XXVIII. On some new species of Rhopalocera from 
Southern Africa. By Rouanp Trimen, F.L.S., &c., 
Curator of the South-African Museum, Cape Town. 
[Read August 3rd, 1881.] 
The butterflies here treated of are the following, 
viz. :-— 
Acrea Barberi, Crenis Morantii, 
Acrexa fenestrata, Salamis nebulosa, 
Leptoneura Oxylus, Lycenesthes livida. 
All are natives of the extra-tropical region of Southern 
Africa, and only Salamis nebulosa appears to extend 
within tropical limits. I propose to give figures of these 
species, as well as of others which will form the subject 
of a further communication to the Society, in the work 
which I am preparing on the South-African Rhopalocera 
generally.
