100 Mr. J. C. Moulton on the Rhopalocera 



and is given in his list of Eiycinidae. Unfortunately it is in 



a very bad state of preservation, so that its determination 



can)iot be quite certain. However, there are traces of certain 



markings on the underside which have led to its inclusion in 



this series.

25. 8. 28. = 1107. Ketiro to Goyav^ira. " On the road." 



This specimen bears Westwood's number "Nym. 91" ; 



his list agrees. 

 Professor E. B. Poulton, F.E.S., and Mr. R. Trimen, 

 F.R.S., have very kindly examined these specimens, and 

 they agree that they conform to Schaus's description of 

 P. sejona. Unfortunately the type" is in America, so that 

 comparison has been impossible. The species is remarkably 

 near P. teletusa, and, in fact, may turn out eventually to be 

 only a more northern form of it. The whole genus is com- 

 posed of such variable species that it is most desirable that 

 breeding should be undertaken on a large scale to establish 

 each species on a satisfactory basis.

This species is unnamed in the British Museum, where it 

 is placed next to P. teletusa; the Godman-Salvin Collection 

 contains a long series also unnamed from Chapadaand South 

 Brazil, and a few specimens exist in the collection of Mr. H. 

 Grose-Smith. 



(1108.) Uj>perside. Ground-colour dark f u>cous-brown ; a
