358 SOUTH-AFRICAIT BUTTERFLIES. 



spots hchvecn the enlarged darker marldiigs ; vitreous spots as on upper 

 side. 



The ^ varies somewhat in depth of colouring on the upper side, 

 and in one example from Southern Matabeleland the dark fascia of the 

 fore-wings scarcely appears. In the $, besides the variations noted 

 above, the vitreous spots are sometimes very much reduced in size, and 

 in three examples (two from Natal and one from Delagoa Bay) the 

 disco-cellular one in the hind-wings is obsolete as in the $. These 

 examples, as well as several of the more ordinary pattern, exhibit in 

 the fore-wings two minute subvitreous spots on the disc immediately 

 below the largest vitreous spot. 



Although so much larger and paler, and without marked excision 

 of the hind-margins of the wings, the $ of this species is evidently not 

 distantly allied to P. Djcclcelcc, Wallengr. ; while the $ is more like the 

 $ P. Nottoana, Wallengr., owing to its well-developed vitreous spots. 



In August 1865 I took three ? s in the Botanic Garden at D'Urban, jSTatal; 

 they settled on the ground with expanded wings ; and Colonel Bowker has since 

 forwarded specimens captured in that neighbourhood during July and August. 

 In the summer of 1867 (February and March), I met with several of both 

 sexes, chiefly in the coast districts; they frecpiented bushes at the edge of 

 woods, frequently settling on the leaves. Mr. A. D. Millar informs me that 

 the butterfly is numerous at Sydenham, near D'Urban. In Kaffraria Proper 

 Colonel Bowker found it but rarely ; and single specimens have occurred in the 

 eastern districts of the Cape Colony,
