Genus Callosune, E. Doubleday. 



I have been led by a comparison of the Asiatic and 

 African species usually grouped under Anthocharis, 

 with the European typical forms of that genus, to 

 follow Mr. F. Moore and Mr. Wallace in treating the 

 section CaUosune as gcnerically distinct. The species 

 composing that section difl'er constantly from the true 

 Anthocharis in having the antennfe less broadly clavate ; 

 the palpi shorter, and not so hirsute ; the sub-costal 

 nervure of fore-wing with but four (instead of five) ner- 

 vules; the upper-surface of both wings (at least in the 



$ , and usually in both sexes) more or less varied with 

 black markings ; and the under-surface of the hind- 

 mngs entirely devoid of the characteristic variegation 

 with greenish. Hiibner separated Evippe, Linn., and 

 Ehorca, Cram., {zzDanae, Fab.), from his genus EuchJoe 



(see Verz. Bek. Schmett, pp. 94, 95), but his generic 

 name of Aphrodite is pre-occupied in the Annelide Class. 

 Wallengren has instituted for the extra-European species 

 his genus Anthopsyche (Sv. Akad. Handl. 1857, p. 10), 

 but Doubleday's CaUosune has ten years' priority. 



CaUosune Evenina. (PL VI. fig. 11.) 



Anthopsyche Evenina, Wallengren, Svensk. Akad. Handl. 

 1857, p. 12. 



A single $ from Maseru expands 1 in. 8^ lin., and 

 quite agrees wath Wallengren's description, and with 

 specimens collected in Damara-land by Mr. J. A. Bell, 

 excepting that the large inner marginal spot of the fore- 

 wings is distinctly united (on the first median nervule) 

 with the basal fuscous. There were three examples of 

 this species, taken near Potchefstroom, in the collection 

 of Mr. V. E. Noren; and two other specimens, lately 

 sent me from the Trans- Vaal Country by Mr. T. Ayres, 

 agree closely with those from Damara-land. 



This species (of which the $ remains unkno^vn, though 

 there are certain individuals of that sex inhabiting the 

 same regions as Evenina, which I am strongly disposed to 

 associate ^vith it) differs from all the females of CaUosune 

 with which I am acquainted, in the peculiar distribution 

 of the blackish markings on the upperside of the wings.
