Genus PHYSCiENEURA, p. 71, liuo 25. 



A singular intermediate form between P. Panda and P. Lecla is described 

 and figured by Mr. Godraan {Proc. Zool. Soc. Land., 1880, p. 183, pi. xix. 

 ff. 2, 3) as P. Pione, from a specimen obtained by Mr. Last on the Gnuru Hills, 

 opposite Zanzibar. In this species the white of the upper side is less deve- 

 loped than in Leda, leaving a brown inner-marginal border from base to beyond 

 middle in the fore-wings, and a costal narrow one in the hind-wings ; the ocelli, 

 too, are mostly visible. On the under side it is much nearer Panda, being 

 everywhere striated except for a small discal space in each wing immediately 

 before the ocelli. Only a single example occurred in Mr. Last's collection.

Pseudonympha sp., near P. Natalii, Boisd., p. 82, note. 



Judging from the descriptions given, I think Mr. Selous' Tropical South- 

 African species is identical with the Ypldhima Bern of Hewitson (Ent 31. 

 Mag., 1877, p. 107), from Lake Nyassa, from v,-\i\ch Neoccenyra duplex, Butler 

 {Proc. Zool. Soc. Land., 1885, p. 758), a native of Somaliland, does not appear 

 to be separable. Mr. A. W. Eriksson has lately (1S88) sent me fourteen speci- 

 mens taken on the Okavango River. 



Pseudonympha Hippia, p. 82. 



Four more examples of this rare butterfly have come under my notice ; 

 one Avas captured by ]\Ir. II. L. L. Feltham on the summit of Table ]\Iountain 

 on the 15th January 1888, and three were taken by INIr. R. M. Lightfoot on 

 the same mountain, but at the lower elevation of about 2300 feet, on the 

 ist February 1889. 



Mycalesis Safitza, p. 105, and Mycalcsis perspicua, p. 107. 



There is considerable ground for believing that the variety occurring in 

 both these species in which the under-side ocelli are very greatly reduced or 

 almost obsolete is the winter or dry-season form. My attention was directed 

 to this view by Mr. L. de Nic(^ville, who sent me his interesting paper on the 

 analogous cases observed by him among Indian Saii/ridce of the genera Myca- 

 lesis,^Ypthima, and Melanitis {Journ. Asiat. Soc. Bengal, Iv. p. 229, 1886). 

 In Safitza and Persjncua, all the specimens which bear dates of capture by 

 myself or others in Eastern Sauth Africa have been carefully referred to, and 

 I find that all but one Zululand Safitza, ticketed March 1887 (which has small 

 ocelli), and a Natal one ticketed May 1884 (which has them moderately deve- 

 ioped), bear out M. de Niceville's Indian experience that the summer or wet- 

 season specimens have the under-side ocelli fully developed, while the winter 

 or dry-season specimens have them either greatly reduced or obsolete. It is 

 worth noting that at Knysna, on the south coast of Cape Colony, where the 

 year is not sharply divisible into a wet summer and a dry winter season, but 

 where the rainfall is more irregularly distributed, the long series of Safitza
