18 On Rliopalocera from Brazil. 



1463, allowing for the greater size and translucency of a female. 

 The ground-colour of the hind wing is peculiar^ being of a 

 very pale yellow passing into a ferrugineous subraarginal 

 band. The usual nervular and internervuiar radiate markings 

 cut into the black marginal and the ferrugineous submar- 

 ginal bands, as well as the central yellow area. The strongly 

 marked rectangulated band was recognized by Westwood 

 when he placed 1467 under A. 10 in his list (see below). 

 26. 10. 27. ? = 1468. Between Meiaponte and Goyaz. 

 " S. Joaquim." ''At the Engenho de [blank] S. Joa- 

 quim," * Oct. 25-7, 1827. 

 Submarginal spots very slightly developed. 

 Bz.-\- 26. 10. 27. ? = 1469. Between Meiaponte and 

 Goyaz. " S. Joaquim." (As 1468.) 

 Lower spot distinct, upper absent. 

 5. 3. 28. S = 1470. Goyaz. '' Caught by the rio Vermelho, 

 near the Carioca aqueduct, by C[ongo].''' Congo was 

 the name of BurchelPs native servant. 

 Lower spot well developed, upper absent. Upper surface 

 band faintly indicated as in 1444. 

 29. 4. 28. ? = 147L Goyaz. ^ 

 Lower spot distinct, upper absent. 



Besides the addition alluded to under 1461, Westwood's list 

 gives two further specimens, one being caught on 13. 3. 2Q 

 at Rio de Janeiro, the other on 16. 11. 26 at Santos. The 

 data of this species not only appear as A. 8, A. 9, and A. 10 

 in Westwood's " Acrcea &c./' but also separately on a small 

 slip of pa|)er. The first of these lists is in a clerk's hand- 

 writing and is not quite so complete as the second, though 

 it correctly records two specimens of the date 18. 12. 26, 

 while only one such specimen is mentioned in the other list. 



Most of the specimens of this species are included under 

 the number A. 8 of the first list, and Westwood wrote oppo- 

 site to it " Acraea sp." A. 9, however, refers to four speci- 

 mens bearing the data 360 (1445), 14. 12, 26 (1460), 1. 4.27 

 (1465), 13. 4. 27 (1466) ; opposite to these he wrote " var. 

 d" [«'. e. of Acrcea sp.] with narrow band across h[ind] 

 w[ing].''' Finally A. 10 refers to three individuals with the 

 following dates :— two with 18. 12. 26 (1462 and 1463), and 

 9. 5. 27 (1467). These he describes as "var. d° [L e. of 

 A. 8] with band across h[ind] w[ing], broader.''^ 



The second list, which is altogether in Westwood's hand- 

 writing, bears the iieading " Acraea Thalia^ 



In both lists 1447-1450 are recorded with their dates as 

 well as with their numbers.
