OF BRITISH HONDURAS


70. ADELPHA CELERIO (Bates).
 Only recorded from the Western District. As
its name implies, it is very rapid on the wing.
71. ADELPHA SALMONEUS (Butl).
 Only a few specimens taken in the Western
District.
72. ADELPHA LERNA (Hew).
 Only taken in the Western District, where it is
uncommon.
73. ADELPHA FALCATA (G. and S.).
 The Western District is the only locality that
I have recorded for this species.
74. ADELPHA BASILOIDES (Bates).
 This butterfly also I have only taken in the west.
 The flight of all these Adelphas is very graceful,
alternately flapping and then soaring with ex-
panded wings, after the manner of the English
" Red Admiral butterfly.
 They are a very interesting group of butterflies,
and it will be noticed that they are particularly
at home in the Western District.
 It may possibly be because I have done more
collecting there than in any of the other districts,
but notwithstanding this I have noted the entire
absence of this class of butterfly in the two
northern districts.
