SOME TYPE SPECIMENS OF LEPIDOPTERA AND COLEOPTERA. 5 



Phyciodes #:gon. 



Papilio sec/on, Fab., Spec. Ins., ii. p. 130, n. 594 (1781). 



Argynnis pygmsea (part), Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 290, n. 63 (1819). 



There are two specimens (Godart's types 1) in the Dufresne collection with the original label attached, 

 one of which is the Fabrician species, the other pelops, Drury. 



Phyciodes pelops. 



Papilio pelops, Drury, III. Ex. Ent., i. t. 19, f. 3, 4 (1773). 

 Argtjnnis pygmsea (part), Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 290, n. 63 (1819). 



See remarks under previous species. 



HYPANARTIA BELLA. 



Papilio bella, Fab., Ent. Syst., iii. 1, p. 328, n. 713 (1793). 

 Vanessa zabulina, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 301, n. 13 (1819). 



One specimen (Godart's type 1) in Dufresne collection. 



Pybameis calliroe. 



Hamadryas decora calliroe, Hub., Samml. Ex. Schmett. (1806-1816). 

 Vanessa vulcania, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 320, n. 55 (1819). 



Specimen (one of Godart's types'?) in Dufresne collection labelled " TeneViffe." 



Precis pelarga. 



Papilio pelarga, Fab., Syst. Ent., p. 513, n. 296 (1775). 

 Vanessa laodora, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 314, n. 38 (1819). 



There are two specimens in the Dufresne collection labelled laodora, one of which is the present 

 species, the other being galami, Boisd. The latter bears the original label, but as Godart's descrip- 

 tion agrees better with true pelarga, and as he makes no special mention of Dufresne's specimens, it 

 will perhaps be safer to let Boisduval's name stand, and treat Godart's name as a synonym of the 

 Fabrician species. After all, pelarga and galami may be only local forms of the same species. 



Anartia lytrea. 



Vanessa lytrea, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 299, n. 7 (1819). 

 Anartia dominica, Skinner, Tr. Am. Ent. Soc, xvi. p. 86 (1889). 



By comparison of Dufresne's type specimen with those in the British Museum, it is proved that 

 Skinner's species is identical with lytrea, while chrysopelea, Hub., is distinct; the latter name must 

 therefore be restored. 



DlDONIS BIBLIS. 



Papilio biblis, Fab., Syst. Ent, p. 505, n. 261 (1775). 

 Biblis thadana, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 326, n. 1 (1819). 



The Dufresne specimen (one of Godart's types ?) is a female. 



LlBYTHEA MYRRHA. 



Libythea myrrha, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 171, n. 4, (1819). 

 Types (2 specimens) in the Dufresne collection. 



Libythea terena.
