104 RHOPALOCERA AFRICiE AUSTRALIS. 



spot in discoidal cell, a little beyond its middle ; a larger, 

 irregular-shaped spot at extremity of cell ; costa edged with 

 blackish, widest at apex ; be3'ond extremity of discoidal cell, 

 an oblique, transverse row of four spots, from just below costa 

 to second median nervule, not far from hind-margin ; two black 

 spots, one above, and the other below, 3rd median nervule, 

 ■ — lying nearer to base than the row of four spots, — seem 

 almost as if continuous of the latter row ; on hind-margin, 

 the nervules axe strongly clouded with blackish, which, narrow- 

 ing inwardly, forms sharp, distinct rays, deeply piercing the 

 ground-colour ; base narrowly blackish. Hind-wing : lower 

 portion of base clouded with blackish ; two transverse rows of 

 spots, — one, before middle, of few spots, irregular and inter- 

 rupted, — the other, commencing about middle of costa, and 

 extending to about middle of inner-margin, is rather sinuous, 

 and angulated on discoidal nervule, from whence to inner- 

 margin it proceeds in a direct line, containing eight spots in 

 all ; parallel to the row last mentioned, a more or less distinct 

 grey streak, from just before anal angle, on inner-margin, as 

 far as discoidal nervule ; on hind-margin, nervules clouded 

 with blackish, forming a narrow border, dentate inwardly, 

 but not forming nearly such sharp and deep indentations on 

 the ground-colour, as in fore-wing. Under-side. — Fore- 

 wing : paler than on upper-side ; base with a black spot, but 

 not clouded with blackish ; spots as on upper-side, but rather 

 smaller and not so black ; apical portion, beyond transverse 

 row of four spots, pale whitish-yellow, with orange-ochreous 

 rays between the nervules, which are narrowly clouded with 

 black. Hind-wing : pale whitish-yelloio ; two or three 

 additional, small black spots near base ; transverse rows of 

 spots as on upper-side ; base, inner-margin as far as outer 

 row, and internal edge of straight portion of the latter row of 

 spots, clouded with reddish-ochreous between nervules; space 

 between outer row and parallel streak from inner-margin, 

 wholly spotless, forming a conspicuous pale band, — in con- 

 sequence of there being elongate, reddish-ochreous marks all 

 along hind-margin beyond streak, between the nervules, which 

 are narrowly black clouded. 



? . Not of so warm a colour, being duller, with something 

 of a brownish tint ; but similar in marking. Fore-wing : an 

 additional, more or less observable, small, thin, black spot, 

 below median nervure, not far from base ; other spots as in 

 ^ , but larger and fainter ; a paler space of colour beyond 

 transverse row from costa ; blackish clouding en nervules not 

 nearly so strong or clearly-defined as in ^ , being much 

 suffused. Hind-wing : quite like $ 's, excepting that the
