The numbers and dates agree with Westwood's notes. 

 Westwood's determination was Ithomia melphis, a synonym 

 of dceta. The sexes were unnoted.

30. 10. 25. (Date probably erroneous, and should be 3. 3. 28 

 or 10. 12. 29. See below.) ? = 104. Minas Geraes. 

 " (In the Forest.) On the N.E. side of the arraial of 

 Sao Joao de Nepomuce*na." Locality probably erro- 

 neous, and should be Goyaz or Para\ 

 5. 3. 28. S = 105. Goyaz. " Caught by the Rio Ver- 

 melho, near the Carioca Aqueduct, by c C '." C refers

1 105 was submitted to the late Mr. Osbert Salvin on Jan. 16, 

 1896. He considered it to be the " Guiana form of Mechanic's 

 polymnia." Although without the black hind wing which 

 is so common in Guiana, the black markings are strongly 

 developed on the secondaries of all the three female specimens, 

 resembling many of the individuals from Surinam &c. The 

 occurrence of such strongly marked forms so far to the south 

 as Goyaz was a surprise to me. The somewhat faint but 

 distinct subapical light bar of the fore wing, which is charac- 

 teristic in Guiana, is evanescent or absent in these specimens. 



— E. B. P.] 



Westwood records two additional specimens, captured 

 3 3 28 (Goyaz. " Caught in the town by the Rio Vermelho ; 

 by C[ongo]") and 10. 12. 29 (Para. " Suburbans "). On 

 the other hand, he does not give the date now affixed to 104, 

 viz. 30. 10. 25. It is probable that a label has been trans- 

 posed in the manipulation of the specimens, and that 104 

 should bear the date 3. 3. 28 or 10. 12. 29. In other respects 

 and in the determination Westwood's notes agree with these 

 records. The sexes were unnoted.
