618 Dr. G. B. Lotigstaff's Bionomic Notes on ^tiUerJties. 



To my own judgment the scent resembled rather clove- 

 pink, but was still more like pink biud-weed {Convolmdus 

 arvcnsis, Linn.). 



Terias ddia. Cram. (Jamaica, Panama, Colombia, 

 Venezuela, 1907), and T. jiMalc, Cram. (Venezuela, 1907). 

 Results conflicting, but in the large majority of cases 

 negative. 



Terias aJlmln, Cram. (Trinidad, Tobago, Colombia, 

 Venezuela, 1907). Results uniformly negative. 



Terias nise, Crani. (Trinidad, Tobago, Panama, Vene- 

 zuela, 1907). Out of 8 (^ taken 5 had a scent, varying 

 from very slight to very strong ; it was compared to that 

 of pink bind-weed. A sligiit scent was detected in a $ 

 specimen, this was confirmed by Mrs. Longstaff. 



Terias messalina, Fabr. (Jamaica, 1907). In 6 ^ out of 

 10 a scent was noted; it is described in my notes as 

 " distinct" or "strong," and compared to pink bind-weed 

 and to spice. It is also noted as " distinct from that of 

 eutcrpc, more dusty, less specific," but another specimen 

 " more spicy than bind-weed." 



Terias %vcstwoodii, Boisd. (Jamaica, 1907). Only 3 $ 

 were taken, all had a scent, described in one case as " spice 

 odour, not quite the same as aderpe." 



Terias libythea, Fabr. (Ceylon, 1908). In several ^ 

 specimens — at least five — a faint scent was detected, 

 which I compared to that of Convolvulus arvcnsis. 



Terias hccahe, Linn. (Ceylon, 1908). I failed to detect 

 any scent in this common Terias or any of its allied 

 forms. 



Catoplwua ptcmlina, Cram. (Ceylon, 1908). The results 

 of my 1904 observations * were only in part confirmed. 

 In both years the scent was noted in the ^ only, in 1904 

 it was described as " like sweet briar, but sweeter and 

 more luscious," whereas in 1908 it was variously described 

 as "sweet," "very sweet, 1 Frecsia," "flowery," "decided 

 Meadow-sweet," "decided StepJianotis^' "extremely 

 sweet." 



Hupldna nerissa, Fabr. (Ceylon, 1908). The results of 

 Indian observations f of 1904 were confirmed, many $ 

 yielding a distinct sweet-briar scent. 



Pieris ecdydonia, Boisd. (Venezuela, 1907). Three $ of 

 this species — all that I captured — had a distinct flowery
