LYC^NID^. 
near Grahamstown, and were kindly presented to me by Mrs. Barber. On 
the 23d of the same month I captured, at Uitenhage (on Cannon Hill), 
three males of a Lyccenesflics, which so closely corresponded with the females 
mentioned that, upon subsequent comparison, no doubt could be entertained 
of the identity of species. The males in question were flitting about and 
settling on the twigs of some bushes at the summit of the hill. A fourth 
male, taken in Somerset East district, was received from Colonel Bowker in 
1871. 
I have not seen any further examples of this dull-coloured Lycsenid in 
the collections that I have been able to examine.

long in ^ ; antennce long, slender, with a distinct elongate club, more

Thorax robust (very stout in densely downy — especially on 
breast. Fore-ioings somewhat variable in form, apically usually rather 
acute (but always less so in $ than in ; on inner-margin in $ almost 
always a tuft of stiff bristly hairs on under side before middle ; sub- 
costal nervure four-branched, and neuration quite agreeing with that 
of Aplmceus. Hind-iuings more or less produced in anal-angular 
portion — anal angle itself bearing a very prominent lobe ; a rather 
long linear tail at extremity of first median nervule, and generally a 
slight acute projection at extremity of second median nervule ; costal
