LYC^NIDxE. 135 



SIDE. — Grey-white, clouded near tlie base of both wings with pale 

 rufous-brown ; both with a linear band at the end of the cell. Ante- 

 rior wing with a lunular spot within the cell, a linear zigzag band 

 a little beyond the middle (bordered inwardly with rufous-brown), a 

 sub-mai'ginal indistinct linear band, and the outer margin all carmine. 

 Posterior wing crossed near the base by a curved broken band of five 

 lunular spots, and by a very angular, linear, broken band, all carmine ; 

 a sub-mai*ginal band indistinct and carmine from the costal margin to 

 the middle, black above the anal spots ; the spots black bordered above 

 with orange, below with pale blue ; the outer margin carmine ; the 

 apex pale rufous brown." — Howitson, loc. cit. 



^ Pale-blue over discal inner-marginal area of both wings. 

 Hind-wing : three fuscous spots near anal angle ; hind-margin with 

 a black boundinef line edgfed with whitish on each side ; both tails 

 orange at base, the upper (shorter) one orange throughout except its 

 black and white tip. Under side. — Redder than in $ (judging from 

 Ilewitson's figure), especially the strias themselves j hind-margin in 

 both wings much clouded with brownish. 



I have not seen the male of this species, which was described and figured 

 by Hewitson from a Zululand example in the collection of Boisduval. The 

 female above noted is in the Hewitson Collection at the British Museum, 

 and came from Delagoa Bay ; it was in very poor condition when I examined 

 it in 18S1.

$ Gloss?/ 2^nlc-hluc, with fuscous-grc]/ borders. Fore-wing: costa from 

 base rather widely bordered with pale-grey, diminishing to a point about 

 middle ; extreme costal margin very narrowly edged with ochreous ; 

 apical border very broad, commencing just at extremity of discoidal 

 cell, but somewhat abruptly narrowing on second median nervule, whence 

 the hind-marginal border to anal angle is not wide ; sexual tuft on inner 

 margin thin, dark-grey ; inner margin rather pi'ominently lobed in basal 

 half. Hind-vjing : costal and apical margin narrowly, hind-margin very 

 narrowly edged with fuscous-grey ; two usual hind-marginal spots black, 

 that on anal angular lobe superiorly edged with greenish-silvery, and 

 partly encircled with dull white ; between the two spots a third lunu- 

 late one, immediately preceded by a whitish mark, which is itself pre- 

 ceded by a faint fuscous one ; inner margin rather widely pale-grey,
