a small collection of insects from nicaragua. 191 



Lyc^nid^. 



42. Cycnus aufidena, Hewitson. I have not yet carefully 

 studied the characters of the genus Cycnus, which may prove to 

 be only a group of Panthiades or some other Thecline genus. I 

 use the name tentatively, Thecla being absolutely untenable for 

 the tropical American forms. 



Papilionid^. 



43. Papilio helesis, Bates. 



44. P. thymhraus, Boisduval. 



45. P. numitor, Cramer. 



46. P. alcamedes, Felder. 



47- P. panares ( <? , ? ), G. E. Gray. 



48. P. epidaus, Boisduval. 



49. P. thoas, Linnaeus. 



50. Pyrisitia proterpia, Fabricius. 



51. Sphanogona boisdiivaliana, Felder. 



52. Amynthia clorinde, Godart. 



53. Meganostoma cesonia, Stoll. 



54. Callidryas philea ( <? , ? ), Linnseus. 



55. C. senncs ( ^ ), Linnseus. 



56. Phoebis argante (<?), Fabricius. This will probably 

 prove to be the dry form of P. cipris, Cramer. 



57. Kricogonia lyside ( <? ), Godart. 



58. Pieris calydonia ( <? ), Boisduval. 



59. P. phileta Ya,Y.feronia (<?), Stephens. 



60. P.josepha (<?), Godman and Salvin. 



61. Glutophrissa ilaire var. neumcegenii, Skinner. 



Hesperiidje. 



62. Mysoria Venezuela, Scudder. 



63. Camptopleura thrasybulus, Fabricius. 



64. Calpodes nyctelius, Latreille. 



Castniid^. 



65. Castnia futilis. Walker. 



Hypsid^. 



66. Phaloesia saucia, Walker. 



Neuroptera. 



Only one species was sent, represented by one tolerably 

 perfect and one shattered example, viz. Mecistogaster ornatiis, 

 Rambur. 



I have to thank my colleague, Mr. F. A. Heron, for assistance 

 in naming the butterflies, which saved me considerable time.
