a more genei'al blue surface in the fore-wings tlian in 

 the representation of a c? from Kaffraria Proper, given 

 in Itliop. Aft. aust. (pi. iv. f. 7), and in this respect 

 agree with examples found in other parts of South 

 Africa, viz.: Kleinemond River, Bathurst (Mrs. Barber), 

 many parts of Natal (M. J. McKen, W. Morant, and 

 myself), and St. Lucia I3ay (Col. H. Tower). 



Specimens not differing from the South- African 

 examples are in Mr. Layard's collection from Ceylon, 

 and in the Hopeian Collection (Oxford Museum) from 

 the Neilgherry Hills, Madras ; but I have not been able 

 to discover that any entomologist has described or named 

 them. 



Lyccena Tsomo. 



Trimen, Tr. Ent. Soc. 1868, p. 91. 



Mr. Bowker originally discovered this very distinct 

 Lyccena in Kaffraria Proper, early in the year 1865. He 

 then noted its abundance in swampy, reedy spots, near 

 the River Tsomo, and in March, 1869, again met with it 

 in the Drakensbergen, on a branch of the Orange River, 

 frequenting similar spots, and '' very numerous on Mint 

 flowers." Other localities where Mr. Bowker has noticed 

 the insect, are Tantjies Berg, and the R. C. Mission 

 Station, near Thaba Bosigo.

Aphnceus caffer. 



Trimen, Tr. Ent. Soc. 1868, p. 88. 



The large series forwarded from ^laseru from September 

 to December, 1869, consisted, in both sexes, of examples 

 rather smaller than the Natalian ones on which I founded 

 this species, and differing from the latter in liaving the 

 transverse gold-streaked black-edged stripes, as well as 

 the widened inner submarginal hind-wing streak, of the 

 underside, pale creamy-ochreous with a slight ferruginous 

 tinge, instead of orange-ochreous. They also present
