A single example, which we refer to this species, is included in 

 Mr. Angas's collection. It is, however, rather different from 

 our continental specimens of this insect. The pale fulvous baud of 

 the secondaries beneath is restricted to a narrow and ill-defined sub- 

 marginal band, beyond which again the wing assumes a darker 

 colour. We have in our collection a single specimen from the island 

 of Haiti which agrees with this Dominican insect ; but as we find the 

 fulvous band in our series from the mainland differing considerably 

 in certain individuals, we await further material before we are in- 

 clined to consider the Dominican insect worthy of specific distinction. 



22. Hesperia? amyntas. 



Hesperia amyntas, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 533. 

 Polygonus lividus, Hiibn. Samml. ex. Schm. ii. t. 144. 

 This is a very common insect in tropical America.

Hesperia syrichtus, Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 534. 

 Pyrgus syrichtus, Strecker, Cat. Am. Macrol. p. 176. 

 A common species in Dominica, as elsewhere. 



24. Pamphila ethlius. 



Papilio ethlius, Cram. Pap. Ex. t. 392. f. A, B. 



A single specimen of this common South-American species. 



25. Pamphila ocola. 



Hesperia ocola, Edw. Proc. Ent. Soc. Phil. ii. p. 20, t. 1 1. f. 4. 



Agrees with North-American examples of this species sent us by 

 Mr. Strecker. The figure given of it in the ' Proceedings of the 

 Entomological Society of Philadelphia ' is scarcely recognizable. 



According to our views, the species ranges from North America 

 through Mexico, Central and South America, to South Brazil ; and 

 though we have not as yet found an older name for it, so common a 

 species can hardly fail to have one. 



Mr. Angas's specimens are perhaps a little darker beneath than 

 usual, but the difference is not material.
