40. Goniurus catillus, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. pi. 260. figs. F, G 

 (1782). 



41. Telegonus, sp. 1 (Olive-brown, dull green at the base.) 

 This species is quite common in collections, and therefore is sure 



to have been described ; but it would be necessary to work out nearly 

 the whole family in order to identify it, many of the descriptions 

 of Hesperiidce being so bad that their determination is simply 

 impossible. 



42. Proteides amyntas, Fabricius, Syst. Ent. p. 533 (1775). 



43. Pamphila ethlius, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv.pl. 392, figs. A, B 

 (1782). 



44. Pamphila nyctelius, Latreille, Enc. Meth. ix. p. 746 



(1823). 



45. Pamphila phylus, Drury, 111. Ex. Ent. i. pi. 13. figs. 4, 5 

 (1773). 



46. Pamphila utha, Hewitson, Descr. Hesp. p. 37. n. 32 (1868). 

 The form from Jamaica being rather different from that of 



St. Domingo (and probably of Cuba), I append a description. 



Wings above bright tawny, reddish at the base ; a broad choco- 

 late brown marginal belt from the end of the cell of each wing 

 round the outer border to the external or anal angle, where the 

 fringe becomes tawny ; primaries with a large dark brown spot 

 across the median vein ; head and collar metallic green, bordered and 

 crossed by testaceous lines of upright scales ; remainder of the body 

 above dull tawny, slightly olivaceous in front, yellowish below, 

 with blackish spots down the centre of the venter. Primaries below 

 with the disk of a yellower tint than above ; the blackish median 

 spot extended to the base, a blackish spot beyond the cell ; outer 

 border broadly brown, becoming ferruginous upon the costa : 

 secondaries ferruginous, with a spot in the cell and a squamose 

 angulated discal belt more or less orange ; anal fringe bright orange. 

 Expanse 2 inches. 



I have to thank Mr. Du Cane Godman for the identification of 

 this handsome species. I think it may be the insect intended by the 

 description of Eudanms capucinus, Lefebvre ; but the Latin of that 

 description cannot be translated. It runs thus : — " E. alis paululum 

 subrotundatis, supra piceo-fuscis ad basin ochraceo-rubescentibus ; 

 anticis in mare supra arcu minuto subtus macula fere dubia, in 

 disco luteis (fcemince utrinque maculis duabus geminis eodem colore) 

 nervula sectis ; subtus anticis ad basin et disco inferiori nigris ; 

 omnibus alis fuscis atomis rubris griseisque omnino rubescentibus." 



The whole of the descriptions of Lepidoptera in Ramon de la 

 Sagra's ' Cuba ' are of this character. E. trinitad is said to have 

 three front wings on each side, with transparent unequal and yel- 

 lowish spots, "anticis utrinque tribus tnacu/is translucidis incequali-
