m. Aug. Obs. Having at length 
found five Perfect specimens of this 
fine Papilio in five different cabinets 
(all of which were taken in England 
and agree exactly with one another 
in every respect) I now give it as a 
distinct species and not as a variety of 
Edusa which it has hitherto in this 
country been conceived to be. And 
in this I have the happiness to be 
supported by the elegant work of 
Hiibner, above cited, whose denom- 
ination of this species, IleUce, I have 
with due deference preserved, though 
previous to the possession of that 
Author’s [work ?] I had determined 
it to be distinct, and in my Ms. as in 
the Prodromus, called it Edusa alba.” 
I do not see how Haworth could have 
acted otherwise with the evidence 
before him. This should teach us to 
be exceedingly cautious in pro- 
nouncing a judgment on any species 
of which we have only a few speci- 
mens to compare, especially in a 
genus as difficult as Colias 
“ Papilio Eukopome [Colias Pal.eno ]

As Haworth identifies his speci- 
mens or figures with a specimen re- 
ceived from Germanjq it is probable 
his Europome is the true Palamo, a 
mountain insect, though according to 
AVestwood and Boisduvalthe insect 
figured by Stephens as Europome is 
Philodoce a North American species 
closely allied to Palceno.
