SOME TYPE SPECIMENS OF LEPIDOPTERA AND COLEOPTERA. i 



Glutophrissa ilaire. 



Pieris ilaire, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 142, n. 83 (1819). 

 Mylothris margarita, Hub., Samml. Ex. Schmett (1816-1841). 



Godart's name probably is the earlier one. There is only one specimen in the Dufresne collection, but it 

 is no doubt one of the types. 



IXIAS VENILIA. 



Pieris venilia, Godart, Enc, Meth., ix. p. 121, n. 7 (1819). 



One specimen, a male, in the Dufresne collection, evidently one of the types. /. venatrix, Wallace, is 

 venilia, Godart, in part, as the latter author apparently described both species as one. 



Teracolus phisadia. 



Pieris phisadia, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 132, n. 40 (1819). 

 Pontia arne, Klug, Symb. Phys., t. 7, f. 1-4 (1829). 



Idmais phisadia et arne, Boisd., Sp. Gen., i. p. 587, n. 3, t. 19, f. 2 (1836). 

 „ philamene, Mabille, Compt. Rend. Soc. Enf. Belg., xxxiii. p. cvi. (1880). 



Type in Dufresne collection. 



Papilio zidora. 



Acrsea zidora, ? Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 237, n. 22 (1819). 

 Papilio ridleyanus, White, Ann. Nat. Hist., xii. p. 262 (1843). 



It is somewhat startling to find that the single specimen in the Dufresne collection labelled "zidora, fem.," 

 and described by Godart as the female of his Acrsea zidora, is nothing else but Papilio ridleyanus, White ! 

 That he certainly confused the two species is further shown on examining his description of the female. 

 He says : — " Cette bande " [i.e., the "bande fauve ou d'un rouge-cerise "] " s' etend un peu sur les pre- 

 mieres ailes du male ; dans la femelle, au contraire, elle monte beaucoup plus haut, et elle est divis^e 

 en cinq taches ovales, dont la superieure plus petite." Now this description exactly fits Papilio 

 ridleyanus, which name must therefore stand as a synonym, and the name zidora be restored under the 

 present genus. 



Type in Dufresne collection. 



Papilio triopas. 



Papilio triopas, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 33, n. 23 (1819). 

 Type in Dufresne collection. 



Papilio zacynthus. 



Papilio zacynthus, Fab., Ent. Syst., iii. 1, p. 15, n. 46 (1793). 

 <£ ,, polymetus, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 35, n. 28 (1819). 



Godart's species is represented in the Dufresne collection by a single specimen, which is the male of the 

 Fabrician species. It bears the original label, and is probably one of Godart's types. 



Papilio cresphontinus. 



Papilio cresphontinus, Mart., Psyche, t. 3, f. 8 ; t. 4, f. 10 (1797). 

 ,, temenes, Godart, Enc Meth., ix. p. 63, n. 104 (1819). 



One specimen in the Dufresne collection, presumably one of Godart's types. 



Papilio machaonides. 



Papilio machaonides, Esp., Ausl. Schmett., t. 45, f. 2 (1785-1798). 

 ,, hjcorseus, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 63, n. 105 (1819). 



Type of Godart's species in the Dufresne collection.
