Valley. Edmonds says it is common at Valparaiso and 

 is found at Copiapo, and occurs almost throughout the 

 year. He found the larva on Cassia.
