JAMAICA—BUTTEEFL1ES 287 
remark must be held to apply to several species of Terias , for they 
were not always distinguished in the field. 
A male was taken at Mackfield with a small symmetrical injury 
to each hind-wing. 
Terias westwoodii, Boisd. (The Jamaican form, (?) dina, Poey.) 
Three males, two females. Only met with at Montego Bay. It flies 
more freely and more strongly than the last. The Jamaican speci¬ 
mens are small and pale: the black on the hind-margin (especially 
in the female) is limited to the tip of the fore-wing. 
Terias messalina , Fabr., 10 d, 10 ?. Constant Spring, hotel 
grounds and wood to H.E., Mackfield (common), Montego Bay, 
Spanish Town, Port Antonio. It looks larger than euterpe when on 
the wing. 
Terias delia, Cram., 16 14 ?. Widely distributed, but not so 
common as enterpe. Constant Spring (common), Castleton, Mande- 
ville, Mackfield, Montego Bay, Walderston, Port Antonio. 
A male taken above Constant Spring at about 1000 ft. elevation 
on January 1st; and another male taken near Chancery Hall, 
500 ft., on January 8th, approached the form lydia , Feld., in having 
the longitudinal black streak broader than usual. On the other hand, 
another male taken somewhat below the first-named and on the same 
day has no black streak at all, merely the streak of orange. 
Terias elathea , Cram., 3 <£, 1 ?. Scarce. Constant Spring, 
Montego Bay, Port Antonio (Shotover Hill). 
This butterfly appears to be specifically distinct from delia , Cram., 
but is certainly very closely allied to it. The females are difficult 
to distinguish, and some specimens of the male sex not easy. In 
two males from Venezuela one has the black streak obsolescent, in 
the other entirely absent with indeed very little orange. 
Pieris (Perrhybris) phileta, Fabr. ( monuste , Hubn. et and ., nee Linn.), 
4 <£, 1 ?. Only seen at Montego Bay, and at Contrivance, Walderston. 
The flight of this butterfly is sometimes extremely swift, and it 
exercised my active Portuguese servant and myself very severely to 
secure three specimens near the shore of Montego Bay. 1 Sometimes 
it may be taken at the flowers of Eupatorium odoratum , Linn. During 
life the clubs of the antennae are of a beautiful turquoise blue. 
1 Mr. P. A. Buxton found P. phileta in great profusion about Kingston and 
Mandeville, April 19th-28rd, 1909, but found it easy to catch, as its flight was then 
not much faster than that of Ganoris napi in England. He noticed the clubs of its 
antennae, but says that they were bright green with a tinge of blue. If I was correct 
in describing them as turquoise-blue they must have faded—just as the stone does.
