S. 1884, p. 319. St. Vincent; St. George's, Granville, and St. John's River, Grenada. 36. CALPODES COSCINIA (H.-S.). Goniurus coscinia, Herr.-Sch. Corresp.-Blatt. Regensb. xix. p. 54. "St Vincent, near Barronallie, 500 feet, open lands, Jan. 13; St. George's, Mount Gay Estate, and Chautilly Estate, Grenada." 37. PBENES EUGEON, sp. n. P. panoquin, Scudder, affinis sed minor, alis magis ochraceis; anticis minus elongatis, macula hgalina inter ramos medianos fere rotunda, minime sagittiformi : subtus ochraceonbus. Hab. Union I., Grenadines ; Granville and St. George's, Grenada. M Mabille, to whom we sent a specimen of this species, writes to say that it is near to the insect he described as Pamphila parilis, which again appears to be close to P. panoquin. So far as we can see, tbe differences pointed out above distinguish it from both these forms. Mr. Smith captured one of his specimens on the sea-shore about a mile from St. George's on 19th October. 38. HYLEPHILA PHYLiEUS, Drury. Pamphila phglceus, Godm. & Salv. P. Z. S. 1884, p. 319. "St. Vincent, on flowers, open land near Barronallie, 500 feet"; St. George's, Granville, and Mount Gay Estate, Grenada. 39. HYLEPHILA DICTYNNA, sp. n. Alis rufescenti-fulvis nigro extrorsum marginatis, ciliis fulvis; anticis stigmate obliquo nigerrimo leviter arcuato, ultra lineola incerta nigra ad cellulce finem: subtus rufescenti-fere unicoloribus, anticis plaga basali et macula ad unguium analem nigris ; palpis et pectore ochraceis. Hab. St. Vincent, common in open places up to 2000 teet; St. George's, Balthazar, Grenada. Many specimens, all males. H. vibex seems to be the most nearly allied species and has tbe alar brand similarly shaped; but the colour and the absence of spots on the secondaries beneath at once distinguish it. |
