346 RHOPALOCERA AFRICA AUSTRALI3.

 Town (Mrs. Barber). 



P. JBorbonica.P. 303. Hab. D'Urban, Port Natal. 



I refer to this species a $ and a $ Pampliila which I took at Natal, in 

 June and August, 1865, respectively. The $ has smaller spots than 

 usual in forewing. the last being obsolete above and ill-defined on under- 

 side ; while the olivaceous tint of underside is very faint, and the spots of 

 hindwing minute. The $ has the first 3 spots of forewiny more con- 

 spicuous than usual ; while on the underside the yellow-olivaceous is 

 wanting, being replaced by hoary-grey irrorations. The wings are blunt- 

 er and more rounded than in the Mauritian examples.

 D'Urban, Port Natal. 



I captured a single specin.cn of this curious Hesperian in the Botanic 

 Garden at D'Urban, on the 23rd Jane, 1865. I could not detect any 

 noise emitted by ir in flight. It settled twice on the purple labiate 

 flowers of a weed common in the Garden, keeping its wings fully ex- 

 panded.

 " Sierra Leone " (Drury and Stoll). 



This species is common in the Botanic Garden at Natal, and seems to 

 prefer the vicinity of Mango trees. It is very rapid in flight, the white 

 undersurface of hindwiugs being then conspicuous. It settles constantly, 

 and very abruptly, on the under side of leaves, keeping the wings fully 

 expanded. Several of the $ specimens that I captured are fullj as large 

 as Drurj's figures. 



Ismene Florestan. P. 318. Hab. Mauritius. 



I observed several specimens of Florestan in Mauritius. The insect 

 flies in a hurried, bustling fashion, more after the rjmnner of a Noctua 

 than of a butterfly. The hindwings are partly expanded when at rest.
