Cosa acheronta, F., = cad??ius ) Cram. 



Bz.+ &9§. I. 25. 10. 25. =536. Minas Geraes. 

 " P[apilio], At Discoberto, near Jo<lo Pedro's house." 

 Bz.+ 16. 2. 26. = 537- Organ Mountains. 



Westwood's list gives three more specimens, captured 

 4. 11. 25, 10. 11. 25, 10. 1. 26 (Rio de Janeiro and neigh- 

 bourhood). 



Aganisthos orion, F. 



Bz. + 31. 10. 25. = 538. Minas Geraes. " On the road 

 between Nepomucena and Domingos Ferreira's." 



Westwood's list includes three more specimens captured 

 10. 3. 26 Rio de Janeiro, 31. 8. 27 Veraviuha, between Rio 

 Pardo and Rio Grande, 26. 1. 29 Porto Real (Porto Na- 

 eionale). In his list Westwood gives Burchell's number 

 I291 under this last date, and we may therefore conclude 

 that Burchell was speaking of A. orion in the following- 

 passage from his Brazilian note-book : — 



" I2gj Papilio. The nature of this seems carnivorous as it 

 frequently returned and settled on the skin of the Porco do 

 Matto." Mr. Oldfield Thomas, F.R.S., kindly informs me 

 that two forms of Peccary (Tayassu tajacu and T. albirostris) 

 occur in the locality and that either might be called " Porco 

 do Matto."

9. 3. 26. ? = 539. Rio de Janeiro. 



Westwood's list places this species and Prepona pkeri- 

 damas, Cram., under one number, N. 16, and includes another 

 individual captured 22. 3. 26 b. On this latter date Burchell 

 went " along the Aqueduct to the head of the Valley of 

 Laranjeiros," and his Brazilian note-book on this date 

 reads : — " Along the Carioca Aqueduct. Those marked b 

 were purchased from some negro-insect-catchers, who caught. 

 them all in this spot, and almost all were alive when I 

 bought them." 



Prepona antimache, Hiibn. 



1213. 4. 12. 28. = 540. Porto Real [Nacionale]. " Walk 

 to the Igarape " ; and his Brazilian note-book has the 

 following passage in reference to this number: — 

 " Papilio — In the forests by the Iguape *, hovering low 

 between the brushwood." 



* The spelling differs in Burchell's two note-books.
