CATALOGUE OF DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA. 225 



This form is not perfectly identical with P. Chryseis or P. Py- 

 ranthe : although Fabricius quoted Drury's figure of the former, be- 

 cause it was the nearest approach to his species that he could get, 

 he altered the name and remarked, " apex alee haud nigricat." 

 Small specimens of P. Amaryllis represent the P. Tkisorella of Bois- 

 duval. P. Nephte is well figured in Jones's unpublished ' Icones.' 



Local form $ . Papilio (D.) Ilea, Fabricius, " alis integerrimis, 

 albis ; anticis puncto apiceque nigris, subtus omnibus cinereis, 

 puncto minuto ferrugineo : habitat in India orientali." 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. suppl. p. 421. n. 587, 588 (1798).

This form comes very near to P. Amaryllis.

P. Cast ilia is nearly allied to P. Lyside, but has no black spots 

 upon the upper surface ; the male has a yellow patch at the base of 

 anterior wings, the female varies in colour from all yellow to all 

 white. In the * Genera of Diurnal Lepidoptera ' this species is re- 

 ferred, probably inadvertently, to Gallidryas Rliadia, Boisd. (Flo- 

 rella, Pabr.) ; in Mr. Doubleday's notes to the ' Species General' it 

 is supposed to be the same as P. Ilaire, which is also an error. 



2. Gonepteryx Maerula. 



Papilio (D. C.) Maarula, Fabricius, " alis integris, angulatis, flavis ; 

 anticis supra macula atra, reliquis ferruginea : habitat in America." 

 Donovan, Ins. Ind. pi. 27. fig. 1 (1800). 



Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 479. n. 157 (1775); Sp. Ins. p. 51. 

 n. 222 (1781); Mant. Ins. p. 24. n. 255 (1787); Ent. Syst. 

 iii. p. 212. n. 664 (1793). 



Venezuela. (Obtained 1847, from Mr. Dyson) B.M. 



This is the 0. Merula (sic) of Doubleday's list. The Central- 

 American variety (Q. Lacordairii, Boisd.) is figured by Cramer (Pap. 

 Exot. pi. 129. figs. A, B) under the name of P. Ecclipsis.
