66 DR. W. J. HOLLAND ON THE AFRICAN (Jan. 14, 
aries, and, I strongly suspect, is the insect described by M. Mabille 
as Cobalus atrio (cf. genus Cobalus). A figure of C. atrio, lent me 
by the author, heightens the probability of this supposition, but 
without the type before me I will not attempt to express a positive 
opinion. The insect in the Staudinger collection labelled Cobalus 
carbo in the handwriting of Mons. Mabille is a normal specimen 
of S. pulvina, Ploetz, ¢.

Pamphila now, Mab. C. R. Soc. Ent. Belg. 1891, p. clxviii. 
Hab. Lagos (Mabille) ; Gaboon (Good). 
This species is apparently very abundant in the valley of the 
Ogové. I have a large series of specimens.

Pamphila cinerea, Mab. MS. 
Hab. Natal, Zanzibar, Gaboon, Cameroons. 
This species is very common at Gaboon, and, I think, has 
generally been confounded with P. borbonica, from which, however, 
it may well be separated, as pointed out by Mr. Trimen. A worn 
female in the Staudinger collection has been labelled Pamphila 
cinerea by Mons. Mabille.

Pamphila marchalii, Mab., Grandid. Madagascar, vol. xviii. 
p. 362, pl. lv. figs. 3, 3. a (1887). 
Hab. Madagascar. 
Both from the figure and the description I am inclined to think 
that this species is very near to, if not identical with, P. fatuellus, 
Hopff., in which case Boisduval’s name has priority.

1855, p. 643; Peters’ Reise n. Mossamb., Ins. p. 418, pl. xxvii.

Halpe lugens, Butl. P. Z. 8. 1893, p. 673. 
Hab. Delagoa Bay, East Tropical Africa. 
The genus Halpe is not represented in Africa, and Dr. Butler's 
reference of this species to that genus is in error.
