DiADEMA MISIPPUS. 



PapiUo misippus Linn. Syst. Nat. i. p. 264. 



Messrs. Godman and Salvin record this species. I have only 

 received a single female ; it belongs to the form with the white- 

 banded apex, and has a rather faint discal white patch on hind 

 wings above. 



Megalura peleus. 



Papilio peleus Snlz. Gesch. Ins. t. 13. f. 4. 



Three specimens in bad condition. 



Agaxisthos oriox. 



Pcqnlio orion Fabr. Syst. Ent. p. 485. 



Three specimens of this common South American species. 

 They agree best with the mainland form, not with that found in 

 the Greater Antilles. In the same way all the specimens of 

 Anartia jatroplue Linn, are typical and do not belong to the 

 variety saturata Stgr, 



ANiEA DOMIN-JCANA. 



Ancea dominicana G. & S. P. Z. S. 1884, p. 316, pi. xxv. f. 1. 

 Two females. The female differs from the male only in being 

 somewhat larger. 



Libythea fulvescens. 



Lihythea fulvescens Lathy, Abstr. P. Z. S.. 1904, Xo. 5, p. 19,^ 

 March 22. 



Uiyperside. Fore w^ing blackish brown, with the following 

 fulvoiis markings : a wide fascia within cell and two below it, of 

 which the upper is the shorter ; a minute spot on middle of costa ; 

 two large patches between this and outer margin, the upper being 

 oval in shape, the lower square, and a small oval spot about 

 midway between the latter and outer margin ; a minute spot 

 below this. Hind wing with ground-colour paler, especially 

 about inner margin ; a discal wide fulvous band, a paler patch 

 midAvay along costa, and cell suffused with fulvous. 



Underside. Fore wing with the fulvous markings all brighter 

 and more extended ; outer margin greyish, with brown striations. 

 Hind wing greyish, with brown striations, these becoming dense 

 so as to form a dark patch on costa one-third from the base ; a 

 discal band and a wide dark outer margin. 



Exp. 50 millim. 



In Coll. H. J. Adams, 1 <S (type) ; W. J. Kaye, 1 S ■ 



This species may be separated from L. carinenta Cram, and 

 L. motya Boisd. by the absence of any white markings above ; 

 and from L. terena Godt. by the greater extent of black above 

 and the unicolorous character of the fulvous markings. Mr. Kaye's 

 specimen differs slightly from the type in having the subapical 

 fulvous spots somewhat diffused.
