66 SOUTH-AFEICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



Section 0. — Under side brownish-grey ; discal and submarginal 

 markings considerably darker than ground-colour, white-edged, very 

 irregular, more or less confluent into broken fasciae ; discal fascia of 

 hind-wing so united with a submarginal brownish cloud as to mark oft' 

 a subquadrate whitish space in anal-angular area. 



L. Lingcus (Cram.) [tailed], L. Palcmon (Cram.) [tailed].

^ iJidl violaccous-hluish, very glossy {in some specimens shot with 

 silvery-greenish) : a hlackish hincl-marginal line ; cilia white^ irregularly 

 varied vjith Uackish, chicjly in fure-wing ; a slender, black, white- 

 tipped tail on first median nervule of hind-wing. Under side. — Fale 

 hroionish-grcy , with transverse lohitc-edgecl darker faseicv ; a hroiun cloud 

 in hind-wing. Fore-wing : from costa, a single white stria near base, 

 curving inward to origin of median nervnre, — a short fascia (of which 

 the outer white reaches below median nervure) crossing cell, — another 

 similar fascia at extremity of cell ; beyond middle, a submacular fascia 

 narrowing downward, from costa to first median nervule ; along hind- 

 margin a whitish stripe interrupted with brown on discoidal and second 

 and third median nervules, and containing a row of small, dark, lunular 

 spots. Hind-vjing : base brown ; an interrupted macular fascia before, 

 and a very irregular one about, middle ; on disc, a brown cloud, — on 

 the lower edge of which, between second and first medians, is a con- 

 spicuous suhquadrcUc white spot ; on either side of first median nervule 

 a faintly yellow- ringed, black, bluish-silvery-dusted spot ; along hind- 

 margin a very indistinct row of confluent whitish rings. 



$ Grey-hrovjn, shot loith violet-Uue from base over disc. Fore-ioing : 

 short fascia closing cell well-marked on this side, its white edges suffused ; 

 two or three suff'used whitish spots in broad hind-marginal brown. 

 Hind-wing : a dark streak closing cell ; rarely, a row of indistinct 

 bluish-white marks beyond middle ; a nearly obsolete hind-marginal row 

 of whitish lunules, that above, and sometimes that below, first median, 

 with an outer adjacent blackish spot. Under side. — As in ^. 



A 9 taken near D' Urban, Natal, by Colonel Bowker, has much whitish 

 suffusion on the disc of both wings, and an unbroken series of submarginal 

 whitish spots (the middle one white) in the fore-wing. 



In this species the $ is rather smaller than the ^ ; and I possess one $ 

 which is only 9 lin. across the expanded wings, but this example, which I 

 captured near Cape Town, can only be regarded as abnormally dwarfed, like 

 the still more diminutive $ s of Z. Palemon which are not rarely met with.
