78 MB. E. TRIMEN ON BUTTERFLIES FROM [Jan. 16, 



153. Pamphila ronctlgonis (Plotz). 



Hesperia roncilr/onis, Plotz, Stett. ent. Zeit. 1882, pp. 450-51. 



$ 2 . Pamphila roncilgonis, Trim. Trans. Eut. Soc. Lond. 

 1893, p. 139, pi. viii. fig. 11 [ 6 ]• 



Fourteen examples, three only of which are females, from 

 Umtali (1), Christmas Pass (1), Mineni Valley (4), Lopodzi River 

 (1), and Vunduzi River (7). All these specimens are more or less 

 worn, the best being from the last-named locality (5th to 12th 

 April). 



The females differ from the Delagoa Bay example described by 

 me (I.e. pp. 140-41) in wanting the minute additional transparent 

 spot in the fore wings between the 5th subcostal and upper radial 

 nervules ; and the largest and freshest of them also is nearer to the 

 male in the fulvous-ochreous violaceous-glossed hind wings and 

 apex of fore wings on the underside. 



Mr. Selous notes this species as chiefly observed on flowers — 

 especially on the tall spikes of blue flowers above mentioned as 

 attracting so many Lyccmidce. One specimen was captured while 

 drinking at the water's edge.
