I know nothing of this species. Mr. Kirby's reference to 

 Erijnnis leads me to place it here. Mr. Butler could not find the 

 type in the British Museum. 1 fear that in 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 Trajjezites, in the strict sense, is 

 confined to the Australian region. Unfortunately I have not 

 sullicient 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.
