356 SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



The $ seems to be very seldom met with : the specimen figured 

 was taken w cojndd on 3d September 1878, by Colonel Bowker, at 

 D' Urban, Natal. 



I took this curious little butterfly rarely at Plcttenberg Bay, Cape Colony, 

 in February 1858, and also near Grahamstown in the same month of 1870. 

 It is numerous in Ivafl"raria and Natal, and in the latter country (chiefly on the 

 coast) I captured many specimens in the summer of 1867. It is tolerably 

 active, frequenting hilly and bushy spots, and often settling •with expanded 

 wings on the ground or on low plants. I have noticed that it soon loses its 

 glossy dark tints, becoming worn and dull ; the ^ , too, not long retaining the 

 remarkable snow-white fringe of hair and long scales on the front legs. 



Djceloelce has an immense African range, and is recorded also to occur at 

 Aden.
