Seychelles. — A single unlabelled worn specimen, from the collection of Mr. J. A. 

 de Gaye, is supposed to have come from Silhouette. As, however, Mr. de Gaye's 

 collection contained numerous examples of Lepidoptera collected by him in Mauritius, 

 I am inclined to question the true origin of this particular specimen, and this species 

 must be queried as a Seychelles butterfly pending further evidence.
