DuU-hrown : each wing with a transverse row of ochrey-red, 

 hlach-centred spots. Fore-wing : base of dilated, subcostal 

 nervure tinged with ochrey-red ; near and parallel to hind- 

 margin the five connected spots of the transverse row form 

 rather a broad band. Hind-tving : six spots in transverse 

 row near hind-margin, all separate but the two next anal 

 angle, which form a single, bipupillate marking ; a whitish 

 line on hind-margin, near anal angle. Under-side. — Very 

 different : transversely and irregularly streaked with alternate 

 pale-yellowish and dark-brown slender lines, in many places 

 confluent ; rows of spots situated as on upper-side, but 

 ochrey-yellow, with conspicuous silvery centres. Fore-wing : 

 dilation of subcostal nervure ochrey-yellow ; transverse 

 yellowish lines not extending beyond median nervure and 

 third median nervule, below which the wing is wholly dark- 

 brown ; beyond row of spots the dark lines become fewer, 

 thinner, and shorter, the hind-margin itself being wholly 

 yellowish ; parallel to hind-margin two dark-brown streaks, 

 one festooned just beyond spots, the other straight and 

 immediately within margin. Hind-wing : the transverse 

 streaking extends to inner-marginal edge ; an additional 

 spot, like those in row, beyond middle, between first and 

 second subcostal nervules ; two spots of row next anal angle 

 not so closely confluent as on upper-side ; streaks along 

 hind-margin as in fore-wing. 



Described from a single specimen taken by Mr. C. J. Andersson in 

 Tropical South-Western Africa. One of the most elegant butterflies of the 

 Tamily, and rare in collections.
