aud ahdomcii above Llackisli, beneath creamy-yellow ; the former above 

 with some pale-yellowish hairs frontally, laterally, and posteriorly ; the 

 latter above with last four segmental incisions aud terminal tuft yel- 

 low, beneath whitish edged on each side by a series of small black 

 spots. Zcfjs with femora aud tibiiu j^ellow tipped with black, and tarsi 

 brownish scaled with yellowish- white. 



$ Like $, but rather paler ; the wings blunter — the fore-wing not 

 so pointed apically, and the hind-wing less prominent about anal angle. 



A very distinct species, well characterised by its pronounced and 

 sharply-defined spotting on the upper side, and by the conspicuous 

 black spots and streaks of the under side. 



Mr. W. S. M. D'Uiban first made known to rue this pretty species; lie 

 took a single example at King William's Town on the 8th December i860. 

 Colonel Bowker has since forwarded several specimens from Kafi"raria Proper 

 and the Coast Districts of Natal ; it does not appear to be at all numerous in the 

 latter region, and during my visit in 1867 I fell in with but one specimen, on 

 2ist March, between Itongati and Verulam. At Piiietown Colonel Bowker 

 took the species in December 1S84. Only four $s have reached me, the 

 largest bein" from Delagoa Bay.
