females which are absolutely inseparable from females of 

 0. Iwitentota received from Mr. Triraen and taken at the Cape, 

 It is worthy of note that all specimens of O. liottentola taken in 

 Angola and northward, so far as they have come under my obser- 

 vation (I have seen several hundreds of specimens from various 

 localities), are prevalently smaller than specimens from the Cape.

JIah. Angola, Gaboon, Liberia, and tropical West Coast of 

 Africa generally. 



This species is excessively common about Gaboon, and, as I 

 have remarked under G. Jwttentota, appears to be a dimorphic form 

 of that species. Typical hottentota occurs in company with it at 

 the same places, and the females are absolutely indistinguishable.

 pi. liv. figs. 2, 2 a (1887). 



ffab. Madagascar, Natal (in coll. Staudinger). 



The specimen labelled P. albiguita by Mabille in the Staudinger 

 collection is from Natal. It is badly rubbed and worn, but shows 

 likeness to ray subochracea (see p. 56). It is doubtfully the insect 

 figured in Grandidier's ' Madagascar.' 



204. G. (?) GAMBioA, Mab. 



Pamphila gambiea, Mab. Pet. Nouv. Ent. vol. ii. p. 233 (1878). 



Hab. Senegambia. 



I place this species here without any knowledge of it other than 

 that derived from the description, in which the author states that 

 it is very near G. hottentota, Latr. 



205. G. (?) ocouLTA, Trim. 



Pamphila occulta, Trim. P.Z.S. 1891, p. 103. 



Hab. South-western Africa, Transvaal. 



I place this species here provisionally. Mr. Trimen states that 

 it is allied in some respects to G. hottentota, but fails to describe 

 the antennae and palpi, without a knowledge of which the generic 

 location must be temporarily doubtful. It may turn out to be a 

 Parnara or a Baoris.
