f. 153, is another well-marked species from S.Africa, abundant in

Tragocephala variegata, Bertolom., Ann. Sc. Nat. 1845, 

 p. 423. S. Africa (Inhambere). 



Tragocephala Galathea, Chevr., Rev. et Mag. de Zool. 1855, 

 p. 184, was procured by the Scottish missionaries at Benin, Old 

 Calabar. 



The Tragocephala angolator and T. Lucia, described by 

 Olivier and Newman, belong likewise to this genus, but are aberrant 

 forms, as is the Tragocephala trifasciella, described and figured 

 in the illustrated Proceedings for 1850. The latter diifers somewhat 

 from Tragocephala proper, while Lamia angolator^ from its short 

 wide thorax, &c., may hereafter constitute the type of a distinct 

 section : all three are in the Museum Collection. 



In the Museum Collection are some undescribed species, which 

 may be characterized as 



Tragocephala comitessa.
