“Mr. Hewitson’s beautiful work on Exotic Butterflies is continued with regularity. 
Four numbers have appeared during the year. In this work there is a truthfulness of 
outline, an exquisite delicacy of pencilling, a brilliancy and transparency of colouring 
that has rarely been equalled and probably never surpassed.” 
The President in his Address to the Entomological Society, 1856. 
“ These illustrations are elegant and true to nature.” 
Dr. Gerstaecker, Bericht uber Entomologie, 1854 
“ Mr. Hewitson’s c Exotic Butterflies ’ has been continued in five new parts, remarkable, 
like the former, for fidelity of illustration and sterling quality of text. 
“ It deserves praise as being particularly judicious, that the author presents side by side 
a great number of closely allied species from difficult genera, as in this case for instance he 
does with the genera Ithomia and Catagramma.” 
Dr. Gerstaecker, Bericht uber Entomologie, 1855.
