CATALOGUE OF DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 123 



Demerara. B.M.

 tion. The nearly allied species H. Vulcanus, Butler, is admirably 

 figured, without a name, in Jones's unpublished ' Icones/ vol. ii. pi. 6. 



12. Heliconius Charitonia. 



Papilio (H.) Charitonia, Linnaeus, "alis oblongis, integerrimis, atris 

 concoloribus ; anticis fasciis flavis tribus, posticis duabus : habitat 

 in America." Cramer, Pap. Exot. ii. pi. 191. fig. F (1779). 



Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 462. n. 84 (1775) ; Sp. Ins. p. 30. 

 n. 126 (1781) ; Mant. Ins. p. 15. n. 147 (1787); Ent. Syst.

Jamaica. (Obtained from Mr. Lee's Collection) B.M. 



There is one mutilated specimen of P. Charitonia in the Banksian 

 Collection in the British Museum. 



13. Heliconius Ricini, 



Papilio (H.) Ricini, Linnceus, " alis oblongis, integerrimis, fuscis ; 

 anticis utrinque fasciis duabus flavis* : habitat in Ricino Americes." 

 Merian, Ins. Surinam, pi. 30 ; Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. pi. 378. 

 figs. A, B (1782). 



Papilio (H.) Myrti, Fabricius, " alis oblongis, integerrimis, atris ; 



anticis fasciis duabus flavis ; posticis disco rufo : habitat Surinami." 



Fabricius, Syst. Ent. pp. 461, 462, n. 81, 82 (1775) ; Sp. Ins. 



p. 30. n. 123 (1781) ; Mant. Ins. pp. 14, 15, n. 139, 142 



(1787) ; Ent. Syst. iii. pp. 167, 169, n. 517, 522 (1793). 



Para, Lower Amazons. (Presented by Mrs. J. P. G. Smith) B.M. 



The true P. Ricini is figured in Jones's unpublished ' Icones ; ' he 

 also figures a species allied to P. Rhea under the same name. 



In the Banksian Collection an example of P. Clytia is labelled 

 " P. Ricini, Linn. ; " this was probably the P. Ricini of Fabricius. 

 In the ' Species Insectorum ' the P. Erycinia^ of Cramer (Pierince) 

 is quoted as P. Myrti ; it is evident, however, that the latter is iden- 

 tical with the Linnaean species. Fabricius quotes Cramer's P. Rhea 

 for the latter. 



14. Heliconius Clara. 



Papilio (H.) Clara, Fabricius, " alis oblongis, repandis, nigris flavo 

 maculatis, basi communi testacea : habitat Surinami." 

 Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 161. n. 499 (1793). 



Brazil. (From Mr. Milne's Collection) B.M. 



P. Clara is quite distinct from Cramer's P. Sylvana ; it is figured 

 in the unpublished ' Icones ' of Mr. Jones. 



* Fabricius adds " posticis basi radiatis." 



f Mr. Doubleday sunk Cramer's P. Erycinia as a synonym of P. Bellona ; it 

 seems, however, to come nearer to H. Eurytcle of Hewitson. P. Myrti is also 

 placed with P. Bellona.
