 p. 24. 8. 28. 2= 712, 713. At Retiro. (As 514.) 



Westwood's list agrees, though he places this species with 

 the next under the name Anyerona Ferentina.

 1. 2. 30. = 720. Parfi. In the forest S.S.E. of S. Jozd. 



Westwood's list agrees. On 720 he had written " Anye-

 Westwood's list and name agree, except that he writes 

 the generic name as Angerona. On 722 he had written 

 '•^ Anyerona Chloe, Stoll."

10. 1. 26. 3= 724-726. Rio de Janeiro. (As 670.) 



Westwood's list gives another individual captured 7. 3. 26. 

 Rio de Janeiro. " At Catombl." His name and dates 

 otherwise agree. 



The general resemblance on the upper surface between this 

 species and Hypna clyteinnestra, Cr., may prove to be of 

 mimetic significance. On comparing the data on Burchell's 

 specimens the following facts are evident : — Between Sept. 8th, 

 1825, and April 3rd, 1826, Burchell captmed 54 specimens 

 (by Westwood's list, see pp. 167-168) of Ilypna clytemnestra, 

 Cr., at Rio de Janeiro and its neighbourhood. Of these 

 46 can now be traced. In the same locality he took 4 

 specimens (of which we now possess 3) of Gyncecia dirce, L., 

 on the two dates Jan. 10th, 1826, and March 7th, 1826. 

 From Westwood's list we gain still further evidence that tiie
