species of South African butterfles. 129 
seasonal (winter) form, but I have not sufficient dated 
material to pronounce on the question. ‘Two females 
from Madagascar in the South African Museum are well 
marked on both surfaces, and agree entirely with South 
African examples, except that, in the larger of the two, 
the submarginal sagittiform white marks on the upper 
side of the hind wings are somewhat enlarged and more 
elongated.

3. Pale shining pinkish violaceous (without cupreous gloss) ; 
a rather wide greyish fuscous hind-marginal edging (submacular 
in hind wing) ; cilia shining pale greyish, near anal angle of hind 
wing becoming white. Forewing: Ashort, thin, almost linear, ter- 
minal disco-cellular greyish fuscous lunule. Hind wing: A linear, 
black, white-tipped tail at extremity of 1st median nervule ; imme- 
diately above this nervule a conspicuous hind-marginal black spot, 
bounded internally by a very broad orange-yellow lunule, and ex- 
ternally by a very fine white line, which is continued to anal angle, 
and here preceded by an elongate fuscous greyish marking. UNDER 
sipE.—Very pale brownish grey, with white-edged darker markings 
arranged almost as in Osiris, but presenting the following diffe- 
rences :—Fore wing: Discal row less regular, its component spots 
more detached and out of line. Hind wing: 3rd (inner-marginal) 
spot of subbasal row further from base; discal macular row more 
irregular, its 1st (black, white-ringed) spot further before the 2nd, 
which is placed transversely, and its last spot the 7th (the inner- 
marginal one found in Osiris not being represented) ; black spot 
on hind margin inwardly bounded by broad orange-yellow lunule 
as on upper side, but marked externally with a greenish silvery 
line; at anal angle no 2nd black spot, but some greenish silvery 
scales preceded by some orange-yellow ones.
