Mr. Waterhouse also exhibited specimens of Aleochara brunneipennis, Kraatz, = 
sanguinea, Kirby, and called attentiun to the fact that that species was identical with 
the A. merens, 7’homs., as he had ascertained both from the description and by com- 
parison with a specimen received from Thomson by Mr. Crotch. 
Prof. Westwood exhibited the sexes of Ramphorhina Petersiana, a splendid Goliath 
beetle, brought from the Zambesi by the Rev. H. Rowley, the female being then for 
the first time exhibited; also several species of Lepidoptera from the Zambesi, 
amongst which was a new species of Charaxes, which considerably resembled an 
Argynnis, and of which the following description was read:— 
: Cuaraxes ARGYNNIDES, Westw. 
C. alis anticis apice rotundatis, margine apicali in medio emarginato; posticis 
sinuatis, bicaudatis; omnibus supra saturate fulvis, limbo apicali nigro, fulvo- 
maculato; anticarum cellula discoidali nigro bimaculata, macula externa cur- 
vata, et macula trifida terminata; pone medium al maculis quinque in lineam 
curvatam dispositis; posticis striga undata interrupta, e maculis minutis fuscis 
formata, per medium ale currente, limbo nigro, serie duplici Junularum fulvarum 
submarginalium ; anticis subtus disco magis rufescenti, macula tripartita sub- 
costali pone medium notatis; posticis obscurioribus, dimidio basali maculis 
irregularibus albidis, nigro antice marginato, limbo griseo luteo albido fuscoque 
striolato.

At first sight this butterfly might almost be taken for one of the Fritillaries, Atella 
Phalanta, to which tails had been added. To some of the Vanissidans, such as Eurema 
Paullus, it also bears a considerable resemblance; but its nearest direct ally is the 
African Charaxes Neanthes of Hewitson, from which, however, it is very distinct, 
belonging to a different section of the genus. 
Prof. Westwood also read the following description :— 
Papitio Hewitsonu, Westw. 
&@ Corpore nigro, albo-punctato; alis anticis elongato-ovalibus, posticis subro- 
tundatis; anticis supra nigris, immaculatis; posticis fuscis, venis nigris, angulo 
anali macula fulva in marginem analem extensa, et duplici serie macularum 
grisearum submarginalium fere indistincta inter venulas medianas notatis; alis 
infra rufo-fuscis, posticis macula anali, fulva supra, punctis duobus nigris 
maculisque duabus cuneatis griseis coronata, serieque submarginali macularum 
grisearum hastiformium; ani lobis duobus oblongis magnis, singulo macula 
oblonga albo-notato.
