130 Mr. Roland Trimen on some new 
2. Brownish grey, rather widely suffused from bases with 
bright pale bluish ; lower two-thirds of discs bearing submargi- 
nally two white lunular series representing those of the under 
side ; in fore wing indistinct, but well marked in hind wing. Fore 
wing; Disco-cellular terminal lunule usually darker and thicker 
than in 3; bluish suffusion extends over lower half of discoidal 
cell, along inner-marginal area and over dise to beyond middle; 
outer whitish lunular series obsolescent. Hind wing: Bluish 
suffusion much fainter and more restricted than in fore wing, but 
filling discoidal cell; hind-marginal white line extending along the 
whole hind margin; black spot and orange-yellow lunule much 
larger than in g; in most specimens a faint orange-yellow mark 
close to anal angle. UNpb»rr stpr.—As in ¢, but in many examples 
an additional very small, round, black, white-ringed spot close to 
inner margin near base of hind wing. 
As noted by me (op. cit., p. 16; the under side in both 
sexes 1s sometimes very obscure, all the white markings 
being faint, and the subbasal and first discal round spots 
in the hind wing being scarcely or not at all darker than 
the rest. In a pair taken in copuld by Col. Bowker the 
markings are all quite obsolescent, and in the ? hardly 
traceable. From the few dated specimens received, I am 
inclined to think that these feebly-marked individuals 
are a seasonal (winter) form of the species. 
This species is distinguished from L. Osiris, Hopff., 
in both sexes, by having, on both upper and under sides 
of the hind wings, only one black hind-marginal spot 
and orange lunule (the lower one, if indicated at all, 
consisting of a simple trace of orange), and on the under 
side of the hind wings by wanting altogether the eighth 
(inner-marginal) spot of the discal series; also by the 
discal under side spots in both wings being more dis- 
connected and in a less straight line; moreover, in 
neither sex does there ever appear the small separate 
white-ringed costal spot a little beyond the middle on 
under side of the fore wings, which is almost invariably 
present in the ? Osiris, and sometimes exhibited by the 
g. The want of cupreous gloss on the upper side, and 
the deeper browner tint of the under side further distin- 
guish the g, and the paler duller upper side colouring 
and discal whitish lunules of the fore wings the ? , from 
the corresponding sex in Osiris. 
In my ‘South African Butterflies’ (ii., p. 15), I con- 
fused this species with L. Osiris, placing its 2 as that of
