pupa ; in two instances only, among- tlie specimens sent Ly Colonel 

 Bowker, was the insect attached to the twigs of the fuod-plant. As 

 regards the snrl'ace of tlie pnpa, the yellow lines, V-strcaks, and minuter 

 markings admirably represent the aspect of the leaves, and ellcctually 

 conceal the insect among tlie foliage. 



The chaiacters above described as distinguishing this butterfly from 

 P. Corinncus are remarkably constant; the only sign of instability 

 that I have found among a large number of specimens being the rare 

 occurrence, in the large terminal disco-cellular spot in the fore-wings, 

 of a small, superior, blackish spot (in one instance extended into a 

 crossing streak), being the merest indication of the broad black bar 

 that in Corinneus completely divides the marking into two unequal 

 spots. 



A dwarf ^ tliat I captured at D'Urban, Xatal, in January 1867 

 expands only 2 in. 4 lin., and has the under side unusually dull. 



I did not find Morania at all numerous about D'Urban in 1S67 ; most of my 

 specimens were taken in February, but otliers occurred at tlie end of January, 

 end of jNIarch, and beginning of April. They flew low, and by no means 

 rapidly, keeping about low trees and shrubs on the edge of the woods, some- 

 times settling on leaves, but very rarely on flowers. Colonel Bowker took a 

 good many examples in November; he sent me the sexes netted in coimid in 

 March 1879. 



The known range of this sjiecies is much more restricted than tliat of 

 Corinneus, being apparently limited to the South-East Coast from Natal to 

 Delagoa Lay.
