138 SOUTH- AFKICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



basal stripe before anal angle ; (4) a row of small black spots (six in 

 each wing) a little before hind-margin ; and (5) a rather wide, orange- 

 ochreous, hind-marginal edging, becoming obsolete at end of second 

 median nervule. Fore-wing : beyond middle, an additional stripe from 

 costa extending in the . direction of anal ang^le, but becominof obsolete 

 just beyond first median nervule. Hind-wing: at anal angle a black 

 spot, from which runs a narrow black streak for a little way along 

 inner margin. 



$ Ilind-icing and outer j^ooiion of fore-icing ivldte ; in both wings, 

 basal region to a little beyond middle clouded with pale-blue, and 

 nervules clouded with blue and blackish mixed. Fore-iving : a rather 

 strongly-marked fuscous streak closing cell. Hind-icing : a broad 

 blackish streak corresponding to third transverse stripe of under side ; 

 a sub-marginal row of spots corresponding to tliose of under side, but 

 smaller. Under side. — Quite as in $. 



The forehead is orange-red in both sexes. 



Described from a single specimen of each sex, taken on a small 

 tree at the edge of scattered bush about the base of Woest Hill, near 

 Grahamstown, by ]\Ir. James, in October or November. Both examples 

 are considerably worn. 



It is very singular that so few examples of this very distinct lolaus 

 should have been recorded, and those few from two such very widely distant 

 localities as Grahamstown and Lake Nyassa. I much fear that the typical 

 examples, of which I made a description in 1870, must have been lost, as 

 they could not be traced in the Grahamstown Museum when I was last 

 there in 18S3. It is thus very fortunate that two specimens exist in the 

 Hewitson Collection, and that Mr. Hewitson published figui-es of the female.

Cream-colour, the liind-vnng rather yellower ; a linear hlaek hind- 

 marginal edging. Fore-ioing : a very small black spot at upper end 

 of extremity of discoidal cell ; at apex a rather broad but thinly-suf- 

 fused dull-brownish patch, ill-defined inwardly, commencing on co.sta 

 about termination of second subcostal nervule, and not extending along
