48 Dr. G. B. Longstaff’s Notes on 
specimens from Jamaica and other islands were named by 
Mr. Butler idaire, Godt., but the type of Godart’s insect 
came from Brazil. In the museum at Kingston this bears 
the name Appias poeyi, Butl. It is perhaps the Mylothris 
margarita of Hiibner. It would be interesting to see 
Jamaican specimens taken in the wet season, for the 
presumption is that mine are of the dry form. 
Sphenogona adamsi, Lathy. Of this butterfly, so rare 
in collections, I was fortunate enough to secure a male and 
three females. One of the latter was taken near Constant 
Spring, the other three specimens on the Manchester 
Mountains, viz. one at Contrivance, about 2700 feet, the 
other two on Mile Gully Mountain at nearly the same 
elevation. 
The solitary specimen in the National Collection is 
from “ Kingston, Jamaica.” 
Terias euterpe, Ménét, 389%, 212. The commonest 
species of the genus in Jamaica. Constant Spring 
(abundant), Gordon Town (not common), Castleton, Man- 
deville, Ramble (abundant), Montego Bay, Walderston 
(not common), Port Antonio (common), 
As this little butterfly flits along close to the ground it 
appears to be easy to catch; however, it goes faster than 
one would think; its flight is jerky, and when struck at it 
almost always goes down into the herbage and so escapes 
the net again and again. This remark must be held to 
apply to several species of Zerias, which were not always 
distinguished in the field. 
A male was taken at Mackfield with a small sym- 
metrical injury to each hind-wing. 
Terias westwoodii, Boisd. (The Jamaican form, ? dina, 
Poey.) Three males, two females. Only met with at 
Montego Bay. It flies more freely and more strongly 
than the last. 
The Jamaican specimens are small and pale: the black 
on the hind-margin (especially in the female) is limited to 
the tip of the fore-wing. 
Terias messalina, Fabr., 10 2, 10 9. Constant Spring, 
Hotel Grounds and wood to N.E., Mackfield (common), 
Montego Bay, Spanish Town, Port Antonio. 
Terias delia, Cram., 16 3,14 9. Widely distributed, but 
not so common as euvterpe. Constant Spring (common), 
Castleton, Mandeville, Mackfield, Montego Bay, Walder- — 
ston, Port Antonio,
