A. Aganice. — Hab. Igora Mouth (J. II. B.). Mr. 

 Bowker found this butterfly on " icacJit-ecn-beetje" bushes, 

 i'l the month of February^ 



A. Protea.—l\ WO.— Hab. Bashee River (J. H. B.). 



Mr. Bowker observes: " Found among reeds and in forest near water, in 

 summer, autumn, and winter." Mr. D'Urbau writes that Mr. Ilewiisoa 

 lias figured and described this species as A. Esehria (Esot. Butr., II, pi. 

 20, f. 11, 12). This, being the older name, muit be adopted instead of 

 mine. 



A. Amazonia.— F. \\\.—Hab. Bashee River (J. H. B.). 



"Near one spot, on stony bank, where the grass is short and in tufts: 

 buzzing round in con'siderable numbers, and lighting on ground or on small 

 stonps." — J. H. B. 



Atella Fhalanta. — P. 115. — Hab. Kloinemond River 

 (H. J. A.) ; Bashee River (J. II. B ). 



Mr. Bowker observes: ''Settl s near the top of fliwering trees, but 

 only for a few seconds, and then away before the net has a chance. The 

 best, way is to make a rapid sweep at the insect while in flight, as it fre- 

 quently happens that on a person approaching the tree on which it sits, Mio 

 batterflv flies direct towards him, often passing within a few inches of his 

 held. Its colour is very briUirint : no mistaking it even at a distance >jud 

 amons other butterflies. Very local; always solitary. Marcli to May, 

 1863."
