331 RHOPALOCERA AFRICiE AUSTRALia. 



y/. Kehkamma. — P. ^6. 



Under the tit.le of A. Eucharis, Fab., Wallengren rf cords a specitiien, 

 taken by Wahiberg, wliicli he observes m^iy very probably be a variety o'f 

 the ? of A. Evarne. The characters given coincide wt 11 willi those of 

 A. Keiskamma $ . Specimens of Evarne recently received induce the 

 belief that Keiskamma is a sub species of that butterfly.

This species was taken abunriauUy in Damara Land by Mr. John A. 

 Bell during the year 1862. Swainsou figures the ^ , not the $ as Bois- 

 duval states. I append descriptions of both sexes.

$ . Siilphur-iielloio, ivith ochrey-yellow apical patch. Fore-wing ; 

 a small, ihin disco-cellular spot; costa narrowly black-edged from near 

 base, paling and widening into a dull-fuscous apic;il border which, out- 

 wardly boideriug ochre-tinged patch, extends along hind-margin nearly to 

 end of third median nervule; ap'cal patch small, of the ground-colour, 

 but suffused with greyish-ocbreous, crossed by three nervules, — inwardly 

 bordered by a broad black bar from costa, ending abruptly on first median 

 nervule, where a few dusky scales (in some specimens) form an inilistinct 

 line between it and fuscous border. Hind-iving : ^laZer ; a fuscous in- 

 flisunct spot on costa beyond middle. Uif der-side. — Greenish-white : 

 hind-wing and apex of fore-wing hatched closely with lines of ochrey-grey. 

 Formving: cellular spot waniingj; bar from costa feintly showing. Hind- 

 icing: hatching denser along costa, forming a dusky border; cellular fold, 

 from base to hind-margin, inferiorly marked by an ochrey-grev stripe. 



? . Much paler, or sometimes nearly u-hite : apical patch brighter or 

 duller orange. Fore-ioing .- cellular spot ill-detined ; fuscous border 

 hrodder, tinged with ferruginous; costal edging reddi»h-grey; b;)r from 

 costa reduced to a narrow, fuscous, sub-macular stripe, within which the 

 orange slightly extends. Hind-wing ; as in ^ . Under-SIDE. — Similar : 

 jiaicliings darker. Fore-wing : apical orange faintly indicated. Hind- 

 wing: cellulrir fold-streak more strongly maiked. 



The specimens before me having been pressed in a b^-ok, I am not in a 

 position to state whether this species should be considered as the type of 

 a new Genus. In structure and in the thicker and more pointed wings it 

 seems to approach Eronia more than any other of the Genus Anthocharis.

The specimens brought from Damara Lmd by Mr. Andersson were 

 smaller, lighter, and with a more vivid apical violet gloss than those found 

 far to the South, hut Mr. Bell's exvtmples from the same region wera 

 rather larger and darker than the Colonial specimens.

S()eeimpns of the same species as that described under this name have 

 been brouj^ht from Damara Land by Mr. Bell.
