some Butterflies tahen in Jamaica. 47 



In my opinion it is specifically distinct from B. cassius, 

 Cram., but if not distinct it is a very well-marked local 

 race. The earliest description of the form that I can find 

 is that by Lefebre in Ramon de la Sacra's " Histor. Cuba," 

 VII, p. 611, and it should, I think, bear his name. It 

 appears in W. Holland's " Butterfly Book " as Lycmna 

 theonus, Lucas. 



Catochrysops hanno, Stoll {Vmonops, Zeller). 11 speci- 

 mens. Abundant at Constant Spring, also met with at 

 Mackfield, Walderston and Port Antonio. Its small size 

 and insignificant appearance probably often cause it to be 

 passed over. It frequents small Composites by the road- 

 side, especially Distrepttis spicatus, Cass. 



Callipsyche thius, Hlibn. A single very fine male near 

 the Jam Factory, at the foot of the hills. Constant Spring. 

 On the wing I took it for a Skipper. This and the 

 specimens from Jamaica in the National Collection lack 

 the white mark at the tip of the fore-wing of the male met 

 with in Venezuelan examples. 



Calycopns pan, Drury, Three specimens, taken in the 

 garden at Walderston by my Portuguese servant. The 

 lobes of the hind-wings are everted as in the Indian 

 Aphnxus and the South African Argiolaus. 



PlERIN^. 



Callidryas eiibule, Linn. (f. sennse, Linn.). 17 $, 14 ^. 

 Constant Spring (common), Gordon Town (abundant), 

 Castleton, Temple Hall (abundant), Mandeville, Mackfield 

 (common), Montego Bay (common), Walderston, Christiana, 

 Spanish Town (abundant). Port Antonio (abundant). 



If not actually the most abundant, at all events the 

 most conspicuous butterfly on the island. Brilliant in 

 colour, bold in flight, and numerous in individuals, it was 

 always much in evidence. 



The " dry " form prevailed, more especially as the season 

 advanced. 



Ko'icogonia lysicle, Godt., 6 ^, 2 $. Ramble, Montego 

 Bay, Spanish Town, Port Antonio (not uncommon along 

 the coast to the eastward). 



Glutoplirissa ? drusiUa, Cram. Common at Constant 

 Spring, also taken at Montego Bay. This species usually 

 flies high, frequenting flowering trees and so out of reach. 

 My specimens are small, especially the females, which 

 are quite devoid of black markings. Somewhat similar
