Eudamas catillus, Cram. Two specimens, taken late 
in the afternoon in a wood at Montego Bay; flight not 
very swift. 
Thymele grenadensis, Schaus. A very worn specimen, on 
the bank of the Rio Cobre, Spanish Town. It settled 
repeatedly on the same spot. 
Telegonus hurga, Schaus. A worn specimen, in the 
Mahogany Wood, Rockalva, Ramble. It was very bold, 
returning again and again to rest on the same fallen tree.

Prenes ares, Feld. One. “Shotover,’ Port Antonio. 
Anastrus simplicior, Moschl. One. Cold Harbour, 
Port Antonio. Rests with the wings fully expanded. 
Acolastes amyntas, Linn. One, taken by Mrs. Longstaft 
in the Botanic Garden, Castleton. 
Serdis aurinia, Plotz. One of each sex, taken at the 
foot of Park Mount, Port Antonio, about 2.30 p.m. A 
very distinct insect identified by Mr. H. H. Druce with 
Plotz excellent figure of the male from a Jamaican 
specimen. The insect does not seem to be known in 
British collections. Mr. Godman (“ Ann. Mag. Nat. Hist.,” 
Aug. 1907) says of the figure that it probably belongs to 
Limochares or Serdis. Mabille places it in his genus 
Serdis under the heading “Species non vise” (Genera 
Insectorum, Hesperide, p. 144).* 
Ephyriades otreus, Cram. One specimen, near Chancery 
Hall, Constant Spring; settled on a projecting grass stem 
with wings fully expanded. 
Hesperia syrichthus, Fabr. ‘Twelve. Generally dis- 
tributed over the Island, especially common at Mande- 
ville and Port Antonio. A somewhat variable species

* On April 5, 1908, Mr. H. H. Druce wrote saying that among 
some oddments in the British Museum he had come across the type 
of Butler’s Pamphila insolata. (See Proe. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1878, 
p. 483.) The specimen is from Jamaica (labelled insolita), and 
appears to be identical with my insects. Butler’s name has priority 
since Plotz published his description in 1883.
