22 SOUTH- AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



iving ; cilia as in L. patricia. Fore-iving : terminal disco-cellnlar fus- 

 cous luuule usually wider and more distinct tlian in Patricia ; costa 

 narrowly edged with brownish- fuscous ; nervules near apical and hind- 

 marginal border defined with fuscous. Hincl-iving : costa bordered 

 with very pale fuscous-brownish above first subcostal nervule ; a faint 

 hind-maro-inal mark of the same colour between first and second sub- 

 costal nervules ; orange lunule inwardly bordering hind-marginal black 

 spot between first and second median nervules broader than in Patri- 

 cia, and slightly suffused ; tail at extremity of first median nervule 

 longer and more slender. Under side. — Quite as in Patricia, except 

 for the folloioing slight differences : — Fore-wing : usually an additional 

 small spot at commencement of discal row, between second and third 

 subcostal nervules ; terminal disco-cellular marking narrower and much 

 more acutely angulated outwardly. Hind-iving : terminal disco-cel- 

 lular marking narrower, the white edging of its outward angulation 

 centrally prolonged as far as inner edge of discal macular row ; the 

 second spot of this row, between the subcostal nervules, narrower and 

 more elongate, and placed more obliquely. 



$ Pattern and markings agreeing with those of $ Parsimon and $ 

 Patricia, hut the colour of wide suffusion from bases over discs mry 

 different, heing of a pale silvery-greenish scarcely tinged with Hue. Fore- 

 wing : terminal disco-cellular spot very conspicuous, broader than in the 

 species named, and relieved on each side by a whitish edging ; outer 

 series of submarginal liinules (mesially traversing hind-marginal dark 

 border) less indistinct, and slightly (in one example deeply) tinged 

 with ochre-yellow. Eind-ioing : angulated terminal disco-cellular striola 

 very slender, more distinct in its upper portion ; usually two or three 

 minute fuscous discal spots ; both rows of submarginal white lunules 

 well marked, the inner one more so than in the two species named ; 

 orange-yellow lunules near anal angle largely developed (more so than 

 in Parsimon) ; in one specimen a third orange lunule between second 

 and third median nervules. Under side. — As in $, except that the 

 terminal disco-cellular marking in each wing is broader and usually 

 much less angulated. 



This remarkably-coloured form was first communicated to me by Mr. 

 Chr. Aurivillius in iSSi, as one of the typical examples of Wallengren's 

 Asteris in the Stockholm Museum ; and I shortly after noted another $ and 

 a 5 in a collection from Kinsembo (Congoland), in the possession of Mi-. 

 Doncaster. I have subsequently received a series of both sexes from Mi\ 

 F. C. Selous, who took them in the North-West Transvaal in February and 

 March 18S2. There is httle but the pecuHar silvery hue of the upper side 

 to separate this form from L. x>cdricia : but this feature is so pronounced in 

 both sexes that I am of opinion it justifies keeping L. glauca distinct.
