really unknown from the Asiatic localities where the 

 latter occurs. Godart (Enc. Meth. ix. 188), after 

 giving the East Indies, Java, Timor, Syria, and Naples 

 as habitats of Chryslppus, makes this general remark, 

 viz. ; " Ces differens pays produisent des varietes dont 

 le fond des ailes est entiiirement d'un fauve-brun ou d'un 

 bruu-marron clair," — evidently referring to the form 

 Dorippus. 



Genus Meneris, E. Doubleday. 



Meneris Tulbaghia. 



Papilio Tulbaghia, Linn. S. N. ii. 775. 



The specimens sent from Maseru are quite like the 

 ordinary Colonial examples, except for their slightly 

 smaller size. The most northern station of this species, 

 of which I am aware, is Grey town, in Natal, where I 

 took it in March, 1867. 



Genus Hypanis, Boisduval. 



I concur with Mr. Bates (Journal of Entomology, ii. 

 178) in thinking that the family Eurytelidw of Double- 

 day {Bihlidcs of Boisduval) is composed of genera that 

 cannot satisfactorily be separated from the Nymphalidiv, 

 but Avhich should, for the most part, be placed in the 

 sub-family Ny^)iphalince, in the neighbourhood of such 

 genera as Crcnis and Eunica. In my Rhop. Afr. 

 aust. p. 144, I expressed the opinion that Myscelia 

 {Crcnis) natalensis, Boisd., showed considerable affinity 

 to the Eurytelide butterflies. The remarkable length 

 and downward inflection of the palpi is the chief distin- 

 guishing character of the genera Hypanis, Euryfela, &c., 

 and in this feature they appear to be linked to Eunica 

 by the singular genus lAhythina (see Bates, op. cit. p. 

 200), of which the solitary species Cuvicrii was described 

 by Godart as a true LihytJiea. The dilatation which in 

 Crenis, Eunica, and JAhythina marks both costal and 

 median uervurcs of the fore-wings, is in the Eurytelide 

 genera confined to the costal nervure.
