directly onward ; and the outer submarginal streak is much fainter and 

 far more regular in its dentation. 



The single specimen of $ Coranus is no larger than a full -sized $ 

 of the Var. A. of Alcimcda : the features in which it differs from the 

 latter and approximates the $ Cccnis are, on the ujiper side, (i) the 

 absence of the disco-cellular white transverse mark in the fore-win ss. 

 and (2) the greater development of the subcostal white bar beyond the 

 cell ; (3) the greater width of the discal white band on inner margin 

 of the fore-wings, and (4) the absence in both wings of the orange 

 hind-marginal spots; while, on the under side, (5) it has none of the 

 ferruginous tint, but is of a grey even paler than in Cccnis, and (6) has 

 .he white band much wider and outwardly very vaguely defined. The 

 characters in which it approaclies the $ Alcimeda Var, are its small 

 size and the shortness and comparative bluntness of the indistinct 

 black submarginal spots of the upper side, which, although hastate, are 

 only about half as long, and not nearly so acute, as in Ccenis. 



This is the insect mentioned in the text (p. 312) as taken by 

 Colonel Bowker in Natal. I hesitated to describe it from a solitary 

 and imperfect $ example ; but having since received a perfect $ and a 

 passable $ from Zululand (where they were taken by Captain A. M. 

 Goodrich, of the Eoyal Inniskilling Tusiliers), I am now able to give 

 its distinctive characters. Colonel Bowker's specimen was captured at 

 Pinetown in June 1883 ; in sending it to me, he remarked on its large 

 size and other differences from Alcimeda, and noted that it had the 

 same flight and habits as the latter. Captain Goodrich took his speci- 

 mens at Etshowe, — the $ in November 1886, and the $ in April 1887; 

 lie informed me that there was nothing noticeable in their behaviour 

 to distinguish them from E. Alcimeda, Var. A., which occurred in the 

 same locality.
