36 MR. E. XEIilEN ON BnTTERFLIES FE031 [Jan. 16, 



land female ligui-ed by me i^op. cit.). I have a similar but rather 

 smaller female, captured bj- Mr. H. M. Barber in the Lydenburg 

 District, Eastern Transvaal, which presents the peculiarity of 

 having the superior discal ocellus on the upperside of the hind 

 wings as distinct and as brightly coloured as the constant inferior 

 one. 



Mr. Selous's specimen was captured on 21st September, settled 

 on the leaf of a tree ; other specimens were seen flying about the 

 same spot, but were much worn. 



Genus Ceenis, Boisd. 



48. Ceenis BoiSDUTAiii, Wallengr. 



Crenis boisduvali, Wallengr. K. Sv. Vet.-Akad. Handl. 1857. — 

 Lep. Ehop. Caffr. p. 30. n. 2; Trim. S.-Afr. Butt. i. p. 252. 

 n. 81, pi. V. figs. 2, 2 a (1887). 



Nineteen examples (12 from Christmas Pass and 7 from the 

 Mineni Valley) agree in all respects with Natalian specimens. 



Genus Euextela, Boisd. 



49. Etjettela hiaebas (Dru.). 



Papilio hiarlas, Dru. EQ. Nat. Hist. iii. pi. xiv. figs. 1, 2 (1782). 

 A single example from Christmas Pass. 



50. EuETTELA BEYOPE (Cram.). 



Papilio dryope, Cram. Pap. Exot. t. Ixxviii. figs. E, F (1779). 



Three specimens from Christmas Pass and one from the Lopodzi 

 Kiver. In a female from the former locality the discal ochre-yellow 

 band is broader than usual. 



Genus Htpanis, Boisd. 



51. Htpaites ixithxia (Dru.). 



Papilio ilithyia, Dru. lU. Nat. Hist. ii. pi. xvii. figs. 1, 2 (1773). 



The eleven examples taken (8 at Christmas Pass and 3 in the 

 Mineni Valley) belong to the var. acheloia, Wallengr., which 

 appears to be the prevalent Coast-district form in several parts 

 of Africa, and specially so in Natal. All have the underside 

 colouring pale ; and in one male on the upperside the spots of 

 ground-colour in the hind marginal black border of the hind \vings 

 are very much reduced. 



Genus Neptis, Fabr. 



52. Neptis agatha (Cram.). 



Papilio agatha, Cram. Pap. Exot. iv. t. cccxxvii. figs. A, B (1780). 



The six examples (4 from Christmas Pass and 2 from the 

 Mineni Valley) vary a little as to the width of the white trans- 

 verse bands.
