? . Rather darker. Fore-wing : discal row of spots 

 pale-yellow, conspicuous, arranged as on under-side of $ , 

 with an additional spot just above submedian nervure. 

 Hind-iving : a discal row of three or four suffused yellow 

 spots, representing that of underside of $ . Undfr-side. — 

 As in $ , but ycUow brighter, and markings more distinct. 



Var. $ . — A strong ochrey -yellow snff anion covers nearly 

 whole of hind-wing and basal and inner-marginal region of 

 fore-wing. Under-side. — Markings rather indistinct. 

 Fore-wing : considerably paler on inner-margin than in type 

 specimens. Hind-wing : no grey on inner-marginal region, 

 which is pale-yellowish. 



I tiave very little doubt that Godart's Hottentota is the Variety just 

 characterised ; but as G'ldarf docs not describe the under-side of the 

 iiisfct, I am unable to decid«tijat such is the case.

This active little Paniphila is not very common near Cape Town, but I 

 found it abundantly at Knysna. Ii haunts little hollows and kloofs in 

 hillsides, taking possession of some tall flower in an open pofitiou, and, 

 like its British con^^eners P. Sijlcanus and Linea, driving; away every 

 insect which al tempts to share its scat. All the $ s 1 have taken near 

 Cape Town belong to the ycllow-siifTused Variety, which is also found 

 near the Bashee lliver. An infermediate S has bceu sent to me from 

 Graham's Town.
