OF BRITISH HONDURAS


7. APPIAS POEYI (Butl).
 This Pierid is a common butterfly and is fond
of settling on wet sandbanks and the margins of
mud pools and moist patches of ground.
 As usual it is only the males that are found
here. The females are rarely seen and are met
with in forest tracks and glades altogether away
from the localities which attract the males.
 Its time of appearance is the dry season, and
it is extremely rapid on the wing.
8. APPIAS DRUCILLA (Cram).
 I have been struck by the absence of this insect
at the usual feeding places of Appias poeyi. It
does not appear to care about moist sand or mud,
but rather to fly up and down woodland roads. Its
flight is much weaker than that of Poeyi, and as
usual the females are but rarely seen. I have taken
it in the Western and in the Southern Districts.
9. DAPTONOURA ISANDRA (Bois).
 I have notes of this insect from the Belize,
Corozal, and the western districts. It is extremely
local in its range but where it is found it is not
uncommon. The butterfly is fond of flying at a
considerable height from the ground and for that
reason one has often to wait until it comes down
within reach of the net.
 It is essentially a forest insect.
