142 SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
$ represented by Cramer exhibits a very strong orange-red edging all ' 
along the costa of the hind-wings on the under side, but I have not 
observed anything approaching this in the specimens I have examined. 
After a very careful inspection and comparison of Mr. Butler's 
types of T. Pseudocale and T. Angolensis (in 1881 and again in 1886), I 
I could find nothing (except the smaller size of the former) to distin- 
guish the two from each other, nor was I able to regard them as dis- 
tinct from the variable Evip'pe. The $ in both cases has in the apical 
patch a narrow pale-orange five-partite band."^ 
Evippe is the oldest recorded species of the genus, the $ having been 
described by Linnaeus from Angola in 1764 ; and it is one of the comparatively 
few Teracoli which are known from the West-African Coast north of the 
Equator, appearing to be very numerous on the Gold Coast and at Sierra Leone. 
The only South- African examples that I have seen are those taken by the late 
Mr. E. C. Buxton in Swaziland, and presented by him to the British Museum. 
They consist of a , referred by Mr. Butler to Arethusa, Drury, and three $ s 
(two small) and two $ s (one small), which constitute the types of his Pseudo- 
cale. In the coloured photographs sent to me by Mr. Buxton there can be 
distinctly recognised four ^-s, (two small) and a $ of Evipjge, and in his num- 
bered list accompanying them all these examples are noted as from Swaziland. 
I have no record of the haunts or habits of this butterfly.

1 I think that Ocalc, Boisd. {op. ciL, p. 584, n. 37), of which only the ? is described, is 
referable to Evippe; it is described as possessing a curved orange band of five or six divi- 
sions in apical patch, but has the discal ray of the hind-wings more or less merged with the 
hind-marginal black border. The specimens of both sexes referred to Ocale in the British 
Museum collection (October 1886) seemed identical with Angolensis, Butl.
