?>22 Mr. E. G. Joseph on the Rhopalocera 



position in the Ledrinse. Stal evidently must have wrongly 

 incorporated a note when he placed this species (Hem. Afr, 

 iv. p. 246) as a synonym of his Phlebopterum pramorsum, 

 which he figured (Ofv. Vet.-Ak. Forh. 1856, p. 67, pi. i. 

 fig. 8). Melichar has copied the error (Ann. Hofmus. Wien, 

 xvii. p. 2, 190.2).

VII. Heliconiinje. 



Mr. J. C. MOULTON having left England in order to under- 

 take the curatorship of the Sarawak Museum, I suggested to 

 Mr. E. G. Joseph, of Lincoln College, Oxford, the preparation 

 of an account of further groups of Buichell's Brazilian 

 butterflies. To this Mr. Joseph readily assented, and, in the 

 course of the work, I have had abundant opportunities of 

 witnessing the great patience witli which he lias performed 

 this laborious task and his success in doing justice to the 

 wonderful accuracy and powers of observation of the illustrious 

 naturalist. E. B. PoiJLTON. 



The following paper forms the continuation of the valuable 

 publications of Mr. J. C. Moulton on BurchelPs Brazilian 

 Nymphalinse and of Miss Cora B. Sanders on the earlier 

 subfamilies. 



In the nomenclature and succession of the species of 

 Heliconiinse I have followed Stichel's monograph in Wyts- 

 nian's ' Genera Insectorum ' l , and have only departed from 

 his arrangement by splitting up Heliconius nanna into two 

 subspecies. 



The whole of the Heliconiinse in the Hope Department 

 have been worked out and arranged, according to Stichel's 

 monograph, by Mr. W. J. Kaye, E.E.S. I owe a deep debt
