jM'ovc to be identical. Tlie markings of the " wet-season " specimens of this species, 

 in the Natural History Museum, seem to be fairly constant in both sexes, those of 

 the '■ intermediate " phase being less heavily marked with black in both males and 

 females, the latter var3'ing somewhat as regards the black band on the orange apical 

 area of the fore-wing ; one female from the " Cape of Good Hope " having the usual 

 white ground-colour replaced by pale yellow, with a broad brownish-black band 

 traversing the orange apical area on the primaries. 



The males of the '"dry-season" form (2! (jalaflihtiix, Butl.) have much less black 

 on the wings. The females vary considerably, the majority having the usual orange 

 marks on the primaries, while some exhibit some ochraceous hastate marks, and one 

 example has the entire apical area black.
