I have in my possession most beautifully executed dravifings of 

 the D)ale and female of the insect recently described by my valued 

 friend Mr. Butler as Padraona tvatsoni, but I am utterly 

 unable to detect any differences of specific value between this 

 form and typical specimens of P. zeno which I have received from 

 Mr. Trimen. 



A specimen of Pamphila splendens, Mab., so labelled by the late 

 Mr. Hewitson, which is found in Dr. Staudinger's collection, 

 confirms the view I had reached by the study of Mabille's 

 description that it is the same as P, zeno, Trimen.

Hab. Delagoa. 



This species is known to me only by the copy of the figure of 

 Ploetz, which I have been permitted to examine through the 

 courtesy of Mons. Mabille. Judging from this representation, it 

 is a not distant ally of P. zeno, Trimen, differing principally in the 

 narrower fulvous markings of the upperside, and the darker 

 colour of the underside of the wings, which in the drawing are 

 quite black except at the base of the wings. The fulvous spots 

 stand out in bold contrast upon this dark ground.
