There are four males of this well-defined species, all taken at Medje, 

 one in April, two in June, and one in August 1910. Hewitson originally 

 described the insect from Angola. 



Procampta^ Holland

There is a single specimen of this scarce insect, which is labelled as 

 taken at Medje, August 24, 1910. It has been compared with the type, 

 and agrees with it in every particular. So far as I know, it is the second 

 specimen which has thus far turned up. The type came from the valley 

 of the Ogove River. The butterfly seems to have been overlooked by 

 collectors, probably because of its small size and obscure coloration.

There is one ragged male specimen of this species which, according to 

 the label, was taken at "Faradje 1911-1912." 



'Mabille in the 'Genera Insectoruni,' Fas?. XVII, in the Index gives the genus Procampta Holland 

 and refers to "p. .59"; he also cites in the Index the specific name rara "sp. gen. Procampta," and 

 refers to p. 131. Neither of these pages contains theslightest allusion either to thegenus or the species. 

 On page 43, in one of the keys to the genera he cites Procampta as belonging to Section 11. I am curious 

 to know how the Index of the work was fabricated, so as to cite the genus and species and the pages on 

 which they are recorded, without their being there at all. I may say in passing that while I have the 

 warmest personal regard for the author of this work, which must be constantly referred to, it so abounds 

 in typographical errors and omissions as to make its use exceedingly trying. It is the "despair" of 

 working hesperidologists. So far as the Hesperiidic of temperate and boreal North America are con- 

 cerned, it completely ignores everything of importance which had been doneby students in the United 

 States and Canada during the ciuarter of a century which had elapsed prior to its appearance.
