right angles to the plmie of the hind-ivings. Frequents 

 Bougainvillica flowers. 



Eudaiiias mtilhts, Cram. Two specimens, taken late 

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

 very swift. 



Thymelc grenadcnsis, Schaus. A very worn specimen, on 

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

 repeatedly on the same spot. 



Tclcgonus kurga, Schaus, A worn specimen, in the 

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

 returning again and again to rest on the same fallen tree. 



Ferichares corydon, Fabr. Two. Mackfield, Montego 

 Bay. 



Frenes nyctclms, Latr. Three. Mandeville, Port 

 Antonio (" Shotover," East Harbour). 



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



Anastrus sim^ilicior, Moschl. One. Cold Harbour, 

 Port Antonio. Rests with the wings fully expanded. 



Acolastes 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. Mabille places it in his genus 

 Serdis under the heading "Species non visae" {Genera 

 Inscctorum, Hesperidse, p. 144).* 



E'phyriades otrcus, Cram. One specimen, near Chancery 

 Hall, Constant Spring; settled on a projecting grass stem 

 with wings fully expanded. 



Hcsperia syrichthus, 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. 



HylepMla phylxus, Drury. Five. This brilliant little 



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

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

 of Butler's PampMla 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 priority 

 since Plotz published his description in 1883.
