* No butterflies related to Argynnis, Heliconia, or Nymphalis are now known 
there. 
Probably they are only erroneous names for some of the most common 
species, which are not otherwise mentioned. 
+ ‘‘ The caterpillar is of a very large size, and feeds on potatoes [?sweet], jas- 
mine, etc.” 
Sphinx. 
This remark indicates that it was the common Sweet-potato 
{ ‘The great swift or ghost moth (Hepialus huwmutli) is a common insect; the 
male, with silvery white wings, and the female, buff with reddish marks.” 
Nothing resembling this European moth has been recorded by any other writer. 
§ ‘The death-watch Anobium pertinax is of a uniform brownish black color 
and is very common in our houses. The two sexes, in the season of love, have 
the habit of calling one another by beating with the mandibles on the wood- 
work.” It is not stated whether this is from personal observation or not, but 
probably some species of Anobium does occur. . 
|| Harwig, [? European] ‘‘ ferruginous brown, shining, with a reddish head.” 
“| Body deep brown, of a soft texture, head small, almost triangular, elytra 
and wings a little longer than the body.” Wings of real orientalis are rudimen- 
tary. 1 
#* <A larger species of cockroach.” 
Dimensions not given. 
+} ‘‘ The genus Scorpio (scorpions) furnishes a species known in these islands 
as the Scorpio afer. The body is blackish, with the joints of the feet and 
antenne white. It grows sometimes to the length of four or five inches, but 
when they breed in houses they do not then attain above half the size before 
mentioned.” The only modern record of a scorpion is mentioned above, p. 8380, 
and below. The latter is asmall, nearly plain brown species, quite different 
from Godet’s description.
