ERNEST HILL AND L. G. HAYDON. 



■\vliite at the base, a small wliite patch on the lowei* branch 

 of the first fork cell, a few white scales at the base of the 

 fork; a small white spot about the middle of the third long 

 vein, and another near its base ; one small white spot on each 

 branch of the second fork cell, and one at the base ; three 

 fair-sized white spots on the upper, and one large one on the 

 lower branch of the fifth, and two on the stem ; apex and 

 base of the sixth white, and a broadish median white spot ; 

 fringe apparently all black. 



" Length, 5"5 mm." 



This species is not frequently found in Natal, and its 

 breeding grounds appear restricted. It has occasionally 

 been found by us inland at level 2,200 ft., and rarely at sea 

 level or thereabout. The wing (PI. XXV, fig. e) corresponds 

 closely to Theobald's description, excejjt that there are pale 

 spots on the fringe opposite the terminations of all veins, 

 other than the lower branch of the first fork cell, and in one 

 instance, the sixth. The coast specimens are darker than 

 those from inland, and have one small white spot on first 

 longitudinal vein under the long black costal patch as 

 against two in inland specimens. The size varies somewhat, 

 but not so much as in f u n e s t a . 



Average length of detached wing 3'8 mm.
