53, pi. XX, fig. 2. 



There is but one example of this s|)ecies, a male, iu the collection. 

 It does not differ in the least from examples taken upon the western 

 coast of Africa. 



Genus AMAURIS, Hubner. 



AMAURIS DOMINICANUS, Trimen. 



/'aiiais ninvius (LiNN.EUS), var., Trimex, Trans. Linn. Soc, XXVI, pp. 511,521,

 Amauris dotnin'icauns, Tri.men, Trans. J]nt. Soc. Lond., 1879, p. 323; .Sontli 



African Butterflies, I, p. 61 (1887). 



There are two specimens of this species, both males, and both rather 

 smaller than typical examples from Xatal, otherwise not difleriug at all. 

 There is no ckie to the exact locality from which the specimens came, 

 but Gerstsecker ^ gives Mombasa as one of the localities of the species, 

 and it is therefore probable that they were taken somewhere in the hot 

 lowlands. The genus is best represented in the hottest parts of trojjical 

 West Africa.

Genus MELANITIS, Fabricius. 



MELANITIS LEDA, Linnaeus, var. SOLANDRA, Fabricius.

 Pnpilio solatnh-a, Fahricius, Syst. Ent., i>. 500, Xo. 244 (1775). 



Two specimens, in nothing differing from examples taken upon the 

 Congo and the Ogove. 



Genus MYCALESIS, Hubner. 

 MYCALESIS SAFITZA, Hewitson. 



Mycalesis safitza, Hewitsox, Gen. Diurn. Lep., ]). 394, n. 10, pi. LXVi, fig. 3 

 (1851); Exot. Butt., Ill, p. 80, pi. XL, fig. 4 (1862).— Trimen, S. African 

 Butt., I, p. 105.

 13, and Peter's Reise n. Mossarab., Ins., p. 393, pi. xxv, figs. 3, 4. 



There is one example of the male of this species closely agreeing 

 with Hoi^tter's description and figure of M. eusirns., the proofs of the 

 identity of which with .1/, safitza, ITewitson, Mr. Trimen has most 

 forcibly presented in his recent work upon the South African butter- 

 flies.
