c? type in Coll. Kaye. $ type in Coll. Joicey. 



The habitat of this striking el skipper " is open grassy 

 campo in S. Brazil at 3000 ft. elevation. Hardly another 

 butterfly was to be seen where the <J was caught, although a 

 close search was made at the time for further specimens of 

 what I recognized at the time as a rarity. 



On the label of the ? specimen labelled Uruguay it is 

 stated " Mr. W. C. Hewitson had this Hesperid from me 

 [Rowland Trimen] to describe and figure together with the 

 specimen of Papilio hellanichus (also from Uruguay) ; but 

 although he attached to it the label ' Apheka ' I have not 

 found that he published any description or figure of it. — 

 R. Trimen." 



The type of Papilio hellanichus, once in the Trimen col- 

 lection, was acquired witli the whole collection by Mr. Joicey.
