INSECT A — LEPIDOPTERA.

with him, as they are strikingly different in colour, and I cannot assume 
for them a difference of sex, as the specimens in the Berlin collection 
are both of the same sex. It is to be remarked, according to Westwood, 
that P. antenor, Dr., an African insect, as well as Agapenor, F. (not 
Boisd.) is policenes, Cr., and polyxenes, Enc. ; also, that antheus, F., is 
antharis, Enc., and agapenor, Boisd. ; that messalina, Stoll., is cynorta, 
Boisd. (not Fab.); that hippocoon, F., is Westermanni, Boisd.; finally, 
that P. Orestes, F., is probably an East Indian Eques, allied to the 
Nomius, Esp., perhaps with a mutilated tail. 
Westwood adds (ibid. p. 189) two new species from the Gold Coast : 
P. charopus, allied to P. nireus, and P. hesperus. 
Many species of Papilio have been described and figured. Westwood 
(Ann. Nat. Hist. ix. p. 36) has given the diagnosis of a series of new 
species from Sylhet: P. bootes, astorion, chara, castor, pollux, arc- 
tiirus. The last, which is widely distributed in the Himalaya, and the 
first, are also figured (Arcan. Ent. t. 27 and 31). Doubleday has also 
described (Gray, Zool. Misc. ii. 73), as from Sylhet : P. ganesa, P. poly- 
euctes, and xenocles, from Nepal and Assam, of which the first agrees 
with the P. arcturus, the second with bootes, Westw. ; the third must 
be the same with pollux, W. 
Adam White has made known two new species from the island of 
Penang; P. varuna and isivara (Entomol. p. 280). 
From the same place, and from the coast of Malacca, Guerin (Deless. 
Souv. ii. 68-71, t. 17-19) has figured some species previously charac- 
terized in the Bev. Zool. : P. Delessertii (perhaps melanides, De Haan), 
P. neptunius, P. saJurnus (= nephelus, De Haan), P. brama, Guer. 
(ibid. p. 71) = Palinurus, De Haan. P. canopus, Westw. (Ann. Nat. 
Hist. ix. p. 37), from Melville Island, is a species allied to the P. pam- 
mon. 
Westwood has figured a new species from Mexico (Arc. Ent. i. p. 67, 
t. 18), P. monte zuma ; and has given upon the same plate a figure of 
P. pelaus, F., an American species whose locality is not exactly known. 
Klopsch (Arbeit, der Schles. Ges. f. vaterl. Kult.) has given some 
observations on the caterpillar of the P. podalirius. 
Pierides. — A new species of Anthocharis has been discovered by Cap- 
tain Charlon at Emsilah in Barbary, and has been made known by 
Donzel under the name of A. charlonia (Ann. d. 1. Soc. Ent. d. Fr. xi. 
p. 197, t. 8, f. 1). It is a male, allied to the Belia and Belemia, but 
with a sulphur-yellow ground colour. 
Various new species have been described by Doubleday (Gray, Zool. 
Miscell. ii. p. 7 5) ; Leptalis atthis, from Mexico ; L. cydno, of unknown 
locality ; Pieris thestylis, from Sylhet ; P. lalage, ibid., distinguished 
by its sickle-shaped anterior wings; P. janthe, from Sierra Leone, near 
to P. hedyle, Cr., and probably only a variety of it; P. anactorie, from
