LEPIDOPTERA. 
VANESSA SOPHIA. 
Plate XXXVI. fig. 3. 
Species. Vanessa Sophia : alis denticulatis, anticis subfalcatis, posticis rotundatis, omnibus 
supra fulvo, nigro, flavidoque variis, limbo fusco nigro punctata, lunulis posticarum 
albis. Expans. alar. unc. 1| — 2. 
Vanessa: with the wings denticulated, the anterior subfalcate, the posterior rounded 
above; all the wings are varied with fulvous, black, and buff, with a broad brown 
border with black spots, and with submarginal white lunules in the posterior wings. 
Expanse of the wings, 1| to 2 inches. 
Syn. Papilio (Satyrus) Sophia, Fabr. Ent. Syst. III. 1. p. 248. Enc. Meth. 9. 823. 
Fabricius described this species from the collection of Mr. Drury, and the draw- 
ings of Mr. Jones, with the habitat “ In Indiis.” In the Encyclopedic M6thodique, 
the western coast of Africa is stated to be its native country. 
NYMPHALIS AUGE. 
PI. XXXVI. fig. 4. 
Species. Nymphalis Auge: alis dentatis, fuscis ; anticis fasciis tribus viridibus ; posticis fulvis 
serie submarginali punctorum nigrorum. Expans. alar. unc. If. 
Nymphalis : with the wings dentated, brown; the anterior with three greenish fasciae, 
the posterior fulvous with a submarginal row of black spots. Expanse of the 
wings, 1| inch. 
Syn. Papilio (Satyrus) Auge, Fabr. Ent. Syst. III. 1. p. 248. Enc. Meth. 9. 387. 
This insect is also stated by Fabricius to have been in the collection of Mr. Drury, 
and figured by Mr. Jones, and the habitat is also given “ In Indiis.” From its near 
relationship, however, with N. Sophia and N. Doriclea, both of which are inhabitants 
of western tropical Africa, I have little doubt that N. Auge is from that quarter of the 
globe, and not from either of the Indies. 
NYMPHALIS PERIANDER. 
Plate XXXVII. fig. 1. 
Species. Nymphalis Periander: alis utrinque albis, strigis sex flavescentibus, margine 
postico fusco albo strigoso ; posticis caudatis. Expans. alar. unc. If.
