NYMPHALID.E. 153 



marginal band on hind-wing is very broad and of a brownish 

 hue. 



The ? of this fine species is at present unknown. It is not 

 unlikely that, as in D. Bolina, the sex in question may be 

 reddish brown in tint The only South African specimen of 

 D. Anthedon, that I know of, is that in the British Museum.*
