Ploetzia fiara. 



Proteides fiam, Butler, Trans. Ent. Soc, 1870, p. 503.

pi. 255.

S. Africa {Plotz). 



On the plate is " natalica, Plotz," but he published the 

 species as fiara, Butler, having found out his mistake 

 before going to press ; on the plate is written in pencil 

 " = fiara." 



Ploetzia niveicornis. 



Hesperia niveicornis, Plotz, Stett. ent. Zeit., xliv, p. 3 



(1883), pi. 1390. 

 Baoris 7iiveicornis, Holland, P. Z. S., 1896, p. 71. 

 Perichares albicornis, Butler, P. Z. S., 1896, p. 132, pi. vi, f. 8. 



Angola (Plotz). 



Butler's type came from Lower Nyika; it is much like 

 Plotz's figure, and if not identical, it is certainly a race of 

 the same species. 



ISMENE, Swainson, Zool. 111., i, pi. 16 (1820), type 

 cedipodea, Swainson. 



ISMENE NESTOR. 



Ismene nestor, Mosch,, Verb. Zool.-bot. Gess. Wien., xlviii,

" Ostindien " {Plotz). 



Moscbler also records it from Java, de Niceville from 

 Samba wa and West Java ; Plotz figured it under the name 

 firdusi, but did not describe it, having discovered it was 

 Moschler's species. " Ostindien " in continental language 

 is Java.
