al. ant." He also described the first specimen [1303] thus : 

 "Al. ant. absq. mac. flav. in cellula. 1 [individual]"; 

 and noted that these varieties were " both taken on same 

 day," — 7. 6. 29. Westwood does not record these two 

 specimens on his label, probably because of their variability 

 from the type. (See 1312.) 

 18. 6. 20. 2= 1304, 1305. Par*. 



A Westwood 's label on 1304 reads " Heliconia TheJxiope 

 Hubn. S. Ex. Sch. pi. 12. and Var without detached spot." 

 Plate 12 is in vol. i. of J. Hiibner's ' Sammlung exotischer 

 Schmetterlinge,' Augsburg, 1806. 



The detached spot between the first and second median 

 nervules of the fore wing is absent from 1305, but not from 

 1301-4; its absence or abnormally small size will be hoted in 

 each case under ihe. corresponding number. 

 Bz.+ 18. 6. 29, = 1306. Paid. 



Detached spot absent except for a minute trace. West- 

 wood's list records one other specimen of this date. 

 20. 6. 29. = 1307. Paid. 



1. 7. 29. 2= 1308, 1309. Paid. " Walk to the Caza de 

 Pao." 

 The detached spot is small on the left side, and exists only 

 as a minute point on the right of 1308. It is altogether 

 absent from 1309. An additional small yellow spot occurs 

 in the centre ot the fore wing cell of 1308. A Westwood's 

 label on 1309 reads " Helic. Thelziop." 



Westwooa's list refers in the following note to the fact that 

 two individuals of this species and two of //. erato amazona 

 were caught on the same day : — " so that 2 ind 8 . of this and 2 

 of the precedg. ( J & $ ) were taken on same day 1. 7. 29." 

 There can be little doubt that this note was intended to draw 

 attention to the coincidence in habits between two species 

 that were considered until quite recently to be very closely 

 allied. 



4. 7. 29. = 1310. Paid. Detached spot absent. West- 

 wood had removed and mounted on a card, affixed to the 

 pin, one of the anterior legs of this specimen. 

 12. 7. 29. = 1311. Para. Westwood's label bears " ? ." 

 29. 7. 29. = 1312. Paid. A Westwood's label reads, 

 " Capt. 22. 5. 29 ; 18. 6. 29 (4 ind'.) ; 20. 6. 29 ; 1. 7. 29 

 (2 mo 8 .) ; 4. 7. 29; 12. 7. 29; 29. 7. 29 (2 ind 8 .); 

 8. 12. 29." t 

 Westwood's list records all the dates mentioned on this 

 label, and similarly includes one other specimen with the 

 date 29. 7. 29. The list includes in addition and describes
