Hewitson {Joe. cit.) placed Fapillo eiirisus^ Cr. { = heUuSj 

 Fabr.), as the type of this geuns, and Mr. ^loore has lately 

 recharacterized it, and has agreed in making Papilio heUus, 

 Fabr., the type (J. A. S. B. liii. p. 34). So far as I know- 

 there are only two other species which can be placed with it, 

 viz. lolaus holissus, Hew., from the Congo, and 1. carina^ 

 Hew. 



lolaus helius.

Hab. Sierra Leone, Winnebar {G. R. Williams) : Mus. G. 

 & S. Lagos {Sir A. Moloney). Cameroon Mountains : 

 Mus. Druce. 



Sir Alfred Moloney's collections have contained a large 

 number of this species, but I have not noted it plentiful from 

 other localities. 



lolaus holissus.

Lep., Supp. p. 28, pi. iv. a. figs. 48, 49 (1878). 



Bab. Congo (Bocjers) : Hew. Coll. 



The type specimens in tlie British ^Museum and one female 

 in Messrs. Godman and Salvin's collection are all I have 

 seen. It is probably the southern representative of /. helius. 



lolaus carina. 



lolaus carina, Hew. Ent. Month. Mag. x. p. 122 (,1873) ; 111. D. Lep., 

 Supp. p. 28, pi. iv. a. figs. 52-54 (1878). 



Hab. W. Africa : Hew. Coll. 



A distinct species, known to me only from the type sjicci- 

 mens in the Britisn Museum (Hew. Coll.). The precise 

 locality is unfortunately not noted.
