  Mr. 
  R. 
  Trimen 
  on 
  some 
  recent 
  additions 
  

  

  I 
  took 
  an 
  example 
  of 
  this 
  butterfly 
  in 
  Natal 
  in 
  1867, 
  

   and 
  in 
  1871 
  received 
  another, 
  captured 
  at 
  D'Urban 
  by 
  

   the 
  late 
  Mr. 
  M. 
  J. 
  McKen. 
  I 
  regarded 
  these 
  as 
  a 
  

   probable 
  " 
  sport" 
  of 
  Liodes 
  ; 
  but 
  both 
  Major 
  D'Aguilar 
  

   and 
  Mr. 
  C. 
  N. 
  Barker 
  have 
  recently 
  (1889 
  — 
  90) 
  sent 
  me 
  

   other 
  examples, 
  taken 
  respectively 
  at 
  Maritzburg 
  and 
  

   Malvern, 
  and 
  pointed 
  out 
  their 
  distinctness 
  from 
  the 
  

   species 
  in 
  question 
  ; 
  and 
  this 
  additional 
  material 
  has 
  

   convinced 
  me 
  that 
  the 
  form 
  is 
  entitled 
  to 
  recognition 
  as 
  

   a 
  species. 
  Mr. 
  Barker's 
  two 
  specimens 
  were 
  taken 
  

   respectively 
  on 
  19th 
  January 
  and 
  3rd 
  April, 
  1890, 
  the 
  

   former 
  "on 
  Mimosa 
  flowers." 
  The 
  female 
  is 
  still 
  

   unknown 
  to 
  me.

  Not 
  nearly

  species,

   the

  nearer 
  to 
  the 
  Zeuxo 
  group.
