SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
Rhopalocera, p. 40j note i. 
Terias Hecdbe should be withdrawn from the list of species extending 
beyond the African Region, as I think the South- African representative distinct, 
and have named it T. Butleri. (See vol. iii. p. 23.) On the other hand, 
Lyccena Telicanus is to be added to this list, so that the number, thirteen, 
remains unaltered. 
Family NYMPHALIDiE. 
Sub-Family DANAIN^. 
Genus DANAIS, p. 51, line 14. 
I overlooked a third African species, viz., D. formosa, Godman (Proc. Zool 
Soc. Lond.y 1880, p. 183, pi. xix. f. i), brought from the mainland opposite 
Zanzibar by Mr. J. T. Last. It is related to the variety of D. Limniace, men- 
tioned in the text, but has the singular feature of a large rufous-ochreous basal 
patch occupying nearly half the area of the fore-wings, while in the hind-wings 
the basal third is whitish crossed by strongly black- clouded nervures. 
It is most interesting to find that this remarkable Danais, which combines 
to some extent the coloration of the Limniace and Clirysippus groups, is un- 
questionably mimicked (as M. Oberthiir has pointed out in Ann. Soc. Ent. de 
France, 1886, p. cxiv.) by the larger Papilio Rex, Oberth. {loc. cit., and Mudes 
d'Ent., liv. 12, pi. i. f. 2, 1888), which inhabits the same part of East Africa, 
and is a very isolated form, recalling both P. Antimachus and P. AntenoVj but 
not nearly related to either. 
Danais Chrysippus, p. 54? line 10 from bottom of page. 
Mr. Meldola (Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., 5th Ser., 1. p. 158, 1878) notes 
the significant fact that in Australia, where I). Chrysippus does not occur, the 
' $ of Argynnis Niphe (var. inconstans) is like the ^ . 
Amauris Eclieria, p. 5 9, line 2 I . 
Plotz (Stett. Ent. Zeit., xli. p. 189, 1880) notes five examples taken at 
Victoria, on the mainland, just opposite Fernando Po, by Dr. Buchholz, but 
does not state whether they differed from typical Eclieria. 
Additional locality : — Transvaal : Barberton ( /. P. Cloete). 
The single specimen received from Mr. Cloete is of the typical yellow- 
spotted form.
