SOME TYPE SPECIMENS OF LEPTDOPTERA AND COLEOPTERA. 3 



Penoa doubledayi. 



Euploea doubledayi, Felder, Reise Novara, Lep. ii. p. 337 (1867). 

 ,, aleathoe, auct. 



The specimens in the British Museum collection referred to aleathoe do not correspond at all to Godart's 

 description, nor does the figure given by Marshall and de Nic^ville (Butt, of India, vol. i. pi. ix. fig. 17). 

 Moreover, aleathoe, as generally understood, comes from Sikkim, Sylhet, and Further India, while 

 Godart's species was stated to come from Amboyna. Under these circumstances, it seems advisable to 

 revive Felder's name for this species, and to regard Godart's species as distinct and not yet identified. 



VONONA EUPHON. 



Papilio euphon, Fab., Ent. Syst. Suppl., p. 423 (1798). 

 Danais baudiniana, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 181, n. 17 (1819). 

 ,, euphone, Godart, t.c, p. 181, n. 18 (1819). 



Godart's baudiniana is nothing but the well-known Fabrician species, and the locality "Timor" is an 

 error. Godart was evidently unacquainted with euphon, as he merely gives a translated description. 

 His types of baudiniana (2 specimens) are in the Dufresne collection. 



Lycorea cleob^ea. 



Heliconia cleobsea, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 222, n. 58 (1819). 

 One male and one female (types'?) in the Dufresne collection. 



Ceratinia euclea. 



Heliconia euclea, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 220, n. 53 (1819). 

 Jihomia fenestella, Hew., Ex. Butt. I., Ith., t. 5, f. 25 (1854). 



By an examination of the type in the Dufresne collection the identity of this species, which has long- 

 been obscure, with that of Hewitson's fenestella is established. 



Calisto hysius. 



Satyrus hysius, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 525, n. 131 (1823?). 



It is somewhat curious that, although the second part of the ninth volume of the Encyclopedic 

 Methodique is generally supposed to have been issued in 1823, the MS. Catalogue of the Dufresne 

 collection, which bears the date 1818, contains the name of this species, in the original handioriting. 

 There are two specimens in the collection, one of each sex, but only the female bears the original 

 label. This label must have been written prior to 1819, as in that year the collection came to 

 Edinburgh; and as Godart only describes the female, this specimen is evidently the type. The 

 question whether Godart wrote his description some years previous to publication, or whether the 

 generally accepted date of publication is erroneous, is a point difficult to settle. The specimens at 

 the British Museum referred to hysius differ slightly from the type, They have the ring at the anal 

 angle of the hind wings much smaller, and that at the apex of the fore wings less sharply defined. 



Acr^ea zetes. 



Papilio zetes, Linn., Syst. Nat., i. 2, p. 766, n. 110 (1767). 

 Acrxa zethea, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 236, n. 21 (1819). 



Godart's types (2 $ and 1 $ ) in Dufresne collection. 



ACR^EA SERENA. 



Papilio serena, Fab., Syst. Ent., p. 461, n. 76 (1775). 

 ? Acreea janisca, Godart, Enc. Meth., ix. p. 233, n. 10 (1819). 



As pointed out by Kirby (Syn. Cat, p. 718), Godart's species is the ? of serena. His type is in the 

 Dufresne collection.
