I know nothing.of this. species. .Mr. Kirby’s reference to 
Erynnis leads me to place it here. Mr. Butler could not find the 
type in the British Museum. I fear that im this, as in so many 
other cases, we shall never be able to know exactly what Mr. Walker 
intended by his specific appellation.

' The following species, all but one occurring in Madagascar, I 
allow to remain in the genus Trapezites, where they have been for 
the most part located by Dr. Butler and Mons. Mabille. Lieut. 
Watson states that the genus Zrapezites, in the strict sense, 18 
confined to the Australian region. Unfortunately I have not 
sufficient material at hand to justify the attempt by dissection and 
bleaching to determine whether these species are really separable 
from the genus in which they have hitherto been placed. It is 
much to be wished that some capable collector, who has an eye for 
the more obscure forms, might soon visit and’ thoroughly explore 
the field which is awaiting his labour in the great island east of 
Africa.
