 It differs from those described in the text by the possession of a good-sized 

 space of -white in the lower central area of the hind-wings, extending from the 

 basal to the hind-marginal blackish,

A remarkable Aberration of this Variety, taken at Pinetown, Natal, by 



Major D'Aguilar, in March 1S86, has been sent to me by Colonel Bowker. 

 In this example (a $ ) the fore-wings are obscured with sooty black, altogether 

 obliterating subapical bar, and leaving only a paler dusky space along inner 

 margin and in middle of wing ; black spots enlarged, lengthened, diffused. 

 The hind-wings have a broad dusky-black border, pierced deeply by the much- 

 elongated, outwardly-acuminate, discal spots, which unite with the inter- 

 nervular dusky rays ; the basal and terminal disco-cellular spots are also much 

 enlarged and elongated. On the under side similar peculiarities are observable, 

 but in both fore and hind wings the hind-marginal border is yellowish, and in 

 the hind- wings the elongated discal spots are more conspicuous on the clear 

 ground. 



A less remarkable " sport " of the typical or rufous form of this species is a 

 $ taken at Etshowe, Zululand, by ]\Ir. T. Vachell, in which the discal spots of 

 the fore- wings are greatly elongated towards base.

In March 1888 I received from Mr. J. M. Hutchinson a number of speci- 

 mens of the pupa of this species (from larvaa collected at Estcourt, Natal), four 

 of which were still alive and yielded the perfect insect. This pupa, though 

 smaller and more slender, is not at all unlike that of A. Horta ; the ground 

 being white or creamy, with the outlines of wings and neuration strongly
