1896. ] BUTTERFLIES OF THE FAMILY HESPERIIDA. 35 
anal extremity is annulated on the lower side with brown, and at 
the anal extremity there is a tuft of blackish hairs. 
Expanse 28 mm. 
Type in coll. Staudinger. 
Hab. Usagara, East Africa. 
This species is somewhat allied in its markings to G. aretina, 
Hew., from which, however, it is abundantly distinct. It is 
undoubtedly a good species.

Gastrocheta albiventris, Mab. MS., in Staudinger coll. 
Hab. Old Calabar (Hew.); Gaboon (Goud) ; Togoland (Karsch) ; 
Loko (Staudinger). 
I have compared the specimens in my collection with the type 
of C. aretina, Hew., and find them to be identical. The repre- 
sentation of Apaustus dolus, Ploetz, given by Karsch, is a most 
excellent representation of G. arctina, as is shown both by com- 
parison with the insect and with a carefully executed figure of 
the type made for me by Mr. Horace Knight, of London. Mons. 
Mabille identified the specimens I took with me to Paris as his 
Gastrocheta albiventris, comparing them with the type so labelled 
in the Staudinger collection, which is now again before me as I 
write. I cannot find any record of the publication of this name by 
Mons. Mabille, but it may possibly have eluded the vigilance of 
the compilers of the ‘ Zoological Record’ and others engaged in 
similar work.

Hab. Cameroons. 
This insect is not cougeneric with the type of Hypoleucis, which 
is at best a very doubtful genus. It appears to be more correctly 
referred to the genus Gorgyra. With the exception of the type 
and a single specimen contained in my collection I do not know 
of any others in the museums of the world up to the present time. 
The type is in the Staudinger collection.

the club. Palpi black on the upperside, pale yellow beneath. 
Upperside of thorax and abdomen dark brown ; lower side of thorax
