spots ; only two minute costal spots, upper part of terminal disco- 

 cellular spot, first and second spots of discal row, and upper three spots 

 of submarginal row filled Avitli metallic-golden scales. Hind-iciiifj : 

 the following slender dark-ferruginous markings interiorly rather con- 

 spicuously edged with subdued-silvery, viz., a spot near costa before 

 middle, a terminal disco-cellular striola, and a spot and two separate 

 stride representing and following the course of the disjointed discal 

 row of spots on the upper side ; a very indistinct submarginal greyish 

 suffused streak, and a very indistinct small ferruginous spot in dis- 

 coidal cell. Cilia grey, with nervular blackish interruptions. 



$ Less metallic than $. Fore-wing : last spot of discal row larger ; 

 a minute spot just above and slightly beyond terminal disco-cellular 

 spot, and another just below origin of first median nervule. Hind- 

 icing : spots of discal row larger, especially the sixth, — the fifth spot 

 present. Under side, — As in $, but all the mai-kings more distinct. 

 Hind-iving : the two discal striolte almost united on first median 

 nervule. 



This close ally of Z. Cltnjsaor., Trim., is further distinguished by its larger 

 size, and by the different outline of its fore-wings, which in the $ are not 

 produced apically, and in the 5 are not nearly so convex hind-marginally. 



]\fy description is made from a single example of each sex, acquired by the 

 South- African Museum in 1879 from ^fr. T. Ayres, who noted tliem as havin'T 

 been captured in the Lydenburg District of the Transvaal. I have not met 

 with any otlier specimens.

$ Fale-orange, scarcchj suh-metcdlic, with hlaclc disced spots and 

 narroiu hind-margined horeler ; cilia broad, blackish, interrupted con- 

 spicuously loith white bctwee?i ncrvides. Fore-wing: a terminal well- 

 marked disco-cellular black lunulate spot ; an irregular discal row of 

 five small spots (of which the third and fifth are beyond the line of the 

 other three) extending from close to costa as far as first median nervule ; 

 base narrowly greyish ; hind-marginal border broadest at apex, narrow- 

 ing to posterior angle, its inner edge dentated with ground-colour on 

 median nervules ; a rounded whitish spot at apex, touching white cilia ; 

 on costal edge, beyond middle, three very short sub-oblique white lines, 

 separated by black. Hind-wing : base very narrowly greyish ; in one 

 specimen without any spots, in the other with a minute terminal disco- 

 cellular one, and a discal row of three spots (of which first and third 

 are minute) between second subcostal and first median nervules ; hind-
