ADDITIONS AND CORRECTIONS. 415 



taken near D'Urban by ]\Ir. INIillar, with the type of A. pseudo-zeritis, I have 

 come to the conclusion that Esmeralda is identical with Pseudo-zeritis. The 

 type of the latter is considerably worn, and the metallic spots on its under side 

 are more brassy than silvery, while the fulvous-yellow tinge over the disco- 

 cellular and costal part of the fore-wings is more pronounced, and there is pro- 

 nounced brownish fuscous clouding over both basal and lower discal areas of 

 the hind-wings. Mr. Selous' two examples have on the under side a paler 

 ground-colour, wholly wanting any dusky clouding. The D'Urban specimens, 

 on the contrary, are beneath of a darker greyer tint than the others, presenting 

 also a small but very pronounced fuscous cloud on the middle disc of the hind- 

 wings, and having all tlie silvery spots very brilliant. The greenish hue 

 Avhich replaces in certain lights the blue of the upper side is well exhibited in 

 all the specimens except the type of Pseudo-zeritis. There are two linear tails 

 on the hind-wing, respectively on the first median nervule and the submedian 

 nervure — the latter tail being the longer of the two. 



It has been rightly pointed out by Mr. Butler that the subcostal nervure 

 of the fore-wings has only three nervules, instead of four (rarely five) as in 

 Aphnceus ; but this is the only important feature of his new genus Chloroselas, 

 approximating it to Chri/sori/chia. The butterfly under notice is, however, 

 much less robust in structure than Chrysorychia, and has much longer and 

 more hirsute palpi ; and it is on the whole so thorough an Ai^hnceus that I 

 hesitate to separate it generically on account of its wanting one branch of the 

 subcostal nervure of the fore-wings. 



In December 1887 ISIr. Millar had the good fortune to fall in with this 

 exquisite little species near D'Urban. He wrote to me that he took about a 

 dozen examples " flying round acacia trees at Clare Estate, Sydenham. They 

 perched both on twigs and leaves, from Avhich they darted at one another, and 

 were very swift on the wing, usually returning to the same spot. They had 

 not, so far as I am aware, been seen before near D'Urban."

The specimens received from Mr. Palmer are noted as having been taken 

 on 14th March and 17th April 1888; they were settling on grass and low 

 plants about " kopjes," on a stony ridge.

It gave me great pleasure to receive three ^ s and a ? of this very rare 

 species from Mr. Hutchinson in February 1888; and I am thus enabled to 

 supplement my description of the solitary specimen previously known to me in 

 the following particulars, viz. : —

It is clear, on comparison with the $ received from Mr. Hutchinson, that 

 the smaller example described in the text is also of that sex. The larger ?
