324 SOUTH-AFRICAX BUTTERFLIES. 



on the upper side, but lias less olivaceous suffusion from bases and a 

 darker ground-colour, while on the under side it differs more widely 

 than does the $ in respect of its want of the olivaceous-yellow, espe- 

 cially in those specimens where the sub-violaceous gloss and the whitish 

 median fascia of the hind-wings are best expressed. Moreover, the 

 shape of the wings is in both sexes different from that observable in 

 Borhonica, — the fore-wings being less produced and blunter at the apex, 

 and the hind-wings at the anal angle. 



I first met with this species at D'Urban, Natal, in August 1865, and sub- 

 sequently in the summer of 1867 captured a good many examples there. 

 Colonel Bowker has sent me a number of specimens from the same neighbour- 

 hood and iMr. A. D. Millar notes the species as common there. It flits about 

 grass and low plants, and constantly visits flowers, Vi7ica rosea being its 

 favourite in the Botanic Gardens at D'Urban.

$ Glossy-brown, with a dense clothing of dull olivaceous-yeUoio 

 hairs and scales over hasi-inner-marginal area of fore-wing and all hind- 

 wing except a broad costal and apical and narrow hind-marginal border ; 

 a well-onarked discal series of vitreous spots in fore-iving, and a few small 

 ones hi hind-wing. Fore-iving : apical half sparsely scaled with oliva- 

 ceous-yellow ; ill discoidcd cell, close to extremity, two smcdl vitreous spots, 

 one cdiove the other ; discal series of spots much as in Borbonica, but not 

 so sharply angulated, the spots considerably smaller (but not so small as 

 in Fatuclhis, Hopflf.), and, in place of the lowest one, a narrow straight 

 obliquely transverse streak from first median nervule to submedian ner- 

 vure. Hind-wing : discal spots minute, often indistinct, varying in 

 number from one to five, lying between first subcostal and first median
