238 ' ADDENDA AND CORRIGENDA. 



In addition to the species descrihed in the preceding pages, the following have also been incaulioushj introduced into the lists of 

 British species, but upon such slight authority that it has not been deemed neeessarg to figure them in. this work. 



Parnassius Mnemosyne, Latreille (Papilio Mn. Liniiirus). It is smaller than Apollo, from which it is at once distinguished 

 by wanting the oceUi. The veins are slender anil blackish, the lore wings with two black spots in the discoidal cell. 

 It inhabits the Alps, Pyrenees, Switzerland, Sicily, Sweden, Hungary, and Russia. It may therefore possibly still 

 be found in England. It was introduced by Turton and Jermyn, and is figured in ^Vood's Ind. Entomol. pi. 53. f. 4, 

 amongst the doubtful British species. 



P/ERis Fekonia (Pontia F. Stephens, 111. Haust, 1, 14!) ; Ernst, Papillons d'Europe, vi. p. 209). " Wings above white, the 

 anterior with a single row of triangular brown spots touching the hinder margin, and terminating in a point on each 

 nervure internally ; beneath immaculate, the anterior white, with a yellowish tint on the outer angle ; the posterior 

 entirely of the latter colour h-rorated with dusky." Ernst, by whom alone this species appears to have been noticed 

 and figured amongst Continental authors, says of it that it was "prise en Angleterre." No other authority exists for 

 its being an indigenous species; and Sir. Stephens suggests that il may be a native of New England, in America. 



Melit/Ea Tharos (PapiUo Dan. Fest. Tharos, Drury, App. v. 2 ; Cramer, pi. loil, fig. e. f. ; Argynnis Tharossa, Enc Mt-th. 

 9 '280; MeUta!a Tharos, Westw. in Drury, 2nd Edit. 1, p. 39). The wings are black-brown, with many orange 

 marks, some of which form an irregular bar beyond the middle of the fore wings, the tips and margins being dark. 

 There is also a row of black round spots in orange spaces beyond the middle of the hind wings. This is a common 

 North American insect ; but Cramer, in figuring it, stated it was "recu d'Angleterre;" whence it has been inferred 

 that it was regarded by him as an English species. 



LiMEMTis PopuLr, Fabr. (Papilio P. Linn. Stewart; Wood, Ind. Ent. t. 5;5, fig. 10). The wings above brown, fasciated 

 and spotted with white ; beneath, luteous, fasciated with white, and ornamented with blue spots. This fine species, 

 which is nearly three inches in expanse, appears to have been introduced in the English lists in consequence of Lin- 

 nEeus having erroneously referred to Ray's description of Camilla, amongst his synonyms of Populi. 



LiMEMTis SiBiLLA, (Papilio S. Linn. Stewart; Wood, Ind. Ent. t. 53, fig. II, L. Camilla Fabricius), is closely alhed to L. 

 Camilla, with which it has been confounded by Fabricius. Stewart, who followed the nomenclature of the latter 

 author, accordingly gave Sibilla as a native species. The true Sibilla is nearly two inches and a half in expanse ; the 

 wings above, dark brown, with a white fascia, without any red spot at the anal angle; beneath, orange-tawny, spotted 

 as above. No authentic instance is recorded of its capture in this country. 



PoLVOMMATus Titus (Hesperia Titus, Fabricius, Ent. Syst. 3, a. p. 297; Turton: Pol. Titus, Jermyn, Stephens). Habit of 

 Argus and Artaxerxes. All the wings above bro\vii, unspotted. Beneath also brown, the anterior with a hinder row 

 of white and black lines, the posterior with a short central hue, and a row of black spots ocellated with white. Near 

 the margin are a row of red spots, each marked with a black dot. "Habitat in AngUa. Dom. Drury. Jones, fig. 

 pict. 6, t. 44, t. 2." It appears that Fabricius derived his knowledge of this species from the same source, whence he 

 also described Artaxerxes, namely, Jones's Collection of Drawings. Beyond this we have no information respecting 

 the species.
