PIERlDiE. 57 



about half the area of fore-iving. Fore-io'mg : apical patch 

 with no internal blackish margin, and externally only very 

 narrowly edged with faint-brownish, which extends but very 

 little on either side of apex — the orange reaching nearly to 

 anal angle, and slightly infringing on extremity of discoidal 

 cell ; base very narrowly marked with blackish ; no disco- 

 cellular spot ; costal edge very faintly tinged with pale- 

 brownish ; fringe pale reddish-brownish as far as third median 

 nervule, between which and anal angle it is sulphur-yellow. 

 Hind-wing : spotless ; base very narrowly marked with black- 

 ish ; fringe sulphur-yellow as far as second or third median 

 nervule — thence, along inner-margin to base, pale russet- 

 brownish. Under-side. — Fore-wing : ground-colour paler 

 than on upper-side ; position of apical patch only indicated 

 by a deeper shade of yellow ; costa narrowly, apex more 

 widely, tinged with very faint brownish — the apex, in ad- 

 dition, mottled or irrorated with pale-brownish atoms ; along 

 hind-margin, a row of minute black dots between nervules, 

 and two similar dots on costa immediately before apex. 

 Hind-wing : dull, pale, reddish-ochreous (paler on apical half 

 of hind-marginal portion), rather thickly irrorated with 

 brownish atoms ; on costa, beyond middle, a faint blackish 

 mark, which, with some much fainter marks between first 

 median nervule and sub-median nervure, indicate an angu- 

 lated macular stripe across wing ; along hind-margin, a row 

 of minute black dots between nervules. Apex oj fore-wing 

 more acute than in any of the South African species I have 

 seen. 



? . Ground-colour much paler, sometimes nearly white ; 

 orange apical patch paler and duller, loith very slight pink 

 gloss. Fore-wing : a rather large, black, disco-cellular spot; 

 beyond it a curved, transverse row (nearly parallel to hind- 

 margin) of five, good-sized, blackish spots, crossing the 

 orange — the first and second respectively above and below 

 first discoidal nervule, — the third and fourth respectively 

 above and below second median nervule, — the fifth and 

 largest between third median nervule and submedian nervure ; 

 base and costa greyish ; apical patch margined outwardly 

 with blackish, which slightly indents the orange on nervules, 

 forming a large blackish mark at anal angle, below and 

 touching the orange. Hind-wing : along hind -margin a row 

 of large, ill-defined, blackish spots, at extremities of nervules, 

 but not reaching further than extremity of second median 

 nervule. Under-side. — Similar to that of $ . Fore-wing : 

 white, or very pale yellowish ; disco-cellular spot and row of 

 spots as on upper-side, but not so strongly marked ; costa
