Danaides. 
Herrich-Schaffer (Stettin, ent. Zeitiing, 18G9) figures Euploea eleuthoy 
var. 2 (pl- 2. f. 7) ; E. eleutho, var. angasii (pi. 2. f. G), and E. eleutho, var. 
cschscholtzii (pi. 2. f. 9). He also (l.c. p. G9) remarks that E. montrouzieri 
and leivini are only local forms of the same insect, and describes a male 
specimen of E. eleutho from Godeffroy’s collection. lie refigures E. eleutho 
and vars. angasii and escJischoltzii, Samml. aussereurop. Schmett. ii. f. 107-109. 
Kirby states (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 18G9, p. 368) that Euploea prothocy 
Qodt. = qffiniSy Grael. = phama7'etay Schall. j and that E. eimicey Godt. = wcmcr- 
tes, llxibn. = leucosticios, Gmel. He adds that Butler has also discovered the 
identity of E. protJio'e with E. jxlicBnareta. 
Trimen (Trans. Linn, Soc. xxvi.) treats of the South-African species of 
Danais which are mimicked by other butterflies, as follows : — 1). damocles 
(p. 606) is mimicked in Angola by Diadeina damoclma ; Da^i. egialea (p. 606) 
is mimicked by Diad. duhia ; Dan, echeria (p. 606, pi. 42. f. 3, 7) is mimicked 
in Natal by Diad. ^nimUy Papilio echerioideSy P. meropey var. 5 ceneay and P. 
Jconidasy var. brasidas ; Dan. niavius (p. 611, pi. 42. f. 6) is mimicked in West 
Africa hy Diad. aiithcdon and P<7^. 7nc7'opc, var. 2 bippocoo7i\ Dan. clmj- 
8ipp7ts (p. 612, pi. 42. f. 6) is mimicked by Diad. holma, Dan. clmjdppus 
var. do7’ippus, is mimicked by Diad. holma $ var. mariay and Dan. chrij- 
sippus, var. alcipp7i8, by an unnamed variety of the Diadc7na. Dan. chrijsippiis 
is also mimicked by Pap. 77ie7'opcy var. ^ trvphonius ; and in West Africa by 
Po77ialeosoma eleus. In the Eastern Hemisphere D. chrysippus is mimicked 
by Cethosia pe7iilie8ileay and A7'gy7mis niphey 5 . 
Trimen also records his observing a specimen of Dan. chrysippus (no doubt 
a male) pertinaciously pursuing a Diad. holmay $ . 
Da7iais archippus is figured in all its stages, Amer. Ent. i. pp. 28, 29 ; and 
the larva is described by Scudder from Harris’s MSS (Harris Correspondence, 
p. 276), and by W. Saunders (Canad. Entom. i. p. 74). 
Euplcea. Herrich-Schaffer (Stettin, entom. Zeitung) describes the follow- 
ing new species : — E. seriata and E. inco77iptay p. 69, from Vanna Valava; E. 
sdi777eltziy p. 70, pi. 2. f. 8, Upolu ; E. grosffiana (Heer, MSS. ?), I, c. pi. 2. 
f. 6, Vanna Valava. He remarks that Hewitson considers the figure of P. 
g7'cpffiana to represent E. his77iey but that in his opinion E. his77ie is identical 
with E. eimice. He refigures E. schmeltzi and E. grmffianay Samml. ausser- 
europ. Schmett. ii. f. 110, 111.

Heliconiides. 
Hewitson (Equatorial Lepidoptera, p. 9) remarks on the species of Jleli- 
co7iia collected by Buckley in Ecuador, and describes a variety of H. 
thdxiope. He also proposes (1. c. p. 22) to separate the insect figured as 
Ithomia lavmia in his Exot. Butt. i. pi. 16. f. 34, under the name of 7. mirza ; 
but this name cannot bo retained, as Herrich-Schaffer has restricted the 
name lamiia to it in his Prodr. Syst. Lep. i. p. 47, and given the name 
Jl7j7ne7iitis vanilia to the insect figured by Hewitson (1. c. figs. 36, 36). 
Hewitson represents the neuration of several species of Itho 77 iia in Exot.
