five years' priority. Mr. Marshall asks — "Is Azanus macalem/a, 

 Trimeii, ideutical with A. uhaldns, Cram. ? There is a single 

 specimen of the latter in the Durban Museum from the Punjab, and 

 I can detect no difference." 



The chief difference between A. uhalchis and A. zena is that the 

 male of the former has no belt of thickened lilac scales across the 

 upper surface of the primaries : if the females got mixed it would 

 be no easy matter to sort them.

51. Taetjcus theopheastus, Fabr. 



Tugela Eiver, near Weenen, 22nd October, 3rd and 9th Novem- 

 ber, 1896. 



T. cyharis cannot be distinguished from this species.

Estcourt, 27th September, 3rd and 18th October ; Tugela Eiver, 

 26th October, 6th and loth November, 1896. 



The specimens were labelled Z. lysimon, but that species can be 

 distinguished at a glance by the outer border to the wings of the 

 male occupying the outer fourth of the wing and by the smoky- 

 brown upper surface of the female ; the under surface of the wings 

 is also much browner and with considerably less sharply defined 

 markings.

Estcourt, 18th October; Tugela Eiver near Weenen, 30th

" A scarce species round here. I am strongly inclined to believe 

 the G. melcena, Trimen, is only the wet-season form of this."

Mr. Marshall notes that Lyccmesthes livida (of which there is 

 one worn male example from the first three consignments) is 

 " a very rare species, taken flying round a bysh on a high kopje."
