250 Dr. W. J. Holland on African Lepidoptera. 
differs in that the blue space upon the secondaries is divided 
by a black ray running along the lower edge of the cell and 
along the third median nervule, gradually widening outwardly 
and coalescing with the broad black marginal border. This 
is the only point of distinction between it and H, rezia, 8. & K., 
except that the primaries are more acute. 
In the same finely illustrated work, in connexion with the 
twenty-second plate of African Lyczenide I discover that the 
authors have made a change in a name which is not justified. 
They describe Lycenesthes lychnoptera (sic), and figure it on 
the plate, concluding that my name lychnaptes (‘ Psyche,’ 
vol. vi. p. 51) is a misprint. In this they are in error. My 
name lychnaptes* (not lychnoptes, as misprinted in the 
‘Rhopalocera Exotica’) must stand as it was published in 
‘Psyche.’ The synonymy is therefore as follows :— 
Epitola lychnaptes, Holl. 
Epitola lychnaptes, Holl. Psyche, vol. vi. p. 51 (1891). 
Epitola lychnoptera (err.), 8. & K., Rhop. Exot. part xxv. pl. xxi. 
Afr. Lyc. figs. 1, 2 (1898). 
Under the name Rhadinopasa Udei Dr. Karsch described, 
in the ‘ Entomologische Nachrichten,’ 1891, p. 15, a Smerin- 
thine moth which is identical with Bastana Hornimannt, 
Druce, as Karsch himself admits in a later article published 
in the same journal. It is worthy of notice, however, that 
while the specific name given by Druce must stand, the 
insect is dimorphic, and I infer from what I can make out of 
Dr. Karsch’s description that. he had the dimorphic form 
before him. Ihave a large series of the insect reared ex larva. 
Some of the caterpillars were reddish and produced typical 
Hornimanni, which is a rosy moth ; others of the larvee were 
dark green and produced a duller-coloured moth. I propose 
to retain Karsch’s name for this form, and suggest the 
following synonymy :— 
Rhadinopasa Hornimanni, Druce. 
Basiana Hornimanni, Druce, Ent. Month, Mag. xvi. 1880, p. 268, 
Basiana? Hornimanni, Holl. Trans. Am. Ent. Soc. xvi. 1889, p. 66,
