from that of Forestall, and the imder-side black spots appear to be 

 identical in size and position. The pupal state lasted in February for 

 ten days. 



In flight and habits there is nothing to distingui.-ih this butterfly from 

 Forestall. In Natal the two forms are often found on the Aving together, and 

 in February 1867 I on several occasions captured both on the same bush of 

 Lantana near D'Urban. Pisistratus, however, was the rarer, and it seems to 

 be generally scarcer in South Africa. Colonel Bowker did not send any speci- 

 mens from Basutoland, but informed me that the species was not uncommon 

 at Maseru in the autumn, appearing about a fortnight later than Forestan.
