618 Br. G. B. Longstaff's Bionomic Notes on Buttcrjlies. 



To my own jiulginent the scent resembled rather clove- 

 pink, but was still more like pink biud-weed {Convolvulus 

 arvcnsis, Linn.), 



Terias dclia, Cram. (Jamaica, Panama, Colombia, 

 Venezuela, 1907), and T. phiale, Cram. (Venezuela, 1907). 

 Results conflicting, but in the large majority of cases 

 negative. 



Terias aUmla, Cram. (Trinidad, Tobago, Colombia, 

 Venezuela, »I907). Results uniformly negative. 



Terias nise, Cram. (Trinidad, Tobago, Panama, Vene- 

 zuela, 1907). Out of 8 (I taken 5 had a scent, varying 

 from very slight to very strong; it was compared to that 

 of pink bind-weed. A slight scent was detected in a $ 

 specimen, this was confirmed by Mrs. Lnngstaff. 



Terias lacssalina, Fabr. (Jamaica, 1007). In 6 (^ out of 

 10 a scent was noted; it is described in my notes as 

 " distinct" or "strong," and compared to pink bind-weed 

 and to spice. It is also noted as "distinct from that of 

 euterpc, more dusty, le.^s specific," but another specimen 

 " more spicy than bind-weed." 



Terias weshvoodii, Boisd. (Jamaica, 1907). Only 3 $ 

 were taken, all had a scent, described in one case as " spice 

 odour, not quite the same as euterpc." 



Terias libythea, Fabr. (Ceylon, 1908). In several ^ 

 specimens — at least five — a faint scent was detected, 

 which I compai-ed to that of Convolvulus arvcnsis. 



Terias heeahe, Linn. (Ceylon, 1908). I failed to detect 

 any scent in this common Terias or any of its allied 

 forms. 



Catophaf/a paulina, Cram. (Ceylon, 1908). The results 

 of my 1904 observations * were only in part confirmed. 

 In both years the scent was noted in the $ only, in 1904 

 it was described as " like sweet briar, but sweeter and 

 more luscious," whereas in 1908 it was variously described 

 as "sweet," "very sweet, 1 Freesia," "flowery," "decided 

 Meadow-sweet," " decided Stephanotvi" " extremely 

 sweet." 



Ifiiphina ncrissa, Fabr. (Ceylon, 1908). The results of 

 Indian observations f of 1904 were confirmed, many $ 

 yielding a distinct sweet-briar scent. 



Pieris cali/donia, Boisd. (Venezuela, 1907). Three $ of 

 this species — all that I captured — had a distinct flowery
