PAPILIONIN.E. 219 



$ Like $, but the hind-wing usually with a rather broader black- 

 outer field, and the ochre-}'ello\v spot at anal angle well marked or 

 even conspicuous. Undkii side. — Ilind-ivinrj : red streak along sub- 

 median nervure obscured by blackish from near base ; a moderately 

 wide white border between this streak and inner margin, which has 

 itself a well-marked black edging. 



I am indebted to ]\Ir. W. L. Distant for a tracing of Bertoloni's 

 insect and some notes on its special characters, which enabled me to 

 decide on keeping Coriiineus distinct from botli Pylades, Fab., and 

 i)/c»ra;n'<^, Angas, and identifying it with the An.tlicmcnes of Wallengren. 

 In outline the wings of Curinncm differ from those of Pijlachs, the 

 fore-wings being less produced apically, and the liind-wiiigs less so 

 inferiorly, besides being much less prominently dentated at extremity 

 of iiervules. In pattern Corinncus differs very markedly in the fore- 

 wings by the limitation of the large white patch, which does not rise 

 above the median nervure and its second branch, whereas in Pylades 

 it encroaches considerably on the discoidal cell, is continent with the 

 second and third cidlular spots, and also includes the much-enlarged 

 sixth spot in the discal series ; the outward projection of the patch 

 between first and second median nervules is also much stronger in 

 Corinncus. The head in front is white with a median black stripe, 

 instead of black with two large white spots, as in Pylades ; and on the 

 under side of the abdomen the median black streak is a character 

 wdioUy wanting in Pylades, and the transverse black streaks on its 

 segmented incisions are scarcely indicated in the latter species. In 

 the black-filled discoidal cell and space between third and second 

 median nervules, and in the black abdominal markings, Corinneus 

 approaches Morania, but in all other respects is closer to Pylades} 



Tlie range of Corinneus is found to differ considerably from that of Pylades, 

 for -while the latter prevails on the Western Coast of North Tropical Africa, 

 the former seems limited to regions (both east and west) to the south of the 

 Equator, and extends to the coast of Natal. At Delagoa Bay it appears to be 

 common, in company with the strictly Southern allied species Morania, but 

 farther southward seems to be scarce. In February 1867 I captured a $ at 

 Verulam, and Colonel Bowker sent another from Pinetown in 1884, wliile 

 two specimens occurred in the collection of Natalian insects formed by my 

 colleague for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1886. On the confines 

 of the tropic it is evidently a frequent form, many specimens from the tracts 

 between the Transvaal and Zambesi having reached me from Mr. F. W. and 

 Mr. II. Barber, Mr. F. C. Selous, and Mr. Eriksson.

^ From the particulars given by Dewitz [Nov. Act. Leop.-Carol. -Dcutscli. Akad. Naturf., 

 xli. pp. 187 and 209, 1879), it is quite clear that the specimens from Angola (/"or/i/^) and 

 Chinchoxo {Fallanstcin), recorded as Pifadcs, are referable to Corinncus,
