NOTES ON SOME OE THE SPECIES. 
2. Danaida chrysippus alcippus (Cramer).- — The Transvaal 
specimens have the white suffusion on the hindwing less developed 
than is the case in specimens from Natal. 
•3. Danaida chrysippus dorippus (Klug). — A very rare species in 
South Africa. The only Transvaal specimen in the Museum 
Collection differs from the East African examples in the darker and 
duller ground colour, the much deeper black of the border and the 
white spots on forewing being smaller. 
4. Amauris niavius dominicanus Trimen.— Restricted to the 
eastern and north-eastern parts of the Transvaal, and even there far 
from common. 
6. Amauris echeria (Stoll). — With the variety albimaculata 
restricted to the eastern parts of the Transvaal. 
8. Melanitis leda (Linnaeus).— A rare species in the higher parts 
of the Transvaal, but, according to Mr. G. W. Jeffery, common at 
Barberton. 
11. Mycalesis ena Hewitson. — I had previously put the specimens 
in the Museum Collection as M. (?) selousi, on account of it differing 
from that species by its prominent ocelli and also in a few minor 
points. But after 1 have seen the remarks made by Mr. G. A. K. 
Marshall and Dr. Butler, as published in the Proc. Zool. Soc., 1898, 
p. 903, I am now almost certain that our specimens belong to the 
Mycalesis ena Hew., although I have not been able to compare them 
with the original description. 
12. Mycalesis safitza Hewitson. — ££ Fairly common in the Bar- 
berton District” (G. W. Jeffery); Eastern Transvaal (Butler, Proc. 
Zool. Soc., 1898). 
14. Henotesia perspicua Butler. — Fairly common in the eastern 
and northern parts of the Transvaal ; also from Crocodile River, south 
of Magaliesberg (teste H. L. L. Feltham). “ Very common in the 
Barberton District.”- — G. W. Jeffery. 
15. Henotesia perspicua simonsii Butler. — I have followed 
Marshall, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1896, p. 562, in treating H. 
.simonsii as a form of H. perspicua. 
16. Meneris tulbaghia (Linnaeus). — Mr. A. T. Cooke writes: — 
££ The latest date I have known it to be taken was 20tli April.” 
24. Pseudonympha cassius (Godt.) — Shilouvane specimens from 
H. A. Junod, also in Mr. H. L. L. Feltham’s collection. 
34. Acraea burni Butler. — ££ Nelspruit, very local. These are 
found sailing round and round the trees by the Crocodile River, and 
are easy of capture.” — A. T. Cooke. 
££ I have seen one taken by Mr. Ochse at Bertrams, Johannes- 
burg.” — H. L. L. Feltham. 
36. Acraea neobule Doubleday. — Fairly common all through 
the Transvaal. 
41. A craea asema Hewitson. — Mr. H. L. L. Feltham considers 
two specimens — a male and female — m his collection, which he 
received from Rev. H. A. Junod, and labelled Shilouvane, 
££ undoubtedly A. asema Hew.” Whether A. asema is not a form 
of A. violarum, as already hinted at by Aurivillius, I would prefer 
to leave an open question till such time when we possess more material 
from different localities. Mr. Trimen, S. Afr. Buttfl., 1, p. 26, has
