ICG Mr. J. C. Moulton on the Rhopahcera 



Brassolinse, in ser. 8, vol. i. (Jan. 1908) Ann. & Mag. Nat. 

 Hist. pp. 33—42. The genera have been placed in the order 

 of Godman and Salvin's Lepidoptera lihopalocera in the 

 1 Biologia Centrali-Americana.' As on previous occasions, 

 much kind help has been afforded in the identification of 

 several specimens by Mr. F. A. Heron, of the British 

 Museum. The species of the genus Ancea were kindly 

 determined for the Hope Department by Mr. Herbert Druce, 

 F.L.S. 



The arrangement of numbers and dates is carefully ex- 

 plained in Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. ser. 7, vol. xiii. (April 

 1904) pp. 309, 310. The following additional statements 

 are quoted from ser. 8, vol. i. p. 31 : — " Notes, other 

 than numbers and dates, written on labels attached to the 

 specimens are placed between inverted commas immediately 

 after the numbers in heavy type, and immediately before the 

 locality." " When a specimen bears a number only, the 

 date, recovered from Burchell's note-book, is placed between 

 square brackets. * a.' and ( p.' associated with the date 

 stand for ' A.M.' and ' P.M.' " 



One or more specimens of each species have been compared 

 with the British Museum series, and in the case of any doubt 

 with the Godman-Salvin Collection also. 



Westwood's list of Burchell's Nymphalidae, which corre- 

 sponds to the subfamily Nymphalina?, contains 101 numbers. 

 All of these do not, however, refer to Nymphalinee, as there 

 are four numbers (N. 47, N. 47*, N. 55, and N. 56) devoted 

 to two DanainEe (Anosia erippus, Cr., and Tasitia gilippus, 

 Cr. (140-187), one (N. 39) to a Libythea, and two (N. 18 

 = 446-450, N. 20* = 451) to two Brassolinae. On the other 

 hand, copies of the data of the following Nymphalinae have 

 been obtained from his list of " Burchell's Acrsea, etc." : — 

 The numbers A. 5, A. 6, A. 7 refer to three species of Eresia, 

 A. 11 to Victorina stelenes, Linn., A. 15, A. 16 to two species 

 of Colcenis, A. 19 to Metamorpha dido, Linn., A. 20, A. 22 

 to two species of Dione. The dates of the specimens under 

 four numbers of the list of Acrgeinae &c. are very incomplete ; 

 but two small slips of paper in Westwood's handwriting give 

 a full list of the dates which should have appeared under two 

 of these, namely Dione juno, Cram., and Metamorpha dido, 

 Linn. It seems probable that there were two other lists, 

 probably on slips of paper equally small, for the two remaining 

 species, Dione vanilla?, Linn., and Colosnis julia, F., and 

 that these have since been lost. One date has been obtained 

 from Westwood's list of Erycinidse (E. 70, Phyciodes dicoma, 

 Hew.) and one from his list of Morphinse (M. 21, Prepona
