micked in West Africa by varieties of Panopea hirce and by Melanitis phegea 
(type) ; A. aganice (p. 616, pi. 42. f. 2) is mimicked in South Africa by Pa- 
nopea tarquinia (pi. 42. f. 4) ; A, lycoa (p. 616) is apparently mimicked by 
Panopea lucretia) A. zetes (p. 617, pi. 42. f. 8, 9) is mimicked in West Africa 
by Panopea hoisduvalii] and in South Africa the variety acara of A. zetes is 
mimicked by a variety of the Panopea ; A. egina (p. 618) is probably mimicked 
by Papilio ridleyanus, which, however, almost equally resembles A. zetes and 
A. pere^ina.

Nymphalides. 
Hewitson (Equatorial Lepidoptera, pp. 23-31) alludes to the most inter- 
esting species of Eresia, Catagramma, Callithea, Agrias, Prepona, and Side- 
rone taken by Buckley in Ecuador. He also states (I, c. pp. 23, 24) that 
Ercsia ithomiola, Salvin, = E. peloria ^ , and describes another variety of the 
female of the same species from Ecuador. He also (/. c. p. 29) mentions two 
varieties of Catagramma maimuna from Ecuador, and points out the differ- 
ences between C. alieia and C. vaninka. He also questions the correctness 
of separating the genera Pandora and Batesia. [The former name is pre- 
occupied in concliology.] 
Wallace monographs the genera Mynes and Prothoe (Trans. Ent. Soc* 
Lond. 1869, pp. 77-81). He describes the female of M. geoffroyi and some 
varieties of both sexes. Ho refers M. lends and allies to the genus Prothoe^ 
and remarks on the habits, sexual variation, and geographical distribution of 
P. franchii, lends, and midderi. He also {1. c. pp. 337-348) gives lists of the 
Eastern species of Cethosia, Cirrochroa, Terinos, Atella, Laogona, and Par- 
thenos, and describes several new ones. He remarks on the characters of the 
genus Terinos, and describes a variety of T, rohertsia. He also describes the 
female of Parthenos tigrina. 
He l’Orza (Lepid. Japon. p. 25) states that Boisduval possesses both 
sexes of Argynnis panlina, Nordm., from Japan ; and as he mentions that he 
himself has a bad specimen of A. sagana, Doubl., his expressions seem to 
throw some doubt on A. panlina being really the female of A. sagana, as 
stated by Bremer. He questions (/. c. p. 28) whether Vanessa angelica. Cram., 
is really the true c-aureuni of Linnreus. He also mentions (p. 29) that he 
has a .Japanese specimen of V. v-alhum intermediate between European spe- 
cimens and the N. American V, j-alhum. 
Butler (Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond. 1869, p. 273, pi. 6. figs. 2, 3) describes 
and figures a variety of Argynnis aglaia from Chamouny. He also states 
that A. adippe (aglaia by misprint) and A. niohe are apparently only varieties 
of one species. He also figures Char axes etesipe, Godt. (1. c. pi. 6. figs. 6, 6), 
and remarks on the species (p. 274). He claims (1. c. p. 274, note) that his 
sectional description of C. jocaste, taken in connexion with the locality, suf- 
ficiently characterizes the species, and that Felder’s C. achannenes must be 
placed as a synonym. This, however, is a fallacy, as Butler’s specimens came 
from Senegal, and Felder’s from Natal. 
W. Saunders (Canad. Entom. i.) describes the larvae of the following 
Nymphalidce : — Argynnis myrina, p. 55 ; Vanessa antiopa, p. 76 ; V. milherti.
