Lond. 1893, p. 129. Hab. Tropical West Africa. SPECIES INCERT^E SEDIS. 344. PAMPHILA AURES, Mab. C. R. Soc. Ent, Belg. vol. xxvii. p. lxiv. Hab. East Africa. I have been unable to ascertain anything in reference to this species beyond what is stated in the description, and cannot from that approximate its true location. I do not recognize it from the account given by the author among the species before me in nature. 345. PAMPHILA GONESSA, Hew. Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. (4) vol. xix. p. 76. Hab. Angola. The type of this insect cannot be found in the Hewitson collection, nor does it appear in Kirby's List of that collection. I have been unable to recognize it in nature from the brief diagnosis given by the author. It does not appear to be known to any of my correspondents. 346. HESPERIA SCHULZI, Ploetz, S. E. Z. vol. xliii. p. 326. Hab. Angola. The location of this species between cerymica, Hew., and capronnieri, Ploetz, by its author would seem to imply that it is closely related to these, and if so it would probably fall in the genus Ploetzia. In the absence, however, of any more definite clue, I leave it among the species the location of which is uncertain. SPECIES POSSIBLY ERRONEOUSLY REFERRED TO THE AFRICAN FAUNA. 347. HESPERIA NASO, Fabr. ? East Indian (vide Butler, Catalogue of Fabrician Diurnal Lepidoptera, p. 271). 348. HESPERIA MANGO, Guen. Hesperia manga, Guen. Vinson's Voyage Madgr. Lep., p. 40 (S.- American). 349. HESPERIA PRODICUS, Stoll, Supplement a Cramer's Papillons Exotiques, pi. xxxiii. fig. 6 (1791). The figure suggests H. cretacea, Snell., $ , more nearly than any other African species, but if it was intended for this it is certainly very crude. The habitat is given by Stoll as the Cape of Good Hope. Mr. Trimen ignores the species in his various works upon |
