PAPILIONIN^. 
^ Like but the liind-wiiig usually with a rather broader black 
outer field, and the ochre-yellow spot at anal angle well marked or 
! even conspicuous. Under side. — Hind-iuing : red streak along suh- 
I median nervure obscured by blackish from near base ; a moderately 
wide white border between this streak and inner margin, which has 
: itself a well-marked black edging. 
I I am indebted to Mr. W. L. Distant for a tracing of Bertoloni's 
' insect and some notes on its special characters, which enabled me to 
j decide on keeping Corinneus distinct from both Pylacles, Fab., and 
j ifo7'(2?u«, Angas, and identifying it with the Antlicmcnes of Wallengren. 
I In outline the wings of Corinneus differ from those of Pijlad'^s, the 
1 fore-wings being less produced apically, and the hind-wings less so 
{ inferiorly, besides being much less prominently dentated at extremity 
: of nervules. In pattern Corinneus differs very markedly in the fore- 
; wings by the limitation of the large white patch, which does not rise 
I above the median nervure and its second branch, whereas in Pylacles 
\ it encroaches considerably on the discoidal cell, is confluent with the 
: second and third cellular spots, and also includes the much-enlarged 
sixth spot in the discal series ; the outward projection of the patch 
I between first and second median nervules is also much stronger in 
Corinneus. The head in front is white with a median black stripe, 
instead of black with two large white spots, as in Pylacles ; and on the 
j under side of the abdomen the median black streak is a character 
j wholly wanting in Pylacles, and the transverse black streaks on its 
i segmented incisions are scarcely indicated in the latter species. In 
j the black-filled discoidal cell and space between third and second 
\ median nervules, and in the black abdominal markings, Corinneus 
] approaches Morania, but in all other respects is closer to Pylades} 
The range of Corinneus is found to differ considerably from that of Pylades, 
for while the latter prevails on the Western Coast of ^^orth Tropical Africa, 
\ the former seems limited to regions (both east and west) to the south of the 
Equator, and extends to the coast of IS'atal. At Delagoa Bay it appears to be 
common, in company with the strictly Southern allied species Morania, but 
farther southward seems to be scarce. In February 1867 I captured a $ at 
Verulam, and Colonel Bowker sent another from Pinetown in 1884, while 
two specimens occurred in the collection of Natalian insects formed by my 
colleague for the Colonial and Indian Exhibition of 1886. On the confines 
of the tropic it is evidently a frequent form, many specimens from the tracts 
between the Transvaal and Zambesi having reached me from Mr. F. W. and 
Mr. H. Barber, Mr. F. C. Selous, and Mr. Eril csson.

^ From the particulars given by Dewitz {Nov. Act. Lcop. -Carol. -Deutsch. Akad. Naturf., 
I xli, pp. 187 and 209, 1879), it is quite clear that the specimens from Angola {Poggf.) and 
j Chinchoxo (Falkcnstein), recorded as Pylades, are referable to Corinneus. - ^
