48 Dr. G. B. Longstaff's Notes on 



specimens from Jamaica and other islands were named by 

 Mr. Butler ilawe, Godt., but the type of Godart's insect 

 came from Brazil. In the museum at Kingston this bears 

 the name A23pic(s pocyi, Butl. It is perhaps the Mylothris 

 margarita of Hiibner. It would be interesting to see 

 Jamaican specimens taken in the wet season, for the 

 presumption is that mine are of the dry form. 



S'^lisunogona adamsi, Lathy. Of this butterfly, so rare 

 in collections, I was fortunate enough to secure a male and 

 three females. One of the latter was taken near Constant 

 Spring, the other three specimens on the Manchester 

 Mountains, viz. one at Contrivance, about 2700 feet, the 

 other two on Mile Gully Mountain at nearly the same 

 elevation. 



The solitary specimen in the National Collection is 

 from " Kingston, Jamaica." 



Terias cuterpe, Menet, 39 ^ , 21 $. The commonest 

 species of the genus in Jamaica. Constant Spring 

 (abundant), Gordon Town (not common), Castleton, Man- 

 deville, Ramble (abundant), Montego Bay, Walderston 

 (not common), Port Antonio (common). 



As this little butterfly flits along close to the ground it 

 appears to be easy to catch ; however, it goes faster than 

 one would think ; its flight is jerky, and when struck at it 

 almost always goes down into the herbage and so escapes 

 the net again and again. This remark must be held to 

 apply to several species of Terias, which were not always 

 distinguished in the field, 



A male was taken at Mackfield with a small sym- 

 metrical injury to each hind-wing. 



Terias tcestwoodii, Boisd. (The Jamaican form, ? dina, 

 Poey.) Three males, two females. Only met with at 

 Montego Bay. It flies more freely and more strongly 

 than the last. 



The Jamaican specimens are small and pale : the black 

 on the hind-margin (especially in the female) is limited to 

 the tip of the fore-wing. 



Terias messalina, Fabr., 10 ^, 10 ^. Constant Spring, 

 Hotel Grounds and wood to N.E., Mackfield (common), 

 Montego Bay, Spanish Town, Port Antonio. 



Terias delia, Cram., 16 ^ , 14 $. Widely distributed, but 

 not so common as euterp)e. Constant Spring (common), 

 Castleton, Mandeville, Mackfield, Montego Bay, Walder- 

 ston, Port Antonio.
