oil liincl-maro-in about or rather below first median nervule), and in- 

 wardly by a dull-brownisli bar, broader and shorter than the black 

 one in the ^, and ending on lower radial nei'vule ; a small fuscous 

 terminal disco-cellular spot ; blackish irroration limited to costa and 

 discoidal cell. Under side. — llind-u-iiKj, and hasi-costal and apical 

 Jdnd-marginal areas of forc-ioiiuj , very pcdc straiv-yelloiu ; in both wings 

 a fuscous terminal disco-cellular spot, larger in hind-wing. 



In a ^ from the Lydenburg l^istrict of the Transvaal the under 

 side of the hind- wings and apex of fore-wings is tinted with pale 

 creamy-pinkish. A $ taken on the Limpopo by Mr. Selous exhibits 

 on the upper side of the hind-wings a very faint small fuscous mark 

 on the costa beyond the middle. 



Among the drawings of some of Wallengren's types, kindly pro- 

 cured for me by Mr. Chr. Aurivillius, was a careful figure of the ^ 

 Agoye, thoroughly agreeing with the former's description (Joe. cit.). 

 The species is a very distinct one, easily recognised by the small size 

 and peculiar ochreous-orange tint of the apical patch, to which in the 

 $ are added the fine black neuration and irroration in both fore and 

 hind wings. 



This is a rare butterfly in collections, and was for many years known 

 to me only by a series of seventeen specimens (only one $ ) brought from 

 Damaraland by Mr. J. A. Bell, and by two or tliree other examples from the 

 same country in the collection of the late Mr. C. J. Andersson. These examples 

 had been pressed flat in a book, and did not properly exhibit all the characters 

 of the species; but I have recently (in 1883 and 1885) received in good order 

 a few individuals of both sexes from the North- West Transvaal and farther 

 northward, from which the above description has been made. 



I have no particulars as to the habits of Agoye, or as to its special stations. 

 In geographical range, though known to occur from Damaraland on the west 

 to the Lydenburg District on the east, it seems to be very restricted in lati- 

 tude, — its place south of the 26th parallel being apparently taken by the 

 nearly allied Boxokeri, milii.
