right angles to the plane of the hind-wings. Frequents 

 BangainvilLva flowers. 



Eiulaiiias catillus, Cram. Two specimens, taken late 

 in the afternoon in a wood at Montego Bay ; flight not 

 very swift. 



Thymelc grcnadensis, Schaus. A very worn specimen, on 

 the bank of the Rio Cobre, Spanish Town. It settled 

 repeatedly on the same spot. 



Tclcgonus hvrga, Schaus. A worn specimen, in the 

 Mahogany Wood, Rockalva, Ramble. It was very bold, 

 returuin'j; again and aofain to rest on the same fallen tree. 



Perichares corydon, Fabr. Two. Mackfield, Montego 

 Bay. 



Frenes nyctelius, Latr. Three. Mandeville, Port 

 Antonio (" Shotover," East Harbour). 



Frenes ares, Feld. One. " Shotover," Port Antonio. 



Anastrns simplicior, Moschl. One. Cold Harbour, 

 Port Antonio. Rests with the wings fully expanded. 



Arolastes amyntas, Linn. One, taken by Mrs. Longstaff 

 in the Botanic Garden, Castleton. 



Serdis aurinia, Plotz. One of each sex, taken at the 

 foot of Park Mount, Port Antonio, about 2.30 p.m. A 

 very distinct insect identified by Mr. H. H. Druce with 

 Plotz' excellent figure of the male from a Jamaican 

 specimen. The insect does not seem to be known in 

 British collections. Mr. God man (" Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.," 

 Aug. 1907) says of the figure that it probably belongs to 

 Limocharcs or Serdis. Mabillo places it in his genus 

 Serdis under the heading "Species non vIsjb" (Genera 

 Insectorum, Hesperidae, p. 144).* 



Ephyriades otrens, Cram. One specimen, near Chancery 

 Hall, Constant Si)ring; settled on a projecting grass stem 

 Avith wings fully expanded. 



Ifesjjeria syriclUliux, Fabr. Twelve. Generally dis- 

 tributed over the Island, especially common at Mande- 

 ville and Port Antonio. A somewhat variable species 

 within limits. It rests with the wings fully expanded. 



Ilyhphila p)hyl[eus, Drury. Five. This brilliant little 



* On Apiil 5, 1908, Mr. H. II. Druce wrote saying that among 

 some oddments in the British Museum he had come across the type 

 of Butler's Parnphiht insolata. (See Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1878, 

 p. 483). The specimen is from Jamaica (labelled insolita), and 

 appears to be identical with my insects. Butler's name has j)riority 

 since Plotz published liis description in 1883.
