108. PAROSMODES ICTERIA Mab. 



Enterprise Camp, near Salisbury, 7th July, 1895. 



I have always believed this species to be the P. ranoha of 

 Westwood (now considered synonymous with P. morantii, Trimen). 

 The figure of the latter differs from it about as much as do the 

 extreme variations of the preceding species. 



109. PAROSMODES MORANTII Trim. 



Gadzima, 19th September, 1895. 



New to the Museum series. I should not be at all surprised to 

 see intergrades between this species and P. icteria : the position of 

 the orange band on the secondaries varies a good deal in our series 

 of the latter species ; but the coloration and pattern of the under 

 surface, although very variable, still show sufficient differences to 

 warrant the separation of the two butterflies for the present. 



110. CYCLOPIDES METIS Linn. 



Karkloof, 27th January, 8th and llth February, 1897. 



111. KEDESTES MACOMO Trim.

Karkloof, 29th and 31st January, llth February, 1897. 



115. GEGENES LETTERSTEDTI Wallgr. 



Estcourt, 1st January, 1897. 



This is G. Tiottentota of authors other than Latreille, the latter 

 being (as previously stated) the G. obumbrata of Trimen. 



116. GEGENES HOTTENTOT A Latr. 



c? , Salisbury, 10th March ; $ , 6th April, 1895 ; $ , Estcourt, 

 3rd January, 1897. 



The female of this species is new to the Museum collection. 

 It seems hardly conceivable that a species the male of which has 

 a large brand on the primaries can be a dimorphic form of one 

 without a trace of a brand, but (as Dr. Holland observes) " the 

 females are absolutely indistinguishable." 



117. BAORIS ATRESII Trim. 



Gadzima, 10th September, 1895. 



New to the general series of the Museum collection, though 

 represented by one example in the Hewitson series.
