RHOPALOCERA. 383 
Eiicides acacetes, Hew., = jE^. Imnpeto, Bates. Hewitson, Equat. Lep, pre- 
face, p. ii. 
IIewitson notes (Equat. Lep. p. ii) that Ilerrich-Schaffer has proposed 
the name vanilia for Ithomia lavinia, Hew. f. 35, 86. His own name 2\ mirza 
is therefore discarded. 
BoTsnuvAL (Ldp. Gnat. pp. 27-.35) states that the genera Lpcorea and 
Ifunn belong to the Danaides, and that Lycorea pasinuntia, ceres^ and ater~ 
gatis are probably only modifications of one species. He remarks on the larvne 
of Ileliconia, Mcchanitis, &c., doubts if Heliconia zulcika, Hew., truly belongs 
to tlio genus, states that Tithorea duenna, Bates, and tarrncina, Hew., may 
iiUimately form a ncnv genus, proposes tlio name Xnnihndcis for the genus 
Thyridia, Hiibn. {see. typ.,= Methona, Holibl., as restricted by Bates), de- 
scribes as new Mechanitis doryssa {doryssus, Bates), refers Heliconia telchinia, 
Boubl. & Hew., to the genus Mechanitis, and substitutes the MS. name 
Ithomia eiiphane, Klug, for agrippina, Hew. 
Co?'bulis, g. n., Boisd. Lep. Gnat. p. 32. Differs from Ithomia by its reddish, 
semitransparent wings, and from Ilynicnitis by the absence of a transverse 
band in the discoidal cell of the fore wings. Type Ithomia agrippina,

fore wings black, with white spots at the tip ; discoidal cell white j hind, 
wings white or ferruginous, with a black border. Type Ithomia ilerdina. 
Hew. 
Ceratonia*, g. n., Boisd. 1. c. A black spot in the discoidal cell of fore 
wings. Type Ithomia stella, Hew. 
Choridis, g. n., Boisd. 1. c, p. 33. Size rather large ; wings slightly trans-

in this family.
