I90 SOUTH- AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



vules. Forc-vnng : fuscous border very broad in apical region, occupy- 

 ing outer half of costa, and emitting a short ray towards base along 

 subcostal nervure ; on third median nervule the border abruptly nar- 

 rows, thence forming a rather wide and tolerably even band to anal 

 angle; base slightly clouded with fuscous. Hiiid-wing : border similarly 

 developed in apical region, but abruptly constricted a little above third 

 median nervule, and thence to anal angle being very much narrower 

 than the corresponding portion in fore-wing ; base faintly tinged with 

 fuscous-grey ; inner margin clouded with an ill-defined fuscous border- 

 ing beyond middle. Under side. — Hind-wing and bordering of fore- 

 wing fuscous-ochrcous, with hrigld-silvcry, narroicly Uaclc-cdged spots. 

 Fore-iuing : on costa, at base, a longitudinal silvery streak ; two small, 

 rounded, silvery-white spots in discoidal cell near base, and an elon- 

 gated similar spot at extremity of cell; nine spots in apical region, 

 viz., two minute ones close to costa ; one small rounded one a little be- 

 yond end of cell ; two larger ones placed so as to form an oblique elongate 

 marking between small rounded spot and apes, and four in a row from 

 apex along hind-margin as far as third median nervule, the lowest 

 spot the largest ; orange-fulvous replaced by a broad creamy band 

 along inner margin ; inner portion of hind-marginal border below apical 

 region marked with a row of three good-sized blackish spots. Hind- 

 wing : on basal lobe of costa a rather large subovate spot ; beyond it, 

 below costal nervure, two similar spots placed longitudinally ; a small 

 spot in discoidal cell close to base, followed by a dot ; a very irregular, 

 roughly V-shaped marking at extremity of cell ; between this marking 

 and inner margin are a similar but more elongate mai'king and » rather 

 small subovate spot ; beyond middle a very irregular transverse row of 

 eight spots of various sizes and shapes, of which the second and fourth 

 (of about equal size) are much larger than the rest ; a hind-marginal 

 row of nine spots, of which the three last form an oblique line to inner 

 margin beyond middle ; at anal angle a small, short, oblique, red mark, 

 bordered on each side with white ; quite at base, below origin of sub- 

 median nervure, a small round spot like the rest. 



Fore-icing with hind-marginal outline strongly elbowed about 

 extremity of radial nervures. Hind-iving with a slight anal-angular 

 lobe, and two tails of moderate length, broad at the base and taper- 

 ing gradually to a point at extremities of first median nervule and sub- 

 median nervure respectively. 



$ Similar to ^, hut fuscous hordering relatively not so hroad, and 

 scarcely any tinge of fuscous at bases. Fore-wing : bordering in 

 apical region not so greatly wider than its other portion, and emitting 

 no ray along subcostal nervure, but only two lines tVom costal edge on 

 second and third subcostal nervules ; near anal angle the bordering 

 is wider than about middle of hind-margin. Under side. — Eather 

 paler in ground-colour, but otherwise as in ^. Fore-icing : the lowest
