directly onward ; and the outer submarginal streak is much fainter and 
far more regular in its dentation. 
The single specimen of ^ Coranus is no larger than a full-sized ^ 
of the Var. A. of Alcimeda : the features in which it differs from the 
latter and approximates the $ Ccenis are, on the upper side, (i) the 
absence of the disco-cellular white transverse mark in the fore-wiiigs, 
and (2) the greater development of the subcostal white bar beyond the 
cell ; (3) the greater width of the discal white band on inner margin 
©f the fore-wings, and (4) the absence in both wings of the orange 
^ hind-marginal spots; while, on the under side, (5) it has none of the 
ferruginous tint, but is of a grey even paler than in Ccenis, and (6) has 
the white band much wider and outwardly very vaguely defined. The 
characters in which it approaches the % Alcimeda Yar. are its small 
size and the shortness and comparative bluntness of the indistinct 
black submarginal spots of the upper side, which, although hastate, are 
only about half as long, and not nearly so acute, as in Ccenis. 
This is the insect mentioned in the text (p. 312) as taken by 
Colonel Bowker in Natal. I hesitated to describe it from a solitary 
and imperfect $ example ; but having since received a perfect $ and a 
passable $ from Zululand (where they were taken by Captain A. M. 
Goodrich, of the Eoyal Inniskilling Fusiliers), I am now able to give 
its distinctive characters. Colonel Bowker s specimen was captured at 
Pinetown in June 1883; in sending it to me, he remarked on its large 
size and other differences from Alcimeda, and noted that it had the 
same flight and habits as the latter. Captain Goodrich took his speci- 
mens at Etshowe, — the $ in ISTovember 1886, and the $ in April 1887; 
he informed me that there was nothing noticeable in their behaviour 
to distinguish them from E. Alcimeda^ Yar. A., which occurred in the 
same locality.
