[Footnote 92: _Nature_, vol. iii. p. 165. Professor Meldola observed
that specimens of Danais and Euplaea in collections were less subject to
the attacks of mites _(Proc. Ent. Soc._, 1877, p. xii.); and this was
corroborated by Mr. Jenner Weir. _Entomologist_, 1882, vol. xv. p. 160.]

always speak of the American genera under the old term Heliconidae.]
