KHQ*ALOCERA AFRICA AUSTRALIS. 



A. Keiskamma. P. 56. 



Under the title of A. Eucharis, Fab., Wallengren records a specimen, 

 taken by Wahiberg, which he observes may very probably be a variety of 

 the $ of A. Evarne. The characters given coincide well with those of 

 A. Keiskamma $ . Specimens of Ecarne recently received induce the 

 belief that Keiskamma is a sub species of that butterfly.

This species was taken abundantly in Damara Land by Mr. John A. 

 Bell during the year 1862. Swainson figures the $ , riot the $ as Bois- 

 duval stages. I append descriptions of both sexes.

$ . Sulphur-yellow, with o.chrey -yellow apical patch. Fore-wing :. 

 a small, thin disco-cellular spot; costa narrowly black-edged from near 

 base, paling and widening into a dull-fuscous apical border which, out- 

 wardly bordering ochre-tinged patch, extends along hind-margin nearly to 

 end of third median nervule; ap ; cal patch small, of the ground-colour, 

 hut suffused with greyish-ochreous, crossed by three nervules, inwardly 

 bordered by a broad black bar from costa, ending abruptly on first median 

 nervule, where a few dusky scales (in some specimens) form an indistinct 

 line between it aijd fuscous border. Hind-whig : paler; a fuscous in- 

 dis-inct spot on posta beyond middle. UNDER-SIDE. Greenish-white: 

 hind-wing and apex of fqre-wirjg hatched closely with lines of ochrey-grey. 

 Fore wing : cellular spot wanting!; bar from costa faintly showing. Hind- 

 icing : hatching denser along costa, forming a dusky border; cellular fold, 

 from base to hind-margin, inferiorly marked by an ochrey-grey stripe. 



? . Much paler, or sometimes nearly white :, apical patch brighter or 

 duller or any e. Fore-icing : cellular spot ill-defined ; fuscous border 

 broader, tinged with ferruginous; costal edging reddish-grey; bar from 

 costa reduced to a narrow, fuscous, sub-macular stripe, within which the 

 orange slightly extends. JFIin d-wing : as in $. UNDER-SIDE. Similar: 

 Jiatelungs darker. Fore-winy: apical orange faintly indicated. Hind- 

 wing: cellular fold-streak more strongly marked. 



The specimens before me having been pressed in a b^ok, I am not in a 

 position to state whether this species should be considered as the type of 

 ft new Genus. In structure and in the thicker and more pointed wings it 

 seems to approach Eronia more than any other of the Genus Anthocharis.

The specimens brought from Damara Lnnd by Mr. Anderson were 

 smaller, lighter, and with a more vivid apical violet gloss than those found 

 far to the South, but Mr. Belt's examples from the same region were 

 rather larger and darker than the Colonial specimens. 



Idmais Vesta. P. 62. 



Specimens of the same species as that Described under this name have 

 been brought from Damara Land by Mr. Bell.
