Mr. Trimen gives a further list of localities for this species 

 on page 123 of his S. Afr. Butt. It seems to be a well- 

 known South- African butterfly. 



The type ( <^ ) is in Messrs. Godmau and Salviu's collec- 

 tion.

Hah. Zululand, Delagoa Bay {Hew.). 



I have placed this and the following species in this genus 

 with considerable doubt, as we have no specimens for exam- 

 ination. 



The only specimen I have seen is the one in the Hewitson 

 Collection, which, as noted by Mr. Trimen, is in very poor 

 condition. 



Epamera (?) mimosce.

Hob. S. Africa. 



I have not seen this species, which is probably a rare one, 

 as it is not represented in any collections to which I have 

 access. 



Mr. Trimen {loc. cit. p. 137) gives a long list of localities 

 from which this insect has been obtained. 



Epamera (?) aphneoides.
