NOTES ON THE BUTTERFLIES


5. LYMNAS PIXE (Bois).
 A pretty little butterfly which occurs rather
commonly in the Colony. I have records of it
from the Western and Southern Districts and also
from Corozal.
6. LYMNAS IARBAS (Fabr).
 This appears to be not so common as the
preceding. I have found it in the Western
District.
 Both these species of Lymnas look and fly rather
like moths. Before I was acquainted with them
I took them to be day-flying moths. They only
fly short distances and then settle on the underside
of leaves. They are found at the edges of forests.
7. ANCYLURIS INCA (Saunders).
 Found in forest lands, but far from common.
I have never observed it in the northern districts,
and I do not believe that it is to be found there.
 The insect always flies low close to the herbage
in the west and also at Punta Gorda in the
south.
8. ANCYLURIS JURGENSENI (Saunders).
 This butterfly I only know from a few specimens
taken close to Punta Gorda in the south.
9. CHARIS VELUTINA (G. and S.).
 Rarely taken at San Pedro Sarstoon.
