63. Charaxes hernardus. 
Papilio hernarduSj Fabr._, Ent. Syst., iii., i., p. 71, n. 223 
(1793); Don., Ins. China, t. 35 (1798). 
This fine insect, is rather scarce, but is represented 
in every local collection that I have examined. I have 
only taken it myself on two occasions — a 6 on May 9th, 
1892, and a very fine ? on May 6th, 1893, both in 
''Happy Valley^' gardens. The 5 was taken at sap 
exudmg from the trunk of a small oak tree. I am 
indebted to Mr. F. Moore for the indentification of the 
species. 
54. Zemeros flegyas. 
Papilio flegyas, Cram., Pap. Exot., iii., t. 280, 
figg. E. F, (1782). 
Very common, especially in April and May, but stray 
specimens occur throughout the winter months. It 
frequents sunny paths and roadsides, and has a rapid 
flight, settling abruptly on leaves with wings extended 
and slightly raised. 
55. Abisara echerius, 
Papilio echeriiiSj Stoll, Suppl. Cram., t. 31, figg. 1^ 1a, b 
(1790). 
One of the commonest of the Hong-Kong butterflies, 
and it was to be taken in good condition during the 
whole period of my stay, except for some four or five 
weeks after the frost of January, 1893, when it dis- 
appeared almost entirely. It is found in the same 
situations, and has much the same habits, as the pre- 
ceding species. 
56. Guretis acuta. 
Curetis acuta, Moore, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) xx., 
p. 60. 
I have only twice met with this insect in the gardens 
at '' Happy Yalley,^^ on January 2nd and December 23rd, 
1892. I also found it in the Chusan Islands in August, 
and at Da-laen-saen, in the mountain region behind
