256 MR. F. MOORE ON LIMNAINA AND EUPLCEINA. [May 1, 



Note. Certain species of Hamadryas are mimiclced in New Zea- 

 land, Australia, and in the Malay islands by species of the genus 

 Neptis ; and it is a curious fact that Neptis (Phcedi/ma) sliepherdi, an 

 Australian species, with N. cerne, iV. heliodora, and N. latifasciata, 

 approach considerably in form and pattern of markings to the South- 

 American Heliconid Titlwrea honplandii. This resemblance of the 

 Australian Neptis to Tithorea has suggested to me that we may 

 expect to find in this region a nearer connecting form between , 

 the Euplceina and Heliconids than Hamadrijas. 



Hamad njas is apparently an isolated genus, having, so far as I 

 know, no eastern %ery closely allied forms. It has great resemblance 

 to some forms of South- American Ithomias (genus i«wco%ra, &c.).
