is readily distinguished from it by the three small but distinct ocelli near 

 the base of the hind-wings, which are entii^ely wanting in the Indian species ; 

 the 5 J too, is much bluer above, and wants in the fore-wings the ochre- 

 yellow spot immediately beyond the discoidal cell, and in the hind-wings the 

 ochre-yellow lunule edging the ujsper hind-marginal black spot, which are 

 conspicuous features of the $ Isocrates. 



I met with this species rather sparingly on the Natal coast in February 

 1867, and again near Grahamstown in January and February 1S70. It 

 frequents wooded spots, and often settles on shrubs and low trees ; near 

 GrahamstoAvn I found it partial to the blossoms of Acacia horrida. Colonel 

 Bowker took it during March and April in Kaffraria, and in July and August 

 in Natal. Both sexes are active and rapid on the wing, but the male especi- 

 ally so. A fine female that I took near D' Urban had just before been 

 pounced upon by a predaceous fly of the Asilus group.
