to me very doubtful ; and I believe that observations on 

 their transformations are about to be published which "will 

 establish them as distinct species. 



4. A. Wahlhergi, Boisd. Natal. 



5. A. Gueinzii, Stand. Natal. 



Maassen and Weymer have lately figured this species as 

 the true D'lone in their Beitrage zur Schmetterlingskunde. 

 The real Dione from West Africa is much more closely 

 allied to A. JVahlbergi. 



6. A. Rhodophiltty "Walk. Camaroons. 



Genus Argeina, Wallengr. 



1. A. 31imosce, Boisd. Natal. 



Unfortunately the larva which feeds on the Mimosa, and 

 which Avas supposed to belong to this species, is, as I have 

 been informed by Mr. H. C. Harford, of H. M.'s 77th 

 Eegiment, that of Gynanisa Maia. Saturnia Camjnonea, 

 Sign., founded on the larva, likewise refers to the latter 

 species. 



Genus EuD^MONiA, Hiibn. 



1. E. Brachyura. Dru. Sierra Leone. 



Stoll's figure certainly represents this species, as is plain 

 from the position of the spots; and the colouration of 

 Drury's Avoidd lead to the same conclusion ; but both 

 figures are very bad. The Fabrician description {Bovibyx 

 Argus) appears to apply distinctly to this, and not to the 

 following species. 



2. E. Argij^hontes (Maassen in litt.). Sierra Leone. 

 This species, described below, will be figured in the 



forthcoming Part IV of Maassen and Weymer's Beitrage 

 zur Schmetterlingskunde. 



Genus Gynanisa, Walk. 

 L G. Isis, Westw. West Africa. 

 I am informed that this is the type specimen from which 

 the figure in the Naturalist's Library was di-awn.
