APPENDIX 11. 



ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 



VOL. I. 



Preface, p. vii. — Under " II. Other African Kegions. A. South Tropical," 

 was accidentally omitted, after " ai. Western Interior," — 



6. Eastern Coast, hb. Islands, hi. Eastern Interior. 



Rhopalocera, p. 27, line 4.^ 



Besides Parnassiiis, three other genera of Papilionince, viz., the East- 

 Siberian LueJidorjia, the Australian Eur yens, and the South- American Euryades, 

 present the horny abdominal pouch in the ? . As mentioned above (vol. iii. 

 p. 192, note), there is good evidence to show that, in the case of Parnassiiis^ 

 this appendage is a temporary one, resulting from the hardening of a fluid 

 substance yielded by the $ during coition. 



Rhopalocera, p. 30, note 2. 



Dr. A. Speyer {Stett. Ent. Zeit., 1878, p. 168) mentions the peculiar atti- 

 tude of the Hesperide Thanaos Tages when quite at rest, and states that Zeller 

 had long before {Isis, 1847, P- 288) noticed it both in Tages and in newly- 

 emerged II. [Pyrgus) Maharum, Ochs. 



Rhopalocera, p. 39, Hue 1. 



The Abyssinian representative of Papilio Merope is P. Antinorii, Oberthiir 

 {Ann. Mus. Stor. Nat Genova, xv. p. 131, pi. ix. f. 4 5). 



I have recently received from my kind friend and correspondent, M. Ober- 

 thiir, a pair of another most interesting and distinct species of the Merope 

 group, viz., P. Hiimhloii, Oberth., discovered in the island of Grand Comoro. 

 In this species the sexes resemble each other even more closely than in Meriones, 

 Feld., of INIadagascar, the ^ having along the costa of the fore-wings a mode- 

 rately wide black bar in the same position as the broader one of the $ ; while 

 the hind-wings in both sexes (in complete distinction from all other forms of 

 the group) present a broad, unbroken, inwardly deeply dontated, black hind- 

 marginal border {not a discal band). The tail is short and black, and in the 

 $ has a narrow yellowish edge quite at the tip. 



> This correction applies also to my remark on the subject under the Sub-Family 

 Acrceince, p. 129, line 30.
