NOTES ON THE BUTTERFLIES


 I have not seen any member of the Catagramma
family in the northern districts, and I doubt very
much if they ever occur there. They are all
woodland butterflies and love to fly in roads
dappled with sun and shadow. They have a
graceful sailing flight.
66. CALLICORE ASTALA (Guer).
 I have taken this insect sparingly in the Western
District. In Guatemala, on the Atlantic and
Pacific sides, it is exceedingly common.
67. DYNAMINE MYLITTA (Cram).
 Taken in the west, flying around hedges
bordering roads. It loves to bask in the hot
sunshine.
68. ADELPHA CYTHERIA (Linn).
 This is the commonest member of the Adelpha
family, and is frequently seen in sunny country
roads visiting flowers or resting on leaves of bushes
by the roadside.
 I have not observed this butterfly in the
north although in the south and west it is quite
common.
69. ADELPHA IPHICLA (Linn).
 This insect I have only taken in the Western
District. In common with other members of
its class it frequents shady roads and forest
glades.
