Lepidoptera from Southern Africa. 397 



Genus 14. Lycjinesthes, Moore. 



21. Lycoznesthes messapus, Godart. 



Natal. 



This and the next species do not quite agree with Lycce- 

 nesthes proper, since they do not possess the hair-like scales 

 on the outer margin of secondaries ; I am, however, unwilling 

 to grieve my entomological friends by characterizing a new 

 genus for their reception. 



22. Lycoznestlies asopus, Ilopffer. 

 Natal. 



Genus 15. Lampides, Hiibner. 



23. Lampides osiris, Hopffer. 

 Natal. 

 This is the African representative of L. cnejus. 



24. Lampides pulchra, Murray. 

 Natal. 



I suspect that this is the L. telicanus of Trimen's ' Rhop. 

 Afr. Austr.' 



25. Lampides palemon, Cramer. 



Natal. 

 Natal. 



Genus 16. Thestoe, Hiibner. 

 26. Tkestor bibulus ? , Fabricius. 



Subfamily Treclinm. 



Genus 17. Iolaus, Hiibner. 



27. Iolaus hirundo, var. ?, Trimen. 

 Natal. 



The two examples sent are smaller, and darker on the upper 

 surface, than in Trimen's figure. 



Genus IS. Hypolyc^ena, Felder. 



28. Hypolyccena philippus, Fabricius (var.certhis, Doubleday).

This insect seems to come very close to Iolaus orejus $ of 

 Hopffer.
