CHAPTER IV


 FAMILY SATYRIDZE
Genus:
I. PIERELLA HERACLES (Bois).
 When this insect flies it is only for a short
distance and then it drops to the ground where,
among dead leaves and herbage, it becomes
invisible. I have taken it only occasionally in
the Western District and also at San Pedro
Sarstoon and Punta Gorda in the south. It
is never found elsewhere than in the dense
forest.
2. TAYGETIS ANDROMEDA (Cram).
 This insect I have captured in the Western
District.
 Like other members of this genus it only appears
on the wing about sundown, but it may be dis-
turbed from its resting place in the daytime when
forcing one's way through the bushes.
3. TAYGETIS KERIA (Butl).
 This is a small member of the genus. I
have found it rather commonly in the Western
District.
