Butterflies of Soiitlicrn Africa. 325 



white spots rounded, of various sizes, forming two irregular 

 transverse rows in outer half of wing ; those of the inner 

 row arranged so that 4 constitute a narrow oblique bar 

 commencing on costa just beyond middle, a 5th is beloAV 

 and rather before tlie 4th and much smaller, and the 6th 

 larffe and sub-ovate between 2nd and 1st median ner^iiles 

 about as far from base as the costal commencnig spot oi 

 the row ; the outer row sinuated, consisting of 7 spots of 

 which the 1st and 3rd are minute, and the 5th and 6th 

 about equal in size and largest ; an ochreous tinge over 

 basal region most pronounced on inner-margin. Hind- 

 xoing: entire disk ochre-yellow; a brown suffusion over 

 basal and inner-marginal region and narrowly along costa ; 

 a moderately broad hind-marginal border of dark-brown, 

 traversed by two parallel lunulated pale-brown streaks of 

 which the outer is well-marked ; beyond middle a row of 

 5 black oceUi with minute bluish- white centres ; of these 

 the first (close to costa) and the 2nd (between 2nd sub- 

 costal and radial nervules) are widely separated from 

 each other and from the other 3 (which lie between the 

 3rd median nervule and anal angle) and the 4th is 

 the smallest and usually bipupillate. Underside. — ■ 

 Hindwing and base and apex of forewing pale-brown, 

 varied with dull cream-colour, and streaked with dark- 

 brow^n. Forewing : 4 bluish-white, irregularly-shaped 

 spots in discoidal cell near its extremity, and a 5th 

 (minute) just beyond cell ; the 2nd and 3rd white spots 

 of outer transverse row (close to apex) ringed with 

 yellow, and the 3rd also with an inner black ring so as to 

 constitute a perfect ocellus ; the apical pale-brown, extends 

 along great part of hind-margin and is traversed by 2 

 parallel slightly-sinuated dark-brown sub-marginal streaks. 

 Hindioing : basal region crossed by 3 extremely irregular 

 dark-broAvn strife, of which the outermost is greatly in- 

 terrupted but joins the innermost by a longitudinal streak 

 running between sub-median and internal nervures ; an 

 independent short stria3 marking extremity of discoidal 

 cell ; ocelli more elaborate than on upperside, all in yellow 

 rings outwardly brown-edged and containing a more or 

 less incomplete internal blue iris ; occasionally a sixth 

 small oceUus situated between the 1st and 2nd, but usually 

 only a very faint circular spot tlicre ; the 3 lower ocelli 

 surrounded by dark-brown clouding ; the 2 sub-marginal 

 brown stria3 conspicuous on the pale ground.
