140 SOUTH-AFEICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



^ Much resembling a small example of Achine $. IVliite or 

 ycUoivish ; the orange of apical patch varying from dull-orange to dull- 

 yellowish or whitish, and traversed near its inner border by a strongly 

 marked black bar ; blackish longitudinal sti'ipes, and discal ray and 

 hind-marginal spots of hind-wing, moderately developed. Under side. 

 — Hind-iving and apical patch of fore-win^ much darker than in $, 

 closely hatched and irrorated with fuscous. Fore-iving : base more or 

 less strongly suffused with pale-yellow ; inner-marginal stripe dusky- 

 grey, darker at its extremity. Hind- wing : angulated discal ray mode- 

 rately developed. 



This appears to be a distinct little species, combining some of the characters 

 of Theogone, Boisd., and Achine, Cram. I made the foregoing description from 

 the types in the British Museum, -which are the only specimens that I have 

 seen, and are noted as from tlie north-east of Natal, collected by the late Mr. 

 E. C. Buxton. The form and size of the apical patch and its bordering, and 

 the under-side colouring, in the $ are very similar to the same characters in 

 the (J Theogone; but the corresponding features in the $ approximate more 

 closely to those of Achine $ .

^ White, tvith apical pittteli of orange-red narrow, curved, very broadly 

 hlaek-bordcred, cspccicdly on its inner edge. Fore-wing : base sparsely but 

 usually widely irrorated with blackish ; costa narrowly black-edged 

 to about middle ; a distinct but thin terminal disco-cellular black dot ; 

 apical red divided into sis unequal portions by crossing black nervules, 

 — the second portion linear, very small, and the lowest often smaller 

 than the remainder ; outer black border of red broad and even, and 

 prolonged (usually more narrowly) to posterior angle, — inner black
