Fig. Sithon Pallene, Stand., Exot. Schmott., i. pi. 95 (1887). 



This curious species occurs sparingly iu Natal. Colonel Bowker wrote to 

 me in January 1S88 that two were taken at Stanger (near the coast, a few 

 miles to the south of the Tugela) by the Rev. Mr. Pettnian ; and in October 

 Mr. C. AV. Morrison acquainted me with his having captured it near Estcourt. 



Additional locality in South Tropical Africa : — Okavango Kiver {A. W. 

 Eriksson).

Myrina derma'ptei'a, p. 144. 



Larva. — Dull pale olivaceous-green, except seventh segment, which is 

 ferruginous ; a consj)icuous white median mark on sixth segment, and a similar 

 one on eighth segment, both apparently extending partly on the ferruginous 

 seventh segment. 



This note of the colouring of the larva is made from a drawing (giving a 

 dorsal view only) by Mrs. Barber of a full-grown specimen just before pupation, 

 found near D'Urban, Natal. Mrs. Barber's figure of the pupa (dorsal view) 

 resembles that by Captain Harford, noted in the text.

Since the description in the text was made I have had the satisfaction of 

 examining two very fine males taken in the same locality as the type — Estcourt, 

 Natal — by j\Ir. C. W. Morrison, and also a ^ captured at Eureka, near Bar- 

 berton, Transvaal, by Mr. C. F. Palmer, and so am enabled to amend that 

 description in the following particulars, viz. : — 



Exp. al, I in. 4h-(>h lin. 



Upper side bluej^not" metallic, bright and pale, with scarcely any violaceous 

 tinge ; cilia white with black nervular interruptions (very slender on hind- 

 wing). Fore-icing : costa at base not yellow-ochreous, but with a dull purplish- 

 red stain. Hind-ioing : tails black, white-tipped, — that on first median nervule 

 short, but that on submedian nervure nearly thrice as long, viz., 2J lines. 

 Under side. — Ground-colour dull-olivaceous (in tiie Transvaal example much 

 yellower). Fore-wing : a submarginal dark ferruginous streak much as in hind- 

 wing, but thinner. Hind- icing : four small silvery spots in outer area very 

 minute and indistinct ; submarginal ferruginous streak very dark and angulated 

 towards base on submedian nervure ; hind-marginal edging black streak becomes 

 orange on anal-angular lobe on both sides of origin of long tail ; immediately 

 before edging a series of five ill-defined diffused small white spots dotted 

 externally with silvery. 



Head black (not reddish-brown) ; thorax beneath ferruginous-broAvn, with 

 an anterior long white mesial mark, another posterior one, and three white 

 spots on each side ; legs with ferruginous-brown femora (hind pair inferiorly 

 edged and tipped with white) and white tibia; and tarsi — the tibiae Avith a 

 black ring at base, and the tarsi with black tips. 



The upper side much resembles that of A. (Spindasis) Somalina, Butl. 

 {Proc. Zool. Soc. Lond., 1885 (publ. 1S86), p. 764, pi. xlvii. f. 5), but the blue
