35c. Argiolaus ismenias, Klug. 



Two, Sungikai, Nov. 13, 1904; two, Kadugli, Dec. 16, 

 1904. 



Not in the White Nile list. A fine but delicate species ; 

 the type came from Ambukol, 6° to the north. 



Mr. H. H. Druce has 6 <$ <$ and 1 $ from Lagos, of all 

 places; they were captured by Mr. C. A. (later Sir Alfred) 

 Moloney, then governor of the Colony. Mr. Druce writes 

 me that he has since seen others from the same locality 

 (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist, 1891, p. 148). 



Prof. Poulton says that there are many resemblances 

 between the fauna of Abyssinia and that of the West 

 Coast. 



35o\ Stugeta marmoreus, But!. 



Two at Kadugli, Jan. 18, 1905. 



Until lately represented solely by Petherick's type from 

 " the White Nile," in the British Museum, but Mr. Bethune- 

 Baker tells me that he has specimens from the Bahr el- 

 Ghazal to the south. See White Nile list, p. 55 footnote. 



Family PAPILIONIDAE. 

 Sub-family PIERINAE. 



Dr. Dixey has examined the butterflies of his favourite ' 

 sub-family with the thoroughness characteristic of him, 

 and has kindly placed his MS. notes at my disposal. All 

 the determinations are his and the copious extracts from 

 his notes are given in inverted commas. 



" The Pierinae captured by Captain Wilson number 

 twenty-one species. Of these all but two occur in the 

 records brought together by Dr. G. B. Longstaff in his 

 paper ' On the Butterflies of the White Nile.' The two 

 not there recorded are Glutophrissa epaphia, Cram., and 

 Teracolus eelimene, Lucas. [See notes to these species, 

 39a, 51a.] ... Of the nineteen species common to the 

 two lists, fifteen were previously known to occur in lati- 

 tudes corresponding to those explored by Capt. Wilson. . . . 

 Eight of the fifteen occur also in Southern Arabia, and 

 several of them have been recorded from the Nile Valley 

 north of Khartum. The four species included in Dr. 

 LongstafT's list, but not previously known from localities
