303 RHOPALOCERA AFRIC-S: AUSTRALI3. 



orange-yellow at anal angles. Under-side. — Fore-wing : 

 spots as above, but much paler ; costal and apical regions 

 yellow with a greenish tinge. Hind-wing : spots uniting 

 with costal and hind-marginal colouring to form a pale- 

 yellow ground-colour, on which the portions dark on 

 upperside take the form of a median and su-bmarginal 

 macular fuscous band, — the latter, incomplete band jioining 

 a wide blackish space at anal angle, which narrows 

 gradually to base along inner-marginal fold ;. inner-margin 

 itself bordered with ground-colour ; three small fuscous, 

 spots form a short transverse row near base. 



Above, this species bears much resemblance to Hopffer's East African 

 P. Heriliis, but wants the long;itudinal inner-marginal yellow streak m. 

 bolh wings, as well as some yellow lines on costa of fore-wing: beneath^ 

 however, its markings are very different, especially as regards tke anai 

 angles, which are fuscous in both wings, while in P. Jlerilus they ar® 

 respectively wliitish and pale-yellow.

Broivn, wilh ochreous marhings and vitreous spots. Fore- 

 wing : a costal stripe from near base, ending abruptly at 

 extremity of cell where it joins a good-sized quadrate spot 

 marked with two small vitreous spots ; this spot being part 

 of a band (interrupted on first median nervule) which is 

 marked with two other vitreous spots above second median 

 and reaches inner-margin, where it is joined by an indented 

 stripe from base ; near apex, two elongate spots, the upper 

 of which includes a vitreous dot. Hind-iving : a short, 

 abruptly upward-angulated streak from base ; a large ovate 

 patch on disc; an anal-angular marginal streak. Under- 

 side. — Fore-wing : costal stripe broader at base and pro- 

 duced as far as apical spot ; a macular streak just within 

 hind-margin, and two dots immediately before it. Hind- 

 wing : ochreous ; seven black spots in basal portion ; and
