 Should the two prove to be the same species, Druce's name will have 

 priority. Mabille's insect is recorded as a native of Congo ; his de- 

 scriptions above cited apply well to the South-African specimens I 

 have seen. 



Mr. H. Grose Smith made this butterfly known to me by a coloured draw- 

 ing of a Delagoa Bay specimen which he forwarded in 1884, and I subsequently 

 examined a pair from that locality in his fine collection. In February 1S85 I 

 received a fine (J captured on the 14th of that month by Colonel Bowker at 

 Northdene near D'Urban, Natal, and in May 1887 two $s arrived from the 

 same neighbourhood, also just taken by my colleague. The first of these was 

 secured at garden flowers in the evening in company with KeWdoa. Colonel 

 Bowker has met with no other examples, and Mr. A. D. Millar writes that 

 only one has come under his notice.
