Morphides, 
Bar (Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr. 4« sdr. tome iv. pp. 29-33) describes the habits of 
the species of Morpho observed by him in Guiana, in correction of statements 
published by Guenee on the authority of Lacordaire. The species observed 
by him during a residence of eleven years were nine in number, namely, 
belonging to the 
Perseus group^i 3 sp., M. Juicuha, metellus, and telemachus. 
Adonis group, 1 sp., M. eugenia. 
Achilles group, 3 sp., M. aehilles, deidamia, and nestor. 
Menelaiis group, 1 sp., M. menelaiis. 
Rhetenor group, 1 sp., M. rhetenor, $ M. andromachus. 
M. rhetenor, according to Bar, differs so much from the rest of the species, 
that it might form the type of a new genus. M. hecuha and M. metellus are 
true species, and not females of other species ; the author has botli sexes of 
both of them. He gives a detailed description of M. eugenia (Boisd.), 1. c. 
p. 32. In opposition to the statements of Lacordaire, the author affirms that 
the Morphos do not usuallj^ fly at any great height, but the elevation varies 
with the groups. In the groups Rhetenor, Perseus, and Adonis the flight is 
highest, from eight to twelve metres above the ground j in the other two 
groups the insects rarely fly at a greater elevation than from two to three 
metres.

Satyrides, 
Hewitson remarks of Mycalesis dora, ‘‘ When I named this species, I con- 
sidered that it was sufficiently different from dejanira, and so it is with us^ 
though not so on the continent. I have therefore renamed it.” 
E. Newman (Entomologist, vol. ii.) describes the larvae of Satyrus megcera 
(p. 81), S. hyperanthus (p. 82), Chortobius davus (p. 83), and C. pamphilus 
(p. 89).
