Euptychia hermes, Fabr. — At Guapiles and Limon. 



E. hesione, Staud. — Also only seen at Guapiles and Limon. Very 

 difficult to find in good condition. 



Thecla hesperitus, Butl. & Druce. — One specimen only from San 

 Jose in July. 



T. empusa, Hew. — One specimen caught at San Jose the same 

 day as hesperitus. 



T. azurinus, Butl. & Druce. — I caught one beautiful specimen at 

 Guapiles in April. 



T. beon, Cram. — Not uncommon at Limon in April. 



T. aufidena, Hew. — One male and one female, both caught by

T. togama, Hew. — Occasionally' met with at Limon, and after- 

 wards at Guapiles. 



T. phcea, Godm. & Salv. — Two specimens from Herr Brade's 

 garden near San Jose in July. 



Timolus basalides, Geyer. — Two specimens from San Jose in June 

 and July. 



Bekoa meton, Cram. — Occasionally seen and captured near San 

 Jose. 



Chilades theonus, Lefebvre. — One from Limon in March. 



Epargyreus zestos, Hiibn. — One from San Jose in July. 



Telegomis alardus, Stoll. — One from San Jose in July. Others 

 were seen, but it seemed to be very difficult to come across this 

 beautiful " skipper" in good condition. 



Pyrrhopyge Venezuela, Doubld. — One (very fine) taken at Kio 

 Grande. 



Thymele fugerator (?), Walsh. — I bred several of what I believe 

 to be this species at San Jose, in June and July, from larvae found 

 when very young on a kind of wild sweet pea. The young larva 

 creates for itself a little tent-shaped covering on the edge of the leaf 

 by eating away a narrow groove, and then turning over a piece of it, 

 and securing it by a web in the position desired, from which it 

 only emerges to feed. When full-grown it is a beautiful object, 

 bright apple-green, thickly irrorated with lemon-yellow. The head 

 is shiny russet-brown, with an orange spot on either cheek ; the 

 rudimentary legs are red. 



Eudamus proteus, Linn. — I saw this butterfly not unfrequently 

 but having already secured a long series in Cuba, all I seem to have 

 from Costa Rica is one bred specimen from a larva I found while 

 searching for the preceding, which it resembles in its habits.
