Mr. Bowkor writes as follows on tins brilliant butteifly. "Near rivers, 

 flying witb great rapidity up and down the bauks. Comn.oa near llie 

 Basiiee in summer and autumn; also met witli near the Coiossa and 

 Nibesa Rivers, hut not so numerously. Very numerous all llie summer 

 and autumn, 1862." In my notes on this species I too hastily animad- 

 verted on Dr. Boisduval's view of its relaiious as the type of a disiiuet 

 penus. further examiuatiou has convinced ra>', that though a true Eronia, 

 Leda presents several indications of alliance witb the genus A nthocharis.

Mr. Andersson's specimen of this butteifly is identical in marking witl+ 

 those noted from Natal.

Mr. Bowker writes : " Numerous, March, 1863 : made thfir appearance 

 in one day by thousands; rare by the midille of April. Easily cauglit, 

 setiling upon flowers at edge of forest, but rarely met with inside woods. 

 Seen on 20th July, 1863."

The (J does not differ from the ? except in the thinner disco-cellular 

 ppot of fore-wing and the smaller ferruginous marginal spots. On the 

 20th September, 1863, I saw a specimen of this insect, fly from seaward 

 alnnj the Central Jetty, Cape Town. Mr. Bowker's note on Rhadia is 

 worthy attention : " Appeared with i^/ore/^a and disappeared at the s:ime 

 time." Mr. Atherstone took it in "Apiil (e) and August."
