44 Dr. G. B. Longstaff’s Notes on 
named three forms of this genus, all from Surinam, /avinia, 
evarete and genoveva. It appears to me that Mr. Marshall 
is quite correct in uniting these under the first name, 
together with the Northern form cwnia, Hiibn. (the name 
adopted by Messrs. Godman and Salvin in the “ Biologia 
Cent. Am.”). 
Jamaican specimens, usually known by local collectors as 
Junonia genoveva, Cram., are, as a rule, brighter than 
South American, with the transverse white band near the 
tip of the fore-wing fairly conspicuous, being of the form 
zonalis, Feld.* They are somewhat intermediate in 
character, between the South American and North 
American forms, to which latter specimens in the Hope 
Collection from the Bahamas approach more nearly. 
Anartia jatrophe, Linn., var. jamaicensis, Moschler. 8 2, 
7 @. Widely distributed and abundant. Constant Spring, 
Castleton, Mandeville, Mackfield, Montego Bay, Walderston 
(scarce), Christiana, Port Antonio. 
It is par excellence the common road-side Butterfly of 
Jamaica. A somewhat ghostly looking insect on the 
wing; when settled among whitish dead grass, with wings 
closed, it is very cryptic. It usually settles on the ground 
or close to it and does not frequent flowers much. 
Jamaican specimens are all very readily distinguished 
from those from South America by the broad bright fulvous, 
or orange brown, margin to the wings. ‘There is a mere 
trace of this colour in specimens from the mainland, 
which moreover appear to be less densely scaled. 
Cystineura dorcas, Faby. (mardania, Cram.). 22 speci- 
mens. Local; Constant Spring, Gordon Town, Mackfield 
(abundant), Williamsfield Cave, Montego Bay, Port Antonio 
(common). 
This delicate and very distinct butterfly, which some- 
what resembles a Satyrid, frequents moist, shady places 
with long grass. There is sometimes much fluttering in 
its very slow flight, but at other times it ghdes. Though 
not such a flower-lover as many Nymphalines, it often 
visits the Spanish Needle, Bidens leucanthus, W. It 
usually settles with its wings wide open, and if it close 
them up re-opens them quickly. On Ist February, 1907, 
* H. Fruhstorfer (Stett. Ent. Zeit. 1907, p. 224) comes to the 
same conclusion as Marshall as to Cramer’s three forms, but makes 
the Cuban form (zonalis according to Marshall) a new sub-species 
michelisi,
