tlie fore-wing a longitudinal white streak in the basal region, which is 
wholly wanting in Philaiicler. On the under side the hoary-grey violet- 
glossed hind-wing is very different from the pure-white brown- bordered 
surface in Fliilander, although the general pattern of the marking is 
similar. In outline of wings Produda resembles Pamphila hoThonica, 
Boisd., but the elongation is more pronounced in the former. The 
palpi, thorax, and abdomen are white beneath, as in Philander, but the 
sides and middle of the back of the abdomen are not white, there being 
only fine white lines marking the segmental divisions. 
The four examples I have seen appear to be ^ s, viz., the one in the 
Hewitson Collection above mentioned ; another kindly lent to me by Mr. H, 
Grose Smith ; a third received in August 1884 by the South- African Museum ; 
and a fourth captured at Kimberley on 5th March 1887 by Mr. H. L. L. Teltham. 
The three former examples were collected by Mrs. Monteiro at Delagoa Bay.

Imago. — Head not quite as broad as thorax, shortly but densely 
pilose above, a compact tuft (very short in some species) near base of 
each antenna ; j^^^^V^ with basal and middle joints broad, densely and 
compactly scaly and hairy, — terminal joint usually short (very short 
in Zamlesina, longest in Zevuhtc), slender, blunt, clothed with very 
short appressed hairs, horizontally porrected ; antennm short, rather 
thick, with a rather suddenly-formed, elongate, cylindrical, bluntly- 
tipped club, sharply (in Levuhu gently) recurved. 
Thorax robust (less so in Levubit), shorter than abdomen ; above 
scaly, with close down anteriorly, and longish hair laterally and pos- 
teriorly, — beneath with dense short hair. Fore-wings rather narrow, 
elongate apically ; costa nearly straight (in $ more arched at base than 
in ; hind-margin very slightly concave just above posterior angle ; 
inner margin nearly straight, very slightly hollowed beyond middle ; 
discoidal cell narrow, about two-thirds length of wing; middle and 
lower disco-cellular nervules well developed, inwardly oblique; lower
