48 RHOPALOCERA AFRICy^ AUSTRALIS. 



middle of inner-margin, this latter portion being broader and 

 straighter than the rest. Under-side. — Duller in colour 

 than in $ . Fore-wing : a blackish streak bordering inner 

 side of apical marking ; inner-marginal band greyish, ending 

 in a well-marked black spot, which is often united by a thin, 

 faint-blackish streak, to the inner border of apical marking, 

 as on upperside ; base sometimes tinged with pale yellow. 

 Hind-wing : greyer in tint than in $ , but marked similarly, 

 excepting more or less indistinct pale-brownish traces of the 

 angulated band on upper-side. 



Var. ? . — In the Collection of C. J. Andersson, Esq., from

This very pretty species, which appears to be very widely distributed in 

 the South of Africa, was not uncommon at Knysna during my stay there. It 

 has the habit of ilying irregularly along the edge of a wood, but does not 

 settle so frequently as the species of Pieris. Specimens from Port Natal 

 are generally larger, and with broader and darker black markings, than 

 those I obtained within the Cape Colony. Dr. Boisduval, as cited below, gives 

 the extensive range of " from the Cape to Delagoa Bay," for this species ; 

 and the discovery of it by Mr. Andersson, in the tropical region of Damara- 

 land, seems to indicate that it is as widely extended in the South-West aa 

 the South-East of Africa.
