NOTES ON THE BUTTERFLIES


remarked when speaking of the two preceding
insects. In fact this is a characteristic more or
less of the entire Hesperid family.
 When this insect comes to rest I have noticed
that it invariably selects the underside of a leaf
with its wings extended.
5. EUDAMUS DORANTES (Stoll).
 This is one of the Hesperids with long tails to
the hind wings.
 It is a dull coloured insect found abundantly
through the Colony.
6. EUDAMUS DORYSSUS (Swainson).
 This also is a tailed Hesperid which I have taken
in the west.
7. EPARGYREUS EXADENS (Cram).
 I have taken this insect at San Pedro on the
Sarstoon River.
8. PROTEIDES IDAS (Cram).
 A common insect throughout the Colony, and
it is especially attracted to moist or muddy
patches of road or wet sand at the edges of rivers.
It occurs almost the year round but most abun-
dantly in July.
9. ACOLASTUS AMYNTAS (Fabr).
 I have taken this insect commonly in the
Western District.
