Lcpidoptera Bhopaloeera of Trinidad. 169 



30. EUEIDES ISABELLA. 



Papilio isabellm. Cram., Pap. Exot., iv, t. 350, C. D. 

 (1782). 

 Bangc. Amazons ; Guiana. 



Probably locally common. A long series {Caracciulo), 1 $ 

 ( W. J. Kaye). 



81. EUEIDES ALIPHERA. 



Heliconia aliphera, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix, p. 246, n. 7 

 (1879). 

 Range. Venezuela; Brazil. 



Locally common. I found it in considerable abundance 

 at about 1000 ft., flying amongst CoUmis Julia on a rough 

 hillside where there was quite a wealth of flowers. At 

 other times the species is to be seen sailing with out- 

 stretched wings over the tops of cocoa trees, also frequently 

 in company with the Col/enis. The colour and markings 

 of these two species are wonderfully alike, and one must 

 suppose that they afford one another protection in sharing 

 like dangers. Godman and Salvin record U. aliphera from 

 Central America and draw attention to the similarity of 

 Colxnis delila (vol. i, p. 163), but do not state if the species 

 are found together. E. aliphera from Central America is 

 almost certainly a distinct species with much nnrrower 

 black borders to both fore- and hind-wing; but it is 

 interesting to note that C. delila is much more like these 

 Central American '^ aliphera" than true Brazilian or 

 Trinidad ian aliphera. 



Subfamily NYMPHALIN^. 



32. Col^nis ph^rusa. 



Paiiilio phi&rusa, Linn., Mus. Ulr., p. 293 (1764). 



Range. Equatorial and Central America. 



Mentioned by Crowfoot. The species must either be 

 very rare or very local in Trinidad. 



33, CoL^NIS JULIA. 



Papilio Julia, Fab., Syst. Ent., p. .509, n. 281 (1775). 



Range. Guiana; Brazil; St. Lucia, W.L 



An abundant species, more particularly at a small 

 altitude of 500 to 1000 ft.
