Lycoina Ttlicanns. 



PapUio Tclicanns, Herbst, Natur-Syst. bek. Ins., 

 Schmett. pi. cccv. f. 6-9. 



Among the specimens sent from Maseru was a $ of 

 unusually large size. 



Lyccena Palemon. 



PapiUo Palemon, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iv. 209, pi. cccxc, 

 f. E. F. 



The males of this species received from Koro-Koro and 

 Maseru are richly coloured on the upperside. Of each 

 sex, there is a single example in which the short tails of 

 the hind- wings are so completely wanting, that it scarcely 

 appears as if the butterflies could have lost them. At 

 the same time, I must add, that I have not met with any 

 specimens of this Lyccena in which the tails varied from 

 the usual size. 



Lyccena Johates.

Three males of this rare species have been taken by IMr. 

 Bowker near Maseru, two of them " among grass by the 

 Caledon River." One of these specimens, now before 

 me, agrees in all particulars with HoiDSer's figure re>- 

 presenting a Querimba example. 



Lyccena asteris. 



Polyommahis asteris, Godart, Enc. Mcth. ix. 657. 



In my Phopahcera Africre ausfralis (p. 247) I grouped 

 together under Cehvus, Cramer {=.Paysimo7i, Fabr., which 

 is the older name) several forms of Lyccena, which I was 

 quite unable to separate satisfactorily. The accession of 

 more specimens, and wider knowledge of the distribution 

 of these forms, have by no means solved my difficulties;
