394 SOUTH-AFEICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



Rhopalocera, p. 40, note i. 



Terias Hecahe should be withdrawn from the list of species extending 

 be3'ond the African Eegion, as I think the South- African representative distinct, 

 and have named it T. Butleri. (See vol. iii. p. 23.) On the other hand, 

 Lycoena Telicanus is to be added to this list, so that the number, tliirteen, 

 remains unaltered.

I overlooked a third African species, viz., D. formosa, Godman (Proc. Zool. 

 Soc. LoJid., 1880, p. 183, pi. xix. f. i), brought from the mainland opposite 

 Zanzibar by Mr. J. T. Last. It is related to the variety of D. Limniace, men- 

 tioned in the text, but has the singular feature of a large rufous-ochreous basal 

 patch occupying nearly half the area of the fore-wings, while in tlie hind-wings 

 the basal third is whitish crossed by strongly black- clouded nervures. 



It is most interesting to find that this remarkable Danais, which combines 

 to some extent the coloration of the Limniace and CJinjsij^j^ns groups, is un- 

 questionably mimicked (as M. Oberthiir has pointed out in A7i7i. Soc. Ent. de 

 France, 1886, p. cxiv.) by the larger Papilio Rex, Oberth. {loc. cit., and Etudes 

 d^Ent., liv. 12, pi. i. f. 2, 1888), which inhabits the same part of East Africa, 

 and is a very isolated form, recalling both P. Antimaclius and P. Antenor, but 

 not nearly related to either. 



Danais Chrysippus, p. 54? line 10 from bottom of page. 



Mr. Meldola {Anji. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 5th Ser., i. p. 158, 1878) notes 

 the significant fact that in Australia, where D. Chrysippus does not occur, the 

 $ of Argynnis Niphe (var. inconstans) is like the ^. 



Amauris Echcria, p. 59, line 21. 



Plotz (Stett. Ent. Zeit., xli. p. 189, 1880) notes five examples taken at 

 Victoria, on the mainland, just opposite Fernando Po, by Dr. Buchholz, but 

 does not state whether they differed from typical Echeria. 



Additional locality : — Transvaal : Barberton ( /. P. Cloete). 



The single specimen ( $ ) received from Mr. Cloete is of the typical yellow- 

 spotted form.
