Hah, South Africa, Togoland. 



Through the kindness of Dr. Karsch I have been permitted to 

 have a carefully drawn figure of his Hesperia mucorea executed by 

 Herr Prilhvitz, and it proves upon comparison with typical speci- 

 mens of the male of P. dysmephila, received from Mr. Trimen, to 

 be the same. The absence of the white line upon the underside 

 of the secondaries, which is so conspicuous in tlie female, and is 

 brought out characteristically in the figure given by Mr. Trimen, is 

 calculated to mislead the student who is not aware of this differ- 

 ence in the marking of the sexes.

Mr. Trimen is quite right in his surmise expressed on p. 329 of 

 the third vol. of his ' S. African Butterflies.' '

This species is stated by the author to be very closely allied to 

 P. dysmephila. Trim. The type was unique.
