LYC.'ENID.E. 105 



near Graliamsto\vn, and were kindly presented to me by Mrs. Barber. On 

 the 23d of the .same month I captured, at Uitenhage (on Cannon Hill), 

 three males of a Lycwiiesthes, which so closely corresponded with the females 

 mentioned that, upon subsequent comparison, no doubt could be entertained 

 of the identity of species. The males in question were flitting about and 

 settling on the twigs of some bushes at the summit of the hill. A fourth 

 male, taken in Somerset East district, was received from Colonel Bowker in 

 1871. 



I have not seen any further examples of this dull-coloured Lycsenid in 

 the collections that I have been able to examine. *

Imago. — Head ratlier broad ; eyes clothed with short hair ; ixdpi 

 short, slender — second joint long, densely scaly, laterally flattened, — 

 terminal joint acute, slender, directed forward, veiy short in ^ but 

 long in ^ ; antcnncc long, slender, with a distinct elongate club, more 

 pronounced in $ than in ^. 



Thorax robust (very stout in ^), densely downy — especially on 

 breast. Fore-icings somewhat variable in form, apically usually rather 

 acute (but always less so in $ than in $) ; on inner-margin in $ almost 

 always a tuft of stiff bristly hairs on under side before middle ; sub- 

 costal nervure four-branched, and neuration quite agreeing with that 

 of Ajjhnccus. Hind-vjings more or less produced in anal-angular 

 portion — anal angle itself bearing a very j^i'ominent lobe ; a rather 

 long linear tail at extremity of first median nervule, and generally a 

 slight acute projection at extremity of second median nervule ; costal 

 nervure terminating at apex ; subcostal nervure branched just before 

 extremity of cell ; neuration generally as in AplinKUS and Hypolyccena ; 

 in ^ usually a small smooth shining spot near costa before middle, just 

 at base of two branches of subcostal nervure. Fore-legs of ^ much as 

 in Aphnecus^ — but femur more hairy beneath — tibia only spined at 

 extremity, — tarsus more strongly spined beneath ; — of the $ generally 

 thicker, — tarsus longer, completely articulate, and with two claws. 

 Middle and hind legs rather short, moderately thick ; — coxfe and femora 

 hairy, — tibice smooth, with short terminal spurs, — tarsi thickly spinulose 

 beneath.
