spots similarly arranged, but none in cell or just below it; 

 a submarginal row of lunular spots near costa confluent with 

 hind-marginal border; costa and inner -margin fuscous- 

 clouded. Under-side. — Hind-tuing and border of fore-wing 

 (except inner-margin) irowww/i-t/re?/. Fore-wing: yellowish- 

 orange, not metallic ; an additional dot on costa before 

 middle, and another in cell at base ; all spots above median 

 nervure and its first branch centred with glistening-steely ; 

 spot below cell large ; a very faint submarginal row of spots, 

 the two about its middle dimly steely-scaled. Hind-wing : 

 spots indistinct, but little paler than ground-colour, indicated 

 by their dark edges ; a row of three before middle ; two 

 indistinct lunular submarginal streaks. 



The $ has rather more basal suifusion, and is slightly less 

 metallic above. 



T have had eonsiderable difficulty in determining whether the specimens 

 just described or those of the following species (which I have named 

 Chrysaor) were truly referable to Linne's Zeuxo. The description in 

 " Museum Ludovicae, &c.," applies excellently to both, with the single 

 exception of tne words " margine undique lato nigra" which are certainly 

 not applicable to any one of the numerous specimens of Chrysaor that I 

 have examined. From the descriptions I made in the British Museum, I 

 imagine that both species are included under Zcuxo in the National 

 Collection. 



Local. Bushy spots in hilly situations. 



October (e)— January (b). 



Flies higher than other Zerites ; fond of settling on tall shrubs. Usually 

 singly, or in pairs. The only place in which I have seen the species at all 

 common is a rough waste field among the fir plantations at the back of 

 Newlaods, on the ascent of Table Mountain. I have received no specimens 

 from any other part of South Africa.

Glittering golden-orange : spots as in Zeuxo, but usually 

 smaller and more distinct (the submarginal row of hind-wing 

 always wanting) ; hind-marginal border much narrower (in 

 fore-ioing widest at apex, in hind-tving macular or nearly so, 

 being sharply indented on nervules). Hlnd-iving : a dot or 

 short linear mark at end of cell ; no costal clouding. 

 Under-side. — Hind-ioing, and costa at base loith apical 

 region of fore-wing, varying from pale creamy- oclircous to 

 pale ferruginous-ochreous, Fore-iving : spots arranged as in
