A NEW SPECIES OF TREMEX FROM BORNEO. 33 



On March 24th I went up to Eshowe, in Zululand. The 

 country here lies high, and is well-watered. One particular 

 stream was very beautiful, flowing in a series of falls and rapids, 

 the falls sometimes being sixty feet to eighty feet high. Here I 

 saw several times but failed to capture Papilio ophidicephalus. 

 On one occasion I actually broke the tails off one, and then it 

 escaped. Up here, and also on the South Coast, Harma aid- 

 meda was abundant, and amongst them I took several male 

 H. coranus. Another nice insect, which I only took here, was 

 Hypolyccena huxtoni, of which I took several examples along the 

 paths. Probably the commonest butterfly here was Lethe indosa, 

 which haunted the more shady portions of the bush. In the 

 open, on the grass veldt, were many examples of the genus 

 Precis. 



I then returned to Durban, where I found things getting 

 much scarcer. On the sand just above high-watermark I took a 

 nice series of a Cicendela, which absolutely matched the colour 

 of the sand on which it was in the habit of running. A big 

 electric light in the Musgrave Eoad yielded many moths and a 

 few beetles, amongst which I obtained a new Longicorn (Gahania 

 simmondsi, Dist.). A visit to Pietermaritzburg and Howick 

 yielded a nice series of Alana amazoula, and I also saw Papilio 

 echerioides on one of the hill-tops, but failed to effect a capture. 

 The last two or three days were spent at Amanzinitoti, on 

 the South Coast, but the only fresh things obtained here were 

 Deudorix antakis and a single specimen of Hanianuniida dcedalus. 

 This ended my collecting in South Africa, except for a few hours 

 at Cape Town, on the Lion's Head, where I only obtained a few 

 Lycaenidse. 



I have by no means given a full list of the species taken, but 

 only of the more interesting ones. I left Durban on April 19th 

 by the turbine steamship * Miltiades,' and after a very pleasant 

 trip reached London on May 13th.
