vule or to submediau nervure ; basal blackish irroration very sparse, 

 but inferiorly extending widely ; blackish spots of hind-marginal series 

 always greatly larger than in $, and acuminate inwardly on uervules, — 

 sometimes so much developed as to form a broad border only inter- 

 rupted by crossing lines of the ground-colour on inter-nervular folds. 

 Under side. — Hind-iving and ajjical area of fore-wing usually rather 

 duller and more ochreous than in $. Fore-iving : inner-marginal area 

 whitish ; terminal disco-cellular spot not so black or so sharply defined 

 as on upper side, — the nervule traversing it often yellowish- white ; 

 discal macular series indistinctly marked except the two largest spots. 

 Hind-iuing : discal macular ray only indicated by some very faint 

 dull reddish-grey marks ; a good- sized terminal disco-cellular rounded 

 whitish spot in a thin reddish-grey ring. 



Dimorphic Form of $. — Orange of apical jMich obsolete, the only 

 traces of it being some scales on nervules and inter-nervular folds ; 

 ground-colour yellowish-white; discal blackish markings smaller and 

 more separate than usual. 



{Hah. — Kaffraria Proper and Natal.) 



Variety A. $ and $. — $ Yellowish-white except for a tinge of 

 sulphur-yellow along inner edge of apical patch. Fore-icing: costal 

 edge very finely black, its border scarcely irrorated with grey ; apical 

 hind-marginal border more bluntly indenting the orange on nervules, 

 its lower extremity forming a smaller blackish mark below the orange. 

 Hind-wing : spotless ; in one example only with the faintest possible 

 indication of minute hind-marginal nervular spots. Under side. — 

 Much paler than in type ; inner-marginal area of fore-wing white. 

 Fore-wing : base tinged with sulphur-yellow. Hind-iving : in two 

 specimens, some small faint reddish-brown spots, far apart, indicate 

 position of a discal ray. 



^ Ground-colour as in ^ ; markings as in type, except that hind- 

 marginal spots of hind-wing appear to be always rather small and 

 widely separate. Under side. — Paler than in type. 



One $ and two $ s of this variety to some extent approximate to 

 Topha, Wallengr., having the under side of the hind-wing and apical 

 area of fore-wing tinted with pale reddish-creamy, which in the $ s 

 is speckled with dark-grey. 



{ffah. — North-West Transvaal and Eastern Tropical South Africa.) 



The type-specimens of Sgrtinus, Butl., in the collection of the 



British Museum appeared to me to be pale, rather worn ^ s of Aitxo, 



slightly approaching the variety just described. They were ticketed 



" Senegal " and " Lake Nyassa." 



Auxo differs from Frame, Klug,^ which is itself a very near ally 



of the Indian Fucharis, Fab., in its general yellow ground-colour, 



which in both sexes of Fvarne is confined to the fore-wings, and is 



there very much paler, especially in the $. The $ Auxo has the apical
