In Coll. H. J. Adams, 15 S S (type); F. D. Godman, 2 o* o* • Allied to T. angelia Hew. from Cuba, but the smaller amount of copper-colour above and the dark line of hind wings below being partially edged with red at once serve to distinguish it from that species. THECLA ACIS. Papilio acis D m . 111. Ex. Ent. i. pi. 1. f. 2. A single specimen in Mr. Kaye's collection. TERIAS DEVA. Tericts deva Doubld. Gen. D. L. p. 78; G. k S. P. Z. S. 1884. p. 317. A long series of this species was obtained. The hind wing in both sexes is much more }7ellow than in specimens from the mainland. PlERIS MARGARITA. Mylothris mctrgarita Hiibn. Samml, ex. Schmett. ii. pi. cxx. Four specimens. CALLIDRYAS AGARITHE. C. agarithe Boisd. Spec. Gen. i. p. 623. Messrs. Godman and Salvin received this species but wrongly identified it, recording it under the name of argante Fabr. All the specimens received are small, as in the case of those taken by Mr. Angas. EUDAMUS BREVIC'AUDATA, sp. nov. I have given a name to this form, which Messrs, Godman and Salvin treated as Santiago Luc. ? I have had a large number of specimens, and find that the differences these authors point out are quite constant. PROTEIDES GUNDLACHI. P. gundlachi Plotz, Stett, ent, Zeit, 1882. p. 91. The species described as P. angctsi, sp. nov., in the paper of 1884 by Messi-s. Godman and Salvin is synonymous with this. EPARGYREUS ZESTOS. Proteides zestos Hiibn. Samml. ex. Schmett. p. 24. A good series. 30* |
