202 SOUTH-AFKICAX BUTTERFLIES. 



marginal edge ; discoidal cell crossed by three almost equidistant mode- 

 rately wide bars (of wliiL-h tlie middle and outer ones are more or less 

 slightly bisinuated), commencing close to costal edge, but not extending 

 beyond median nervure ; in upper part of cell, close to its extremity, a 

 small spot, immediately surmounted by a much smaller one above costal 

 nervure ; a little beyond cell, two similarly placed but smaller spots, 

 the lower of which immediately surmounts second spot of discal band ; 

 spots of this incurved band, eight, all separate except the two lowest, 

 which form a large irregular marking (between first median nervule 

 and inner margin), emitting inwardly a narrow upward projection, 

 almost meeting lower extremity of first disco-cellular base ; first three 

 spots of discal band moderate-sized, quadrate, — the first beyond the 

 rest, — next three increasing in size downward, inwardly rounded, out- 

 wardly truncate ; spots of submarginal series pretty even in size, but 

 in form the first three are roughly rounded, while the rest are lunu- 

 late. Hind-v'ing : basal band directed obliquely, short, attenuated to 

 a point just below median nervure ; below it, along inner-marginal 

 fold, a streak of white scales, sometimes prolonged to anal angle ; sub- 

 basal band wider than in fore-wing, continuous, obliquely running from 

 costa to between first and second median nervules, near anal angle, 

 where it abruptly and bluntly terminates, — its commencement white 

 as far as subcostal nervure ; discal band commencing broadly on costa, 

 narrowing and the spots becoming more distinctly separated and 

 rounded downward, strongly angulated between second and third 

 median nervules ; the first and second spots forming one large costal 

 marking, which is white as far as subcostal nervure ; the last spot 

 smallest, lunulate, a little beyond extremity of sub-basal band ; at anal 

 angle, below and a little before last-named spot, a small bright crimson- 

 red spot ; six lanules of submarginal series irregular, sublinear — the 

 first rather indistinct, — the fourth, fifth, and sixth immediately suc- 

 ceeded externally by ill-defined whitish-grey scaling, broadly lunulate 

 in form ; cilia white between third median nervule and anal angle, 

 except about extremities of nervules and along superior edge of tail ; 

 tail rather broad, long, nearly straight, black, rather widely tipped with 

 white. Under side. — Much iicdcr, glistening, dull-broum ; main 'pat- 

 tern similar, hut viarld.ngs generally rather ivider ; discal land and 

 submarginal viacular scries grcenish-ivhite ; space hetwcen t/iese mostly 

 hoary-grey ; in hind-ioing, narroiv brown space between sub-basal band, 

 (also greenish-white) and disced hand outwardly bordered tliroughout, 

 from costa to anal angle, by a sublinear series of eight dull crimson-red 

 marks internally white-edged and externcdly fuscous-edged. Fore-wing : 

 space between discal band and submarginal macular series brown 

 from costa to fifth subcostal nervure, and blackish-brown from second 

 median nervule to inner margin ; submarginal series inwardly thinly 

 brown-edged and enclosed by hoary-grey, which narrowly extends to 

 apex. Hind-wing .• basal band wider, white, and narrowly extending
