2. On a Collection of Butterflies made in Manica, Tropical 

 South-east Africa, by Mr. F. C. Selous, in the year 

 1892. By Roland Trimen, F.R.S., &c._, Curator of the 

 South- Africau Museum, Cape Town \ 



[Received November 13, 1893.] 



(Plates IV.-VI.) 



In cornmunicatiug to the Zoological Society this account of what 

 1 believe to be the first collection of Butterflies made in the 

 Manica Country, I am fortunate in being able to preface it by the 

 following interesting sketch of that hitherto very little-known 



1 Mr. A. G. Butler, who, in Mr. Trimen's absence, has kindly corrected the 

 proofs of this paper, sends the subjoined remarks : — 



" I think it would be well to call your attention to the fact that Mr. Trimen 

 has unwittiugly redescribed some of the species recorded in my paper on 

 Mr. Johnston's collections from Nyasaland (P. Z. S. 1893, p. 643) not yet pub-

 only a slight variety of my C. whytei {op. cit. p. 649) , Lyciena exclusa (p. 47) 

 is evidently the male of my Castalius hypoleucus (op. cit. p. 660) [N.B. Trimen 

 does not adopt the modern genera proposed for the Lycceninee] ; Cyclopides
