314 SOUTH- AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



bordered with ground-colour ; three small fuscous spots form a short 

 transverse row near base. 



$ Similar, hni duller and iJrt/er throiiglwut. Fore-wing: costal 

 stripe wanting, but represented by some yellow irroration. 



This is a near relative of the widely spread Indo-Malayan P. 

 Augias, (Linn.), but the ^ wants the discal badge on the fore-wings of 

 the latter, as well as the extension of the yellow costal band almost to 

 apex, and the evenness and continuance of the discal row of spots 

 (which forms a band) and its radiation on nervules to hind-margin. 

 The $ Zeno also wants in the fore-wings the costal yellow beyond 

 middle of Augias ^, and her discal row of spots differs in the same 

 way, though in a less degree, as noted with regard to the $ s. On the 

 under side both sexes of the South- Afi'ican species are of a paler yellow 

 throughout, both as respects the ground-colour and the markings ; the 

 latter are better defined ; and the fuscous spots near the base of hind- 

 wings are a character wanting in Augias. 



Colonel Bowker discovered this rare species in Kaffraria Proper in 1863, and 

 sent me a (^ and tAvo $ specimens. He also captured a $ at PinetoAvn, Natal, 

 in May 1879. ^f^- -^^ T). Millar, forwarding a fine $ for identification, writes 

 (June 1888) that he took the species numerously at the foot of the Howick 

 Falls of the Umgeni, near Maritzburg, but that it is seldom seen on the coast. 

 He observed one example only at Pinetown. At Oxford, in 1867, I noted one 

 example in the Rev. H. Rowley's Zanibesian collection.
