EUCHLOË CHARLONIA (Donzil).
Plate I.—Fig. 4.
This butterfly was seen near Orotava, 500 feet above the sea-level, during the first week in May by the author, who, however, was not fortunate enough to secure a specimen. Several specimens of this species, which is rare in the Canary Islands, have been netted in the island of Fuerteventura, and two of them have been presented by Mr. E. H. Hodges, of Rugby, to the British Museum, from which the illustration has been drawn. It measures in expanse about an inch and a half. The general colour is yellow, varying in intensity of shade in different specimens, with black apical markings on the fore wings and a long black patch on the centre of the upper margin. A full account of this interesting insect is to be found in Ann. Soc. Ent. Fr., 1842, p. 197, f. 1, but hitherto it has not been recognized in Teneriffe as a species belonging to the island. It is found in North and West Africa.
