CATALOGUE OF DIURNAL LEPJDOPTERA. 281 



Fabricius, in his ' Ent. Syst.,' quotes P. Oileus of Linnaeus as a 

 synonym of this species ; Linnaeus, however, states that his species 

 comes from Algeria. 



5. Pyrgus Hemes. 



Papilio (P. U.) Hemes, Cramer, " alis rotundatis, integerrimis, 

 atris ; anticis macula, posticis fascia albis : habitat Surinami." Pap. 

 Exot. ii. p. 103. fig. F (1779). 



Fabricius, Sp. Ins. p. 136. n. 629 (1781); Mant. Ins. p. 89.

 Indiis. 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 340. n. 294 (1793). 



Not in the British-Museum collection. It seems to differ from 

 P. Hemes chiefly in having the band of the hind wings divided by 

 the nervures. 



7. Pyrgus Spio.

 cantibus undique albo maculatis : habitat ad Cap. bon. spei." Dono-

 n. 645 (1781) ; Mant. Ins. p. 92. n. 833 (1787); Ent. Syst.

Curror, Esq., Surgeon, R.N.) B.M. 



Although Linnaeus describes this species (Mus. Lud. Ulr.) as 

 coming from the Cape of Good Hope, Fabricius gives the locality 

 " In India." 



8. Pyrgus Galba. 



Hesperia (U.) Galba, Fabricius, " alis integris, divaricatis, nigris, 

 albo punctatis ; posticis subtus griseis, fasciis duabus albis : habitat 

 Tranquebariae." 



Fabricius, Ent. Syst. iii. p. 352. n. 337 (1793).

Mrs. Templeton) B.M. 



This species is closely allied to P. Spio and P. Halvce. 

 * Donovan's figure is not good.
