misippus (as coming from 8.A.) labelled in Mr. Tepper’s hand- 
writing as above, 1.e., chrysippus ; it is in this manner that errors 
of locality are recorded. 
DANAIS ERIPPUS, Crain. 
This may be a “notoriously modern introduction,” but it is not 
“« sporadic.” 
XENICA ACHANTA, Don. 
This was not in Mr. Tepper’s list, hence my reason for men- 
tioning it. 
PYRAMEIS ITEA, /a/. 
Of this species Mr. Tepper says, “The stinging nettle cannot 
have been the original food-plant of this species.” I did not say 
it was the original food-plant, but I did say that the species 
feeds on it, and can be reared in the usual manner. My Notes 
were intended as a guide to future students. 
P. Kersuawl, WcCoy. 
I always admitted that this species is a very slightly divergent 
form of “ cardwi.” My reason for adopting the first name was 
on account of it being better known, and out of respect to Prof. 
McCoy. Mr. Tepper miscontrues my remarks when he says that 
“dry cowdung” cannot be the proper shelter of the chrysalides 
of this species. I simply mentioned the fact as being of general 
interest to collectors, and never thought for an instant that it 
was the “proper” shelter, but more likely an adaptation to cir- 
cumstances. 
JUNONIA VELLIDA, Fal. 
The word “ Junonisa” is wrong. I should have thought Mr. 
Tepper would have noticed the error. 
Lucia Lucanus, Fabr. 
Most of the genera of Lyccenide are not separated by very 
slight differences, as Mr. Tepper would have us believe. It is 
not my intention to write a dissertation on the family, but I 
could point out well-marked differences in the genera Polyommat- 
tus, Cupido, Lucia, ke. The “qualifying terms” are not exag- 
gerated in this instance. For the benefit of Mr. Tepper and 
others not conversant with the species I may mention that 
“lucanus” is in general appearance very like Lycena agricola, 
D. & H., but has a fiery copper discal area; in “ wurifer” the 
shape of wings is quite different ; in fact, as dissimilar as can be, 
being in shape like Huchloris (Iodis) bipunctifera, Walk., with its 
peculiar angulated hindwing. The chequered cilia of “/Jucanus”
