174 Mr. J, U. Moulton on the Rhopalocera 



placed this species under the same number as 542, with the 

 generic name Apatura. 



646 is very like the other 2 c? c? of Burchell's series, but 

 differs from them and a series in the British Museum from 

 Braiiil and Paraguay in this respect, namely, that the sub- 

 apical brown spots are much smaller and more separated.

Chlorippe Hilda, Drury, a mimic of Adelpha nea, Hew. 



On the upperside this Chlorippe departs in both sexes from 

 the usual pattern and colouring of its genus, and assumes the 

 regular Adelpha pattern of white band, breaking into orange 

 in the fore wing, on a dark brown background. Of the 

 three specimens caught by Burchell, two were taken a little 

 south of Para. These exactly resemble in pattern a single 

 specimen of Adelpha nea, Hew., also taken by him at Pard., 

 though three months later. The chief points to be noticed 

 are : — the shape of the orange band in the fore wing, which 

 is pinched in at the apex of the discoidal cell in nea, while in 

 linda the apical portion is separated by a narrow interval 

 from the rest of the band. The white band, however, con- 

 tinues downwards of exactly the same width and shape, and 

 the orange patch at anal angle in nea is reproduced in linda 

 by a rather narrower streak. The shape of the fore wing of 

 linda is rather less hooked than in the other species of 

 Chlorippe^ thus following the straighter hind marg*in of the 

 Adelpha. We may thus safely conclude that Adelpha nea^
