The four examples (one from Umtali, one from Sikuva Eiver, 

 and two from Mineni Valley) agree with the typical Transvaal 

 specimens.

Papilio cloantha, Cram. Pap. Exot. iii. t. cccxxxviii. figs. A, B 

 (1782). 



Eighteen examples (seventeen from the Mineni Valley) are 

 highly variable in the tint of the underside, five beiug of an 

 unusually dark brown. 



35. Precis ceryne (Boisd.). 



Salamis ceryne, Boisd. App. Voy. de Deleg. p. 592. n. 68 (1847). 

 Twelve specimens from the Mineni Valley and one from Lusika 

 Eiver are in all respects like typical examples from Natal. 



1 In my notes on this species (S.-Afr. Butt. i. pp. 220 and 223) I pointed 

 out the exceptionally robust structure, gradually clavate antennae, and thick 

 hairy wings of this Butterfly, in comparison with the other species of Precis. 

 Mr. Cecil N. Barker has recently reared P. cloantha from a larva found at 

 Malvern, Natal ; and, from the drawings and description he has kindly sent 

 me, it is apparent that the larva presents the peculiarity of having the two 

 rather long cephalic horns clubbed at the tip, while the pupa is much thickened 

 about the middle and is singularly smooth, wanting all the prominent pointed 

 tubercles so conspicuous dorsally and laterally in the pupae of P. octavia and 

 P. sesamus. The larva is described as golden yellow, each segment having a 

 median transverse purplish-black bar interrupted both subdorsally and on the 

 spiracular line ; the bristled spines spring from these bars ; head dull orange, 

 with an inverted V of purplish black frontally ; legs dark plum-colour with a 

 black ring about middle. The pupa is figured as greenish yellow, with a few 

 dull-purplish spots on underside of head, sides of thorax, and bases and hind 

 margins of wing-covers; abdomen with seven rows (longitudinal) of dull- 

 purplish dots. The larva was found on October 23rd, 1892 ; it began pupa- 

 tion on the 27th ; and a male imago emerged on November 11th. The food- 

 plant is not specified by name, but was a " bush herb with lilac-blue flowers."
