The following table exhibits, as far as known to me, the total 
representation of the Khopalocera in Extra-Tropical Southern Africa, 
and the proportion borne to it by the genera and species which appear 
to be peculiar to the Sub-Region : —

Omitting the solitary representative of the Urycinidce, it will be 
seen that the several Families almost follow their scientific order as 
regards their respective numbers of genera and species, the JSfymjyhalidce 
leading with 3 5 genera and 118 species ; Zycmnidce following with 
much fewer (15) genera, but with an almost equal number (116) of 
species ; and the Fapilionidce and Hesperidce succeeding, with the same 
number of genera (9), but with 84 and 61 species respectively. 
The genera most richly represented are two of the Family Lycccnidm^ 
viz., Lyccena (46 species) and Zeritis (28 species), and one of the 
Family Fapilionidce, viz., Teracolus (37 species). The next most 
numerous genus is the Nymphalide one of Acrcca, which has 20 South- 
African species. 
As regards endemic forms, the genera richest in them — apart from 
the six genera above mentioned as themselves peculiar to South Africa 
—are exactly those which have just been indicated as the most fully 
represented in the country, viz., Lyccena with 29, Zeritis with 23, and 
Teracolus with 22 species, which have hitherto not been recorded as 
occurring out of the Sub-Region. As regards genera, the Lyccenidce 
exhibit, both absolutely and relatively, the greater peculiarity, more than
