132 SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



did not find this butterfly during my stay on the Natal Coast in 1867, but a 

 good many examples taken at D'Urban have reached me at different times, 

 and Colonel Bowker has fallen in with it both at Pinetown and on the Lower 

 Umkomazi.

$ Very pale Uue ; apical half of fore-wing a7id costal harder of 

 hind-wing greyish-fuscous, with white spots. Fore-iving : blue extends 

 from base, not quite reaching costal edge, to extremity of discoidal 

 cell and along inner margin to beyond middle ; a fuscous lunule 

 closing cell, sometimes preceded by a more or less distinct small 

 fuscous spot ; immediately beyond lunule a small whitish space shot 

 with blue, crossed by radial nervule ; a submarginal row of six white 

 spots, of which the first and second are lanceolate, the third minute, 

 the fourth very small, the fifth large and quadrate, and the sixth 

 (between first median nervule and submedian nervure) also quadrate, 

 much the largest of all, more or less suffused with blue, and internally 

 confluent with the ground-colour inferiorly. Hind-icing : costal border 

 rather broad, darker at apex ; a submarginal row of white spots, of 

 which only the first and second (rarely the third) are distinct, the 

 rest being lost in the blue field; immediately preceding this row, a 

 series of four or five black spots, of which the two lowermost (between 

 radial and second median nervules) are usually very distinct ; imme- 

 diately beyond the row of white spots a lunulate fuscous streak, inter- 

 rupted on nervules, extending from costal border to submedian nervure ; 

 a narrow distinct black edge to hind-margin, bounded internally by a 

 white line ; three good-sized hind-marginal black spots, preceded by
