Show 670 MR. A. G. B U T L E R O N [Dec. 14, Ergolis ariadne is probably the E. coryta of Wallace's paper, Pamphila sunias his P. meesa; therefore I have not included these. The number of species of Butterflies now known from Formosa is 80. HETEROCERA. SPHINGID.E. 31. MACROGLOSSA NIGRIFASCIATA. Macroglossa nigrifasciata, Butler, P.Z.S. 1875, p.241,pl.xxxviii. fig. 3. One male. 32. CHCEROCAMPA ALECTO. Sphinx alecto, Linnaeus, Mus. Lud. Ulr. p. 357 (1764). Four specimens. 33. CHCEROCAMPA THEYLIA. Sphinx theylia, Linnseus, Mus. Lud. Ulr. p. 360 (1764). Five specimens. 34. CHCEROCAMPA OLDENLANDLE. Sphinx oldenlandiee, Fabricius, Sp. Ins. ii. p. 148 (1781). One female. 35. PROTOPARCE ORIENTALIS. Protoparce orientalis, Butler, Trans. Zool. Soc. vol. ix. p. 609 (1876). Six specimens. ZYGcENIDcE. 36. E U C H R O M I A FBATERNA. Euchromia fraterna, Butler, Journ. Linn. Soc. vol. xii. p. 364 (1876). One example of this beautiful species. I find, by comparing it with other specimens, that my original description omitted one important character-the first black belt on the primaries, which is broad and continuous in E. polymena and E. orientalis, being here represented by two black conical dots below the median vein. The sixth segment of the abdomen is often wholly scarlet, as in E. orientalis, such being the case in the Formosan example before me. ARCTIIDcE. 37. PELOCHYTA RHODOPA. Amerila rhodopa, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. Suppl. i. p. 305 (1864). One specimen. 38. PHISSAMA TRANSIENS. Spilosoma transiens, Walker, Cat. Lep. Het. iii. p. 675 (1855). One worn female. |
