226 RHOPALOCERA AFRICJE AUSTRALIS. 



which leaves only ovate spots of ground-colour between band 

 and streak ; immediately within hind-margin a white line, 

 which on lobe of anal angle unites with streak to form a 

 white space, marked with a conspicuous black spot ; a similar 

 spot between second and third median nervules ; a black, 

 white-edged and tipped tail on third median and on submedian, 

 the latter twice as long as the former. Cilia white, except 

 on superior two-thirds of fore-wing, where a fuscous tint 

 prevails. Under-side. — Whiter with ochreous, brown-edged, 

 transverse, irregular strice ; a disco-cellular streak, a stria 

 before middle, a broad stria beyond middle, and a hind- 

 marginal and submarginal line, common to both wings. 

 Fore-wing : from subcostal to submedian nervure, close to 

 base, an ochreous stripe ; transverse striae begin on costa, the 

 outer one more irregular and much dentate. Hind-ioing : 

 costa at base edged with ochreous ; inner transverse stria 

 much narrower than in fore-wing ; both striae very acutely 

 angulated on submedian nervure, and thence diverted, the 

 inner quite, the outer very nearly, to base ; submarginal line, 

 which includes two blackish spots next costa, and is inter- 

 rupted on submedian, similarly diverted, edging inner-margin 

 to before middle ; black spots interiorly edged with blue 

 scales, of which a few are discernible between the spots. 



The underside of this beautiful lolaus differs much from any species that 

 I have seen. The colour and direction of the striae are isomething similar 

 in Amblypodia Erylus, Godt. 



Described from a single specimen sent from Kaffraria by Mr. J. H. 

 Bowker, to whom, in honour of his long and successful exeitions in the 

 cause of entomology, I have dedicated the species. Mr. Bowker writes : 

 *' Caught at a bend of the river, seated on a sprig of mistletoe ; very rare."

Imago. — General characters of lolaus. Palpi more slender, 

 acute, and ascendant : antenna; longer, thinner, commonly 

 varied with white rings, not gradually incrassate, but with a 

 distinct club. Fore-wings of $ usually more acute at apex, 

 the hind-margin being slightly concave. Hind-winqs more 

 produced in anal angular region ; tails sometimes as in 

 lolaus, with a less prominent dentation on second median 

 nervule, — sometimes only one pair (on submedian nervure) ; 

 no shining circular space. Legs more slender, femora with 

 long hairs ; fore tarsi of $ composed of only one long joint 

 (A. Enjlus, Godt.).
