364 SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



extremity of cell and apex, and an inferior inwardly-oblique row of 

 two, immediately adjacent to lower and outer disco-cellular spot, one 

 just above and the other just below second median nervule ; between 

 three superior and two inferior discal vitreous spots, in some specimens 

 two additional minute vitreous spots, one above and the other below 

 lower radial nervule ; immediately before disco-cellular and inferior 

 discal vitreous spots, a rather broad, ill-defined blackish fascia, extend- 

 ing to subniedian nervure ; before middle, between median and sub- 

 median uervures, a short, narrow, obliquely transverse blackish streak, 

 of which the portion below origin of first median nervule is marked 

 with two minute bluish-white spots on its inner edge ; bluish-white 

 submarginal irroration always sparse, very variable in development, 

 sometimes scarcely perceptible, but occasionally forming an ill-defined 

 fascia. Hind-iving : a strongly -curved, somewhat irregular discal 

 series of seven blackish spots, very variable in distinctness, and in 

 some examples obsolete ; bluish-white irroration better expressed than 

 in fore-wing, most developed at anal angle and along lower half of 

 hind-margin, but usually also shown to some extent before discal series 

 of spots. Under side. — Fore-wing with blackish markings quite obsolete; 

 hind-wing pure white, ivith a broad costal-apical broini border. Fore- 

 wing : vitreous spots as on upper side, but without blackish edges ; 

 submarginal irroration, without bluish tinge, confined to inferior disc 

 below vitreous spots, sometimes forming two ill-defined whitish spots 

 between first median nervule and submedian nervure. Hind-wing: 

 base bluish-white; costal border narrow at base but broad beyond 

 middle, and terminating rather abruptly on hind-margin a little below 

 second subcostal nervule ; along lower edge of costal border a series of 

 three conspicuous good-sized black spots, the first and second respec- 

 tively before and about middle, and both below costal nervure, the 

 third (first of discal series) between subcostal nervules ; remaining 

 spots of discal series very much smaller than the first (two or more of 

 them sometimes obsolete), but very conspicuous on the pure-white 

 ground ; close to hind-margin a submacular, more or less interrupted, 

 narrow brown border, best developed on each side of first median 

 nervule. Cilia pale-brown, mixed with white in fore-wing below first 

 median nervule, in hind-wing (to a greater degree) below second sub- 

 costal nervule. 



Head and body brown above, white beneath. Head with seven 

 small pure-white spots above, viz., two in middle in front, one behind 

 base of each antenna, and three at back (one in middle and one on 

 each side) ; 2^cdp^ brown above, with a small white spot at extremity 

 of middle joint, — beneath pure white, with terminal joint and tip of 

 middle joint black ; antennce black, with club beneath creamy-yellowish. 

 Legs white, — the tibiae and tarsi faintly tinged with brownish. Abdo- 

 men above and laterally with segmental incisions very finely marked 

 with pure white.
