 at San Jose in July. The larva is black, broadly speckled with 

 yellow, and has the usual black spiracles. Feeds on Passiflora.

 at Eio Grande.

P. lelex, Bates. — Taken only at Limon. Four specimens.

 San Jose ; taken also at Cartago.

 March.

 Rio Grande on July 27th.

Synchloe janais, Drury. — Occurred everywhere. I found some

 pale straw colour, streaked and spotted with black.

 Guapiles or San Jose ; but at Rio Grande it was one of the commonest 

 species there.
