338 Mr. E. G. Joseph on the Rhopalocera 



Westwood's list records two other specimens of this date. 

 It is probable that the label of one of the missing specimens 

 was accidentally transferred at some unknown date to 1322. 

 It may have been so transferred before Westwood's list 

 was written ; for 1322, no less than the two subspecies which 

 follow it, would have been formerly identified as //. sura. 



Except for the above-aientioned discrepancies, Westwood's 

 list agrees. Opposite to the list of dates he wrote the 

 following brief description, which is equally applicable to all 

 three subspecies : — 



" lie/. Sara : blue black with middle & subap 1 . yellow 

 bar in f. w. 30 [individuals]." 



Cohort ix. EltATOFORMES. 

 Hebconius erato atnazona, Staud. 



19. 5. 29. = 1347. On the Rio Tocantins. " Araguay." 



[S. Joao da Araguay.] The town of S. Francisco 

 appears in modern maps opposite to the confluence of 

 the P. Araguay with the R. Tocantins. 

 A Westwood's label reads " Helic. Vesta? Cram, pi 119 a." 

 The u ?" has been erased in the same Indian ink as that in 

 which the words are written, — therefore probably by West- 

 wood himself. Plate 1 1 9 is in vol. ii. of P. Cramer's ' Pa- 

 pillons Exotiques des trois Parties du Monde, l'Asie, l'Afrique, 

 et l'Amerique. Amsterdam and Utrecht. 1779-1791.' 

 Cramer's vesta is a synonym of several of the subspecies of 

 erato, Linn., including erato amuzona. 



It is to be noted that there is on the fore wing of this 

 specimen a yellow spot below the first submedian nervule 

 which is not found on any of the other individuals of this 

 species captured by Burchell. This specimen is also peculiar 

 in that the outer part of the red area below the cell of the 

 fore wing upper surface bears a white V-shaped mark, more 

 strongly developed on the right side. 



20. 6. 29. =1348. Paid. 



This date is omitted from Westwood's list and from his 

 label on 1352, but appears under Euexdts tales pythaqoras 

 (see 1437). 



1. 7. 29. 2=1349, 1350. Para. "Walk to the Oaza de 

 Pao." 



In the case of both 1349 and 1350, Westwood had re- 

 moved and mounted on acaid, affixed to the pin, one of the 

 anterior legs. A Westwood's label on 1350 reads " Heliconia 

 Vesta: 1
