332 Mr. R. Trimen’s Votes on 
radiating hairs of the same colour.* The species has been met 
with in Madagascar, but there is no record of its inhabiting Bour- 
bon. In Mauritius I found the insect most common at Réduit and 
Pamplemousses. In the collection above referred to, said to have 
been made by Dr. Burrowes in Zanzibar, I found a specimen of 
Euphone, which differed in no respect from Mauritian examples. 
7. Danais Phedone, Fabr. 
Mr. Bates has very rightly (Proc. Zool. Soc., Nov. 1863) 
placed this butterfly in the genus Danais, as it presents all the 
structural characters of that group, though its peculiar facies and 
colouring give it a strong superficial resemblance to Huploea Hu- 
phone. In connexion with this likeness between the two species, 
I may mention that I found D. Phedone much scarcer than 4. 
Euphone, but almost invariably flying in company with the latter. 
The @ is readily distinguished from the ¢ by the broader 
ochreous band of the hind-wing, which occasionally unites with some 
of the spots of the sub-marginal row. Mr. Bates (loc. cit.), in 
noting a specimen from Madagascar in Mr. Caldwell's collection, 
observes that Phedone “has hitherto been recorded only as in- 
habiting the island of Mauritius ;” but I find that Boisduval 
(Faune Ent. de Madag. &c., p. 37) mentions its occurrence in 
Madagascar, “aux environs de Tamatave.” Its nearest ally seems 
to be the abundant D. Hcheria, Stoll, of southern and south- 
eastern Africa, the fore-wings of the two species almost coinciding 
in colours and markings. 
8. Danais Chrysippus, Linn. 
I took a specimen of this well-known and widely-ranging species 
in the woods at Vakoa, in the south-west of the island. This was 
the only living example I saw. M. Maillard notes that in Bour- 
bon this insect is richly coloured. 
* Similar appendages exist in many Euple@;—I possessa ¢ of E. superba, 
Herbst, in which these organs are exserted and conspicuous. A ¢ Danais 
Echeria, Stoll, lately forwarded to me from Port Natal, also exhibits the same 
appendages; though, among the many ¢@’s of this insect that I have captured, 
I never found one that protruded them. Mr. Bates has recorded a similar 
structure in two genera (Lycorea and Ituna) of Danaoid Heliconide,—a fact 
interesting as tending to confirm his view of that group being closely related 
to the true Danaide.
