Show 850 DR. A. G. BUTLER ON [Nov. 16, 81. IOLAUS PHILIPPUS, Fabr. Tugela Biver, near Weenen, 2500 feet, 1st and 11th November, 1896. I see no reason for distinguishing this species from Iolaus at present, and until Lepidopterists are agreed as to the type of Hypolyccena,-whether 77. tmolus, or H. sipylus-I prefer to leave I. philippus where it is in the Museum collection. 82. IOLAUS PALLENE, Wallgr. Tugela Biver, near Weenen, 2500 feet, 3rd and 9th November, 1896. The Natal examples are decidedly smaller than those from Nyasaland. 83. IOLAUS MIMOSAE, Trimen. Tugela Biver, near Weenen, 2500 feet, 5th November, 1896. Allied to 7". umbrosa and /. nursel, especially to tbe latter; but I cannot see in it much affinity to I. ceres. I. tajorlca, Walker (apparently from Tajoura, Tripoli), may belong to the same group, but it appears only to have one augle to the transverse discal line on the under surface of secondaries and one or two lines which do not occur in the other species. 84. ARGIOLAUS SILAS, Hewits. 3, Tugela Biver, 2500 feet, 5th November, 1896. 85. STUGETA BOWKERI, Trimen. 2 , Tugela Biver, 2500 feet, near Weenen, 5th November, 1896. 86. MYLOTHRIS AGATHINA, Cramer. 3 3 , Durban (labelled " Pieris thysa " ) , 7th August; Malvern, 800 feet, 10th August, 1896. 87. COLIAS EDUSA and var. ELECTRA, Linn. Ulundi, 5000 feet, 19th September ; Estcourt, 4000 feet, 28th and 30th September, 3rd, 5th, 13th, and 17th October, 22nd, 26th, 28th, and 30th November ; Tugela Biver, near Weenen, 2500 feet, 1st and 9th November; Frere, 3800 feet, 4th, 5th, and 6th December, 1896. Among tbe thirty-one examples forwarded several are absolutely identical with typical " C. edusa"; though, strictly speaking, I believe this species ought to be called C. hyale, a name first given to its female by Linnaeus. 88. TERIAS BRIGITTA, Cramer. Dry form, $, Malvern, 8th August; intermediate o* > 10th August; wet form, 16th August; Estcourt, 27th September ; $, intermediate, 8th October ; 6*, wet, 21st November -, 3 3 2 •> Frere, 6th and 9th October, 1896; 3 3, Karkloof, 13th and 15th February, 1897. |
