This is one of the fine species of insects contained in the 
collection recently brought to England by Mr. Burke, from the 
hilly country, lying between 25° and 26° S. lat., and 27° and 
28° E. long., and which, by the kindness of the Earl of Derby has 
been distributed to the Zoological Society and the British Museum, 
I am indebted to Mr. Melly for the opportunity of figuring 
the species, he having sent it to me on its first arrival in this 
country. 
The plant represented in this plate is the Iris viscarea of 
Tliunberg, found in the sandy spots of Saldanha Bay, near the 
Cape of Good Hope.
