[Felder (lleise Nov. T^op. iii. p. 856) has already proposed the name mcsso-

Hewitson’s f. 3.] 
Acrmdes. 
Butler remarks (Cat. Lep. Fabr. pp. 128-135) that Pap. macariay Fabr., 
z^Planema euryta, 8, Cram., and is distinct from the macaria of Godart ; 
Acrcea carmentky Doubl. & Hew., is a slight var. of Planemajodutta, Fabi\, 
sp. ; P. macarina, Butl. (Ashanti form of Acrcca alciope, Hew.), is probably 
P. jodidta^ (S ; Pap. pasiphae, Fabr., = Paj). medea, Cram., is an aberration of 
Gnesia egina, Fabr. 
Trimen remarks (Tr. E. Soc. 1870, pp. 345-347) on specimens of Acrcea 
neobule, A. natalica, and A. anacreon, taken in Basuto-land by J. II. Bowker. 
Pie now considers A. natalica to be distinct from A. hypatia. 
Acrma andromacha. Butler has observed some aberrations in the neuration 
of the hind wings of this species, whicli loads him to doubt the value of neu- 
ration as a specilic character iu Ithomia &c. He thinks, too, that now genera 
may sometimes be formed by variations in neuration becoming constant.

Boisduval (L(Sp. Guat. pp. 36-53) proposes the name Synalpc for Clothilda^ 
Blanch.; remarks that Jiiblis ayaniaa, Boisd,, and Didonis pasira, Dcnihl. &; 
Hew., are perhaps oidy vars. of hypcria, (h-am. {biblk, h'abr.), and tliat bon- 
plandiy Latr., is perhaps not a Synchlo'c\ describes Synchloe paupcra, Feld., as 
new ; proposes the name Corybas for Pyrrhoyyra, Hiibn., and states that P. 
otolais, I.acordaire [Bates], is probably only a var. of tiphaf Linn. ; remarks on 
Heterochroa iphiclus, Linn., and the species which have been confounded with 
it ; notes the differences between Chlorippe laura, Dm., and C. acca, Feld. ; 
states that Apatura lucasii, Doubl. Ilew., = cyane, Latr. ; proposes the name 
Hdicodes for Protoyonius, Hiibn. ; and complains that Doubleday has applied 
his [MS. !] name cecrops to a variety of Prot. fabius, instead of to some Bra- 
zilian species to which it belongs ; and notes that ryphea, Cram., which has 
been confounded by Godart with Hiibn., = PujL>/n'rt /ie/ic, Linn. Si- 
derone mars, Hew. [Bates], is probably tlie male of marthesia, Cram. 
Butler (Cat. Lep. Fabr. pp. 46-119) notes on species of this family that 
P. herse, Fabr,, = P. lycaon, $, Fabr., and is an near a/icm, Edwards;
