“The males of Byblia goetzius, Herbst, yielded a very 
distinct and agreeable odour of sweet chocolate, mingled, as in 
Mycalesis safitza, with a suggestion of vanilla. Dr. Longstaff 
reports a chocolate scent in the only specimen examined by 
him—a female. 
‘‘T found a similar chocolate scent in a specimen of Gegenes 
oculata, Trim. 3. Gegenes zetterstedti, Wallgrn. 9, was 
odourless, as also was a specimen (not yet determined) of 
Pterygospidea flesus, Fabr. 
“ Planema ayanice, Hew., has been stated by Mr. Marshall 
(Trans. Ent. Soe. Lond., 1902, p. 413) to have no smell. The 
green juice exuded from a male specimen appeared to me to 
have an odour like that of a crushed cabbage leaf, which was 
by no means unpleasant. 
“ Both sexes of Acraa alboradiata, Auriv., have a distinct 
odour which is described by Dr. Longstaff as ‘musty’ and 
‘like old hay.’ The female was independently noted by me as 
smelling like musty straw. 
“The scent of Acrxa anemosa, Hew., seems to vary greatly 
in strength in different individuals. One of the males tested 
by me had no apparent odour, Another male and a female 
both smelt strongly of damp, fusty straw. Dr. Longstaff’s 
specimens, all males, gave a ‘ musty’ odour of varying intensity. 
Mr. Marshall (oc. cit.) states that A. anemosa ‘emits a very 
strong smell when pinched, being the only Acrzwa in which I 
have noticed this, though possibly acara does the same,’ 
“No odour was perceptible in the wings or crushed thorax 
of Acrxa cahira, Hopft. ¢. Mr. Marshall (cb¢d.) reports that 
he was unable to detect any trace of bitterness or acridity in 
this species. 
“Dr. Longstaff found a slight snuffy scent in the male of 
Acrxa encedon, Linn., and an evanescent disagreeable odour, 
not very strong, inthe female when crushed. The yellow juice 
of this species is said by Mr. Marshall to be slightly bitter, 
but not very markedly so. 
“ Acrea doubledayi, Guér. ¢, emits a yellow juice which 
on one occasion seemed to me to be scentless. In another 
male I detected a slight fusty odour. Dr, Longstaff reports 
an ‘old hay’ scent on crushing, in both male and female.
