192 RHOPALOCERA AFRICyE AUSTRALIS. 



as apex of fore-wing, with a strong violaceous gloss; four 

 irregular, interrupted, brown striae crossing basal half; row 

 of ocelli as above, but in pale-yellow rings ; two dentate 

 striae bordering hind-margin, which is paler than rest of wing : 

 a space, inwardly bordering the ocelli, fi'om discoidal nervule 

 to sub-median nervure near anal angle irrorated with fuscous 

 scales. 



From a ? specimen forwarded to me by the Ven. H. 

 Kitton, it does not appear that the sexes diifer in aspect. 

 The second and fourth ocelli on the upper-side of hind-wing 

 are occasionally wanting. 



Mr. D'Urban, who discovered this species in British 

 Kaffraria, gave me the following note of capture : " Forest 

 on the hill above Frankfort, March 28th, 1861, — abundant. 

 Pitches frequently on tree-trunks, head downwards." I have 

 since received interesting confirmation of this butterfly's 

 peculiar liking for tree-trunks from Archdeacon Kitton, who 

 observed it in the Perie Bush, a few miles from King 

 William's Town, and from Mr. II. I. Atherstone, of Highlands, 

 near Graham's Town. Mr. Bowker has found Dendrophilus 

 not uncommonly in Kaffraria Proper.

Genus LEPTONEURA. 



Leptoneura, Wallgr. 

 Satyrus, Godt. (pars). 



Imago. — Head. — Antennce rather short, with a long, 

 very gradually-formed club ; eyes pilose ; palpi straiter, less 

 hairy than in Erehia (especially terminal joint). Thorax 

 slightly more robust. Winrjs similar in outline, but apex of 

 fore-wing less rounded and hind-wing rather more dentate 

 than in Erebia. Fore-wing : all the nervures simple at base. 

 Hind-wing : discoidal cell shorter. 



Xhe unswollen costal nervure of fore-wing, smoother palpi, 

 and hairy eyes, distinguish this Genus from Erebia. Wallen- 

 gren founds it on the single species, Clytus, Linn., to which 

 I have added L. Cassus of the same author, which is identical 

 in these structural points.
