PELEUS. 1. Gentius. 2. Æacus
PELEUS Æacus.
Family Hesperidæ.
Generic Character.
Antennæ not hooked, the club formed into a long, slender, fuciform arch. Wings with both surfaces alike, horizontally divaricated when at rest; posterior rounded, entire; broader from the base to the anal angle, than to the exterior margin.
Type. Hesp. Peleus. Fab.
Specific Character.
Wings deep brownish black; anterior with a redish transverse band, united to a spot of the same, and tipt with a sub-hyaline band of redish orange.
Hesp. Peleus. Fab. Cramer, pl. 284, f. F.
Entomologists, from being acquainted only with the habits of the European species of this family, represent the Hesperidæ as resting with only the hinder wings elevated: This is altogether a mistake. Some groups, indeed, assume this position when basking in the sun, or taking food; but even these, when fairly at rest, erect their wings in the ordinary manner: a fact we have repeatedly witnessed. Not so, however, with the group we now illustrate: and which is peculiar to South America. These insects rest with all the four wings expanded; and hide themselves during the meridian heat, on the under side of broad leaves, in the deep forests. From never appearing exposed, this species long escaped our search, but having once discovered this singular part of its economy, we captured it in abundance. It probably feeds, like many of the Sphingides, or Hawk Moths, in the morning and evening, but its haunts were too far from our habitation, to allow of ascertaining this point.
PELEUS Gentius.
Anterior wings black, with three yellow bars, posterior yellow, with a simple black border.
Hesp. Gentius. Fab. Cramer, pl. 179, f. C.
Our specimens of this very rare insect were captured by Dr. Langsdorff, in the interior of Southern Brazil, the colours of the under surface of the wings are the same as those of the upper.

PIERIS Nigrina.
PIERIS Nigrina.
Pieris (pars.) Latr: Stev. Pontia (pars.) Fab. Horsf.
Generic Character.
Antennæ with a spatulate, considerably compressed, obovate club. Palpi hairy: the first joint with basal articulations, (Horsf. pl. 4. f. 10) beyond which it is hardly longer than the second, or the third, which are each of equal length. Anterior Wings with the exterior margin manifestly shorter than the posterior.
Type. Pieris Belisama. Lat.
Specific Character.
Wings above white in one sex, grey in the other; anterior tipt with black; beneath black, with a terminal band of yellow: posterior wings beneath black, varied with grey, and marked with an undulated, nearly central, border of crimson.
Pieris Nigrina. Fab. Sys. Ent. 475. Ent. Sys. 3. 1. 20. Ency. Meth. p. 149. Don. Ins. of New Holl. 19. f. 1.
Although this elegantly marked insect has long been known to Entomologists, we believe it has only once been figured. It is not uncommon in Australia, and being a typical species, we select it to illustrate this group.
The Butterflies called Whites, in the common language of Collectors, (Pieris, Lat.) are distinguished by their great simplicity of colouring, and a predominence of white upon their wings. It is a singular fact, that the various species of this family, among which are included the different white Butterflies of Europe; feed chiefly on such plants as are nourishing and salutary to the human body, such as the various sorts of cabbages, coleworts, turnips, &c., and in every foreign country where these white Butterflies have been found, plants of the same nutricious qualities, are sure to be discovered in the vicinity of their haunts.
The group to which we here restrict the name of Pieris, is confined, we believe, exclusively to the old world, and principally to intertropical latitudes. We have been much embarassed, however, in applying this name correctly. Dr. Horsfield has placed many of our Indian Pieres under the genus Pontia, which group is restricted by Mr. Stephens to European insects. As this latter disposition is more in unison with our own views, we have adapted it; considering P. Cratægi to be the only aberrant representative of Pieris in Europe.

Much interest has recently been excited among British entomologists regarding this butterfly. Some are of opinion that it is not a native of Britain, while others, with a strong shew of reason, contend that it is truly indiginous. The specimens in the British collection formed by our lamented parent, and now in our possession, having been alluded to by both parties, we have been induced to represent them, and to throw some light upon their history.
So anxiously did our honored father preserve his cabinet, free from exotic specimens, that knowingly, he never admitted one, even as a temporary substitute for a native example. Yet living, in his early days, in constant intercourse with the famous Dutchess of Portland, Dr. Lightfoot, and Mr. Lewin, he received, from these sources, some few insects, which were placed in his cabinet, under the assurance that they were British. Among these are Pap. Podalirius, Daplidice, and the two specimens of the alleged Europome here figured: the latter being mistaken, and intermixed, with three examples of the true Hyale. On the other hand, it is incumbent upon us to say, that both these have been mended, before coming into our father's possession, by the heads and antennae of Gonepteryx Rhamni! We must also state, that upon closely comparing them with a series of E. Philodice, we have failed to discover what appears to us a true specific distinction. The same unsuccess has attended our efforts to detach Chrysotheme from Edusa, of which latter we possess specimens from Germany, Genoa, Sicily, Greece, Africa, and several others unlabelled, all varying more or less from each other, and from British examples.

MALACONOTUS Barbarus. Barbary Shrike.
MALACONOTUS Barbarus.
Barbary, or yellow-crowned Shrike.
Family Laniadæ. Sub-family Thamnophilinæ. Nob.
Generic Character.
Swains. in Zool. Journ. 3. p. 163.
Specific Character.
Above glossy black, beneath crimson; crown fulvous yellow: vent and flanks buff.
Lanius barbarus. Linn. Icon. Pl. Enl. 56.
Laniarius barbarus. Ency. Meth. Orn. p. 755.
Le Gonolek. Le Vaill. Ois. d'Af. pl. 69.
The true Shrikes, of which two, if not three species inhabit England, are bold and cruel birds: they attack others, scarcely smaller than themselves, and seize them like a Falcon, by their talons during flight. The Bush Shrikes on the other hand, are a more ignoble race; they only prowl after young or sickly birds, and seek their principal nourishment from those insects which shelter in foliage. These birds form two distinct groups, confined to the tropical latitudes of the Old and the New World. The first, Thamnophilus, is restricted to America, and the species are known by their dark coloured plumage. Malaconotus, is, we believe, purely an African group, while most of the typical species, like the present, are cloathed in bright and beautiful colours.
This elegant bird seems to be abundant in Western Africa, but is rare towards the Cape of Good Hope. Hence Le Vaillant had no opportunity of learning its peculiar manners. Its size is that of a Thrush; the feathers on the back are very long, and the first joint of the outer toe is free. Nature, ever prone to typify her relations, and to preserve harmony between groups, essentially distinct, has given to the bill of this bird, a form closely resembling that of Pitta; the genus by which Malaconotus is represented among the Thrushes.
A partial consideration of this group induced us, some years ago, to adopt the generic name of Laniarius; but in a more recent investigation of the species so denominated, we have failed to discover sufficient reason for separating them, generically, from Malaconotus.

DONACOBIUS vociferans. Babbling Thrush.
DONACOBIUS vociferans.
Babbling Thrush.
Family Merulidæ. Sub-family Macropodianæ. Nob.
Characters.
Bill arched from the base, moderate, and generally entire; wings very short: tail broad, rounded. Feet and toes of great strength and size; plumage lax, and soft. Nobis.
Gracula (pars.) Cuv. Pomatorhinus. Horsf. Tem. (pars.) Pitta. (p.) Opetiorhynchus. Ixos. (p.) Malurus (p.) Tem. Timalia. Megalurus. Horsf. Dasyornis. Phosphodes. Vig.
Generic Character.
Bill slender, moderate, the upper mandible notched; nostrils naked, membranaceous, the aperture terminal.
Specific Character.
Above blackish brown, beneath fulvous yellow; sides of the body lineated with black lines, base of the quills and tips of the laternal tail feathers pure white, sides of the neck, with a naked space.
Gracula longirostris? Auct.
It is seldom that the notes of the feathered race are absolutely disagreeable, but we never remember to have heard a bird with a voice of such astounding discord, as that now before us. Its particular note, if note it could be called, we do not now recollect; but it was so shrill, grating, and monotonous, that we have frequently rushed out of the house, to drive away the babbling disturbers. This happened at the hospitable residence of our friend Mr. Pinches, of Pernambucco, whose house was close to a small swamp, overgrown with reeds, among which these birds delight to dwell; and which in fact, they never quit. Clinging to the smooth stems by their strong feet and acute claws, they were incessantly uttering discord with the most provoking perseverance: all the time moving their body from one side to the other, spreading out their tail, and straining their throats, in the most grotesque way imaginable. On each side of the neck, is a long space of bare skin of a deep yellow colour: they live in pairs, and build a pensile nest among the reeds: their flight is very slow and feeble.

MURICINÆ. Pl. 2. Murex erythrostomus.
MUREX erythrostomus.
Pink-mouthed Murex.
Family Buccinidæ. Sub-family Muricinæ. Nob.
Specific Character.
(Type 1.) Shell spinous: varices between the two lips four; armed with conic, generally pointed spines, the upper and lower of which are vaulted; colour reddish white, articulated with brown: false varices intermediate; aperture rosey: inner lip smooth.
Messrs. Stuchbury obligingly forwarded us fine specimens of this lovely species, for comparison with M. Regius and Imperialis. In general habit it has a close affinity to the first, but is distinguished by intermediate false varices, which in that species are wanting; while the upper and lower spines are alone vaulted: from Imperialis our shell is further removed, by the varices being spinous, instead of nodulous; this latter character being seen only in the intermediate protuberances, and in the false varices.
We have already intimated our belief that Murex and Cassis represent two equivalent groups; and these, as containing several established genera, we shall consider as sub-families: giving them the usual termination of inæ. Those higher naturalists, who have long since abandoned the belief in absolute divisions and isolated genera, are fully aware that no groups are more likely to exhibit the arrangement of nature, than such as contain numerous species, under a great diversity of forms. The Murices are of this description, and appear to exhibit, among themselves, a circular series. Triton and Murex also seem typical genera, and of equal value. Ranella obviously belongs to the first; yet, as it is merely a subordinate type of form, we cannot, under this belief, retain it as a genus, without a manifest inconsistency; unless, indeed, it is thought expedient to consider the types of form in Murex, as so many genera, and elevate three others in Triton to the same rank; a refinement in nomenclature, which we cannot think is in the least degree necessary.

EUTERPE Terea.
EUTERPE Terea.
Papilio. (pars.) Latrielle. Sub-family Pieresinæ. Nob.
Generic Character.
Antennæ lengthened, terminating in a broad, very compressed, spatulate club. Palpi hairy; the first joint very long, exceeding the united length of the two next: second joint half as long as the first; third very small, manifestly shorter than the second. Anterior wings long, papilioniform; the exterior margin longer than the posterior. Nob.
Specific Character.
Wings above black: anterior both above and below, with a trifid white or yellowish central spot: posterior with a four-parted rosey spot; and varigated beneath, at the base, with yellow and rosy stripes.
Papilio Terias. Latrielle & Godart. En. Meth. 1. p. 38. No. 39.
Nature has so completely disguised this Butterfly in the form and colours of a genuine Papilio, as to have deceived the first entomologist now in Europe, and his most skilful and accurate coadjutator. In the Ency. Methodique we find this species recorded as a Papilio; whereas it perfectly agrees, in all the details of its structure, with the characters proposed in that valuable work for the genus Pieris. Whether nature has employed this beautiful device to indicate the group which next succeeds in her series, or whether she has intended it to point out a strong analogy, are questions which, in our present imperfect knowledge of Lepidopterous groups, cannot be answered.
Of this group we possess several new and highly interesting species. It is worthy of remark, that they were all collected in one particular locality, and at the same season. This was during a short residence at Mandioca, the plantation of Dr. Langsdorff, among the woods at the base of the Organ mountains, near Rio de Janeiro.
We believe this group is restricted to tropical America, where it probably represents the genuine Pieres, (as defined at pl. 69,) of the Old World. The present species is subject to much variation in the size, proportion, and colour of its spots: the white is sometimes pale yellow, and the rosy becomes of a deeper and brighter hue.

MALACONOTUS atro-coccineus. Black & crimson Shrike.
MALACONOTUS atro-coccineus.
Burchell's Shrike.
Generic Character, &c. See Pl. 71.
Specific Character.
Black, beneath crimson: lesser wing covers banded with white, greater covers and lesser quills with a broad, white, longitudinal stripe.
Malaconotus atro-coccineus. Burchell, Zool. Journ. 1. p. 461. Pl. 18.
Mus. D. Burchell.
Among the few Ornithological subjects which that accomplished traveller, Mr. Burchell, has yet published from his vast collections of African Zoology, is the charming bird here figured. It was discovered near Litakoon, the principal town of the Bachapins, a nation never before known to Europeans. Its principal range is between lat. 27. 20. and 29. 10. S. on the meridian of 24. E. "To a traveller," continues our friend, "wandering through the airy groves of the Transgaripine, the sight of these Lanii, flying from branch to branch above his head, and displaying their fine colour in all its brilliancy, suddenly arrests his steps, and claims his admiration. Viewed in such a position, little of their black colour is seen, and they then appear to be entirely scarlet."
A most beautiful analogy may be traced between the two principal groups of the Bush Shrikes, and those of the Ant-thrushes. The genus Malaconotus corresponds to the Pittæ, in being restricted to the old world, in the vivid colours of their plumage, and the connexion, in the typical species, of the two outer toes. In Thamnophilus and Myothera, both American groups, the colours are uniformly dark; and their resemblance in structure is so close, that no author has yet pointed out their distinctions.

CONUS. Pl. 1. 1. fumigatus. 2. franciscanus.
CONUS fumigatus.
Family Strombidæ. Sub-family Conianæ.
Generic Character. See Lamarck.
Specific Character.
Shell smooth, spire very short, channeled, or with the whorls· concave: colour chesnut, belted with white, and articulated rows of chesnut dots.
Conus fumigatus Brug. Diet. 94. Lam. Syst. 7. 496.
Icones. Mart. 2 pl. 56. f. 618. Ency. Meth. pl. 336. f. 7.
A species not conspicuous for its beauty, but by no means of common occurrence: its close resemblance to the next has induced us to illustrate both by figures. C. fumigatus seldom exceeds the size here represented; it may at once be known from franciscanus (which is a much smaller shell,) by the spiral whorls being concave, instead of convex: this species occurs in the Indian Ocean.
If the student compares either Strombus Luhuanus, Mauritianus, or Persicus, with any of the wide mouthed Cones, he will immediately perceive the affinity between the two groups. In both, the operculum of the animal is small, but in Conus it seems reduced to a mere vestage; while the shell, nearly rolled upon its own axis, indicates the near approach which Nature has now made towards the Cowries; a family, however, essentially distinguished by the great developement of the mantle, and the total absence of an operculum.
CONUS franciscanus.
Shell smooth, chesnut, with two white bands, the upper one near the suture: spire short, the whorls convex.
C. franciscanus. Lam. Syst. 7. 493. Ency. Meth. 337. f. 5.
Lamarck mentions Africa and the shores of the Mediterranean, as the native locality of this shell. It escaped our researches on the coasts of Italy, Sicily, and Greece, and we suspect it to be an Oriental species.
# Weird Tales/Volume 2/Issue 3/Genoese Riviera Damaged by Waterspout

October issue
Genoese Riviera Damaged by Waterspout
A GIGANTIC waterspout struck the Genoese Riviera a short time ago, injuring many people and doing untold damage. Sestri, Pegli, Gornigliano and San Pier d'Arena were the principal places affected. The storm, which lasted nearly an hour, unroofed the Ansaldo Pig Iron Works at Pegli and many persons were injured by falling tiles. The damage to the Ansalado Depot at San Pier d’Arena was estimated at 100,000 lire and many victims of the storm were taken to hospitals. Electric power lines were torn down and bathing establishments and trees for a half mile along the coast were cut away. It is said that, at one point, a brick house was leveled to the ground.
