VI. Notes on the Diurnal Lepidoptera described by Ja- 

 blonsky and Herbst, in their " Natiirsystem alter 

 heliannten Insehten." By W. F. Kirby^ Assistant 

 in the Museum of the Royal Dublin Society. 



[Bead 4th March, 1872.] 



This work seems to be little known to entomologists, 

 except by name ; but as it contains several new species 

 and corrections of synonymy, a few notes may not be 

 uninteresting. By far the largest number of species 

 figured, are copied from Cramer, Esper, Drury, &c., and 

 hence the five per cent, or so, of new species, &c., have 

 not unnaturally been overlooked. 



Vol. 1. By Jablonsky, 1782. 

 9. Pap. Pandarus, Jabl., p. 209, t. 6, f. 1. 

 This species, the Psendopandarus of Esper, is univers- 

 ally considered to be a fabrication. 



Vol. 2. By Jablonsky, 1784. 



32. Pap. Phoebanta, L., p. 125, t. 12, f. 3. 



The first figure of this species in any systematic work. 

 It is copied from D'Aubenton. 



51. Pap. Pelaus (?), F., p. 265, t. 19, f. 1. 



Pap. Peleides, Esp. Boisduval doubts the existence of 

 this species. 



Vol. 3. By Herbst, 1788. 



99. Pap. Miltiades, p. 154, t. 44, f. 1, 2. 



This species, copied from D'Aubenton, is, as Doubleday 

 remarks, a compound of the fore-wings of P. Erithonius 

 and the hind-wings of P. Ajax. 



116. Pap. Pompilius, F., p. 205, t. 49, f. 5, 6. 



Pap. Policenes, Cr., is figured under this name. Pap. 

 Pompilius, F., is a somewhat doubtful species.

Pap. [Mfijahint) Crcthon, Fabr. The only existing
