 $ Bright chromc-yelloiv, of variable depth and brightness ; ivitk 

 strowjly-marhed Hack borders to both wings. Fore-wing : base powdered 

 with blackish ; a black border from base along costa, gradually widen- 

 ing to apex, where it is very broad, and thence narrowing to anal angle, 

 where it is about one line in breadth, the inner edge of its hind- 

 marginal portion slightly scalloped, forming small acute projections on 

 nervules. Hind-wing : blackish at base and along submedian nervure 

 to a little before middle ; a black band along hind-margin, widest in 

 apical portion (but even there not or very slightly broader than the 

 anal-angular portion of band in fore- wing), and gradually diminishing to 

 anal angle, where it ends in a point. Cilia of fore- wing fuscous, slightly 

 mixed with pale-yellow,— of hind-wing all pale-yellow. Under side. — 

 Citron- ycUoiv. Fore-wing: at extremity of discoidal cell, a double 

 narrow blackish line including the yellow disco-cellular nervule, occa- 

 sionally almost obsolete ; the broad border of upper side indicated by 

 a greenish tint, sparsely irrorated with blackish atoms ; in some speci- 

 mens an indistinct, blackish, oblique stria near apex ; small black dots 

 at extremities of nervules ; inner-marginal portion of wing paler than 

 the rest. Eind-iuing : more or less irrorated with blackish atoms ; a 

 transverse series of three blackish dots, sometimes yellow-centred, near 

 base ; an indistinct, blackish line, like that in fore-wing, at extremity 

 of discoidal cell; beyond middle two or three faint-blackish, inter- 

 rupted, obliquely transverse streaks (often scarcely perceptible), ^the 

 first on costa, only reaching subcostal nervure ; the second, widely 

 interrupted on median nervules, almost crossing the whole wing ; the 

 third, on median nervules ; black dots on hind-margin as in fore-wing ; 

 occasionally a small rounded blackish spot close to base, between costal 

 and subcostal nervules. 



$ VerT/ much paler, varying from pale lemon-yellow to p)rimrose- 

 yellow, more or less densely and generally irrorated loith blackish atoms; 

 dark border in both wings of a duller black, -in hind-wing more or 

 less suffused, and sometimes submacular, or actually broken into neryu- 

 lar spots contiguous only near apex. Fore-iving : blackish irroration 

 densest in basal half, thinner (or sometimes wanting) in discal area; 

 dark border commencing farther from base, and broadly interrupted 

 with irrorated ground-colour between first median nervule and sub- 

 median nervure, so that a well-marked terminal blackish spot is isolated 



1 A dwarf 9 , captured at Pinetown, Natal, by Colonel Bowker, e.xpauds only an inch 

 across the wings.
