256 SOUTn-AFRICAX BUTTERFLIES. 



separated from It by black nervure ; the sexual discal coating of hairs 

 somewhat woolly, specially apparent on median and radial nervules 

 separating spots of band ; cilia with very minute white inter-nervular 

 dots, except just below apex, where a very small white spot on hind- 

 marginal edge (between third and fourth subcostal nervules) with 

 adjoining white cilia is rather conspicuous. Hind-win{i : band median, 

 but nearer to base than to hind-margin, its inner edge sharply defined, 

 nearly straight, — its outer edge somewhat beyond middle, rather dif- 

 fused, pierced slightly by black inter-nervular rays ; a series of six 

 conspicuous, moderate-sized, more or less rounded spots (each crossed 

 by inter-nervular fold), usually touching, but sometimes just separate 

 from, white marks of cilia, which are very much larger than in fore- 

 wing ; the first and second of the hind-marginal spots smaller than the 

 rest. Under side. — Outer half of hind-wing and apiccd area of fore- 

 iving dark ochreous-hroiLm ; in hind-wing, median hand greatly reduced, 

 and space between it and base dull yellow-ochreous tvith black markings. 

 Fore-iving : ground brownish-fuscous ; most spots of band larger, on 

 each side more rounded, less widely separated than on upper side, — 

 the second spot almost obsolete and (together with the first, which is 

 indistinctly defined) confused with some oblique greyish-white ill- 

 defined apical clouding; subcostal nervure at base edged beneath by 

 white scaling. Hind-iving : band greatly narrowed, its outer half 

 (except on costa) being obscured by pale-brownish, and further pierced 

 by inter-nervular brown rays and marked by two brown striae in dis- 

 coidal cell ; basal yellow-ochreous with the crossing nervures, a rounded 

 spot, and thick end of ray between costal and subcostal nervures, a 

 three-branched disco-cellular streak, and thick ends of rays on each 

 side of subraedian nervure, all black ; a small white spot at origin of 

 median and submedian nervures ; just above radial nervule, about 

 midway between end of cell and hind-margin, an ovate whitish spot, 

 variable in size and definition ; hind-marginal spots much smaller than 

 on upper side, — the third distinctly elongated in direction of discal 

 spot, and the lower ones usually distinctly divided by blackish inter- 

 nervular rays. 



Head and body above black. Head with basal and terminal joints 

 (hirsute) of palpi, a pair of frontal and three pairs of vertical spots, 

 and a spot outwardly edging each eye, yellowish-white. Thorax above 

 with two pairs of similar spots on prothorax, and another pair (larger 

 and hirsute) on pterygodes ; breast black, with nine or ten large ochre- 

 yellow, yellowish, and yellowish-white spots on each side ; legs black, 

 with the femora whitish or yellowish in front. Abdomen laterally 

 dusky-brownish ; inferiorly pale-yellowish or yellowish-white, with two 

 parallel longitudinal streaks and segmental incisions black.
