THE ENTOMOLOGIST. 65 
No. 183. Pieris Monuste. Callao. April, 1873.—Com- 
mon. ‘This species puzzles me, as I fancy there are two or 
three closely allied, but distinct. 
No. 184. Pterts Monusie. Callao. April, 1873.—Pro- 
bably the female of No. 183. 
No. 185. Anartia Jatrophe. Callao. April, 1873.—This 
pretty and delicate butterfly was common close to the town 
of Callao; but although I caught plenty of them very few 
were fit to set. I suspect they were just passing. In its 
habits this species reminded me of V. Urtice. When dis- 
turbed it flies for a short distance, and settles on the road or 
a wall, and constantly expands and shuts its wings. It isa 
strong flyer. 
No. 187. Thecla Marsyas. Callao. April, 1873.—This 
lovely species was by no means uncommon in the neighbour- 
hoods of Callao and Lima. Its habits are those of a Thecla. 
Near Callao I obtained it flying rotind an evergreen shrub 
growing from eight to ten feet high, possessing ovate- 
lanceolate and slightly pubescent leaves, and bearing at the 
tip of each of its branches a conglomerate bunch of mauve- 
coloured flowers. 
No. 189. New genus, new species. Valparaiso. Larve 
taken in December, 1872.—Bred on board. Have worked 
out the life-history of this species. 
No. 193. Hipparchia? Valparaiso. Larve taken in 
January, 1873.—Bred on board. Took the larve of this 
species at Limache, and have worked out its history. The 
specimen forwarded is a small one, as some I have bred are 
nearly twice the size. 
No. 200. <Acrea Alalia. Callao. April, 1873.—Have 
worked out the life-history of this species. It is very abun- 
dant at Callao, though local. 
No. 212. New species. Callao. April, 1873.—This is, 
I have no doubt, the male of No. 180, as they occurred 
together. 
No. 219. Hadena ? (new species). Honolulu. June, 1873, 
—This is the produce of what the Hawaiians term the 
“army worm,” a larva which does great mischief to their 
pasture lands; and the specimens sent herewith were bred 
from larve taken by myself. ‘lhese larvee, which I observed 
in incredible numbers, and which feed perfectly exposed,
