41 6 SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



is somewhat duller, and the black spots of the fore-wing are proportionally 

 smaller, but the hind-marginal black edging has in both wings (but especially 

 in the fore-wing) more jn-ominent internervular projections. ^ Orange-red 

 deeper, more metallic; blacJc liind-ma7'ginal edging in both icings broader in 

 apical half ; bases slightly dusky — in one example more strongly so. Under 

 SIDE. — As in $ , but the colouring generally deeper. 



The specimens here noted were captured in January 1888; and Mr. 

 Hutchinson wrote that the butterfly was very plentiful for some months at one 

 spot on a stony hillside at Ulundi.

The specimens (two <? s, two $ s) collected by Mr. Purcell nearly resemble 

 the somewhat divergent examples of this Variety noted in the text as sent 

 from the neighbourhood of Grahamstown by Mrs, Barber and Colonel Bowker, 

 but in both sexes the orange is more largely developed in the fore-wing, espe- 

 cially in the basal area. It is interesting to find this species occurring at the 

 same season (November 1887) and in the same locality as its close but larger 

 and more brilliant ally, Z. Argyraspis.
