Forms of South- African Butterflies. 61 



there is no trace on either upper or under-side of the fore- 

 wing of any rufous immediately encircling the ocelli, the 

 outermost rings being dusky-brown ; and thus, as regards 

 this particular red marking, G. rvfi/plaga is nearer than the 

 Variety A to typical liehe. In both examples of the new 

 form only the two lower of the hind-wing ocelli are 

 represented on the upper-side ; I have noted the same 

 feature in a King William's Town ^ and a Bashee River 

 ^ of the Variety A. As regards the under-side, the 

 rufous strice in C. rufiiilaga are thinner and redder than 

 in typical liebe, and there are only fragmentary and 

 obsolescent traces of the two sub-basal ones present in the 

 latter ; in the fore-wing the outermost stria is inferiorly 

 merged with inner edge of the rufous patch. In respect 

 of these under-side striae, the new form is at the opposite 

 extreme from the Variety A, which presents them in a 

 very highly-developed condition. 



The two examples here described are closely alike, and 

 give the impression of representing a distinct local race ; 

 but this view cannot be definitely affirmed until specimens 

 of the % are forthcoming from the same district. Mr. 

 Feltham received these ^ ^ from Mr. H. Livingstone, who 

 notes that they were " caught on the top of Buiskop, near 

 Warm Baths, Transvaal, on 2nd January, 1905." This, I 

 learn from Mr. Feltham, is an elevation of some extent 

 situated about 50 miles N, of Pretoria and half-way 

 between that town and Nylstroom.

PSEUDONYMPHA DUPLEX (Butl.) — Var. major. (Plate IV, 



fig. 2.) 

 Neoccenyra diq^Iex, Butl., Proc. Zool. Soc. Lend., 1885, 



p. 758 (188G)^;* and 1894, p. 5G0, pi. 36, f. 1. 

 Pseudonym2Jha 1 Bera (Hewits.), aut dwplex (Butl.), Trim., 



S.-Afr. Butt., iii, p. 395 (1889), and Proc. Zool. Soc. 



Lond., 1891, p. 62. — Var. major. 



This species was founded by Mr. Butler on a single 

 $ from Somali-land,* and was made the type of his new 



* The $ associated with this $ was subsequently recognized by- 

 Mr. Butler as distinct, and described by him (Proc. Zool. Soc, Lond., 

 1894, p. 559) as N. rujilineata. It differs in having on under-side of 

 hind-wing three red transverse streaks — of which two, ante-median 

 andpost-median, are not present in the iV. cZH^jZex, ,$ . This 9 does 

 not appear to me to be separable from P. natalii, Boisd.
