species of South African butterflies. 141 
border and apical area of fore wing much paler, of a greyish 
creamy, slightly tinged with rufous, but without violaceous gloss ; 
discal spots of hind wing smaller. 
In the @ the wings are more elongate than in the 3, especially 
the fore wings, which are more distinctly convex about the middle 
of the hind margin. 
(Described from two ¢ specimens and one ?). 
A worn example of the 3 was sent to me from Delagoa 
Bay by Mrs. Monteiro in 1886, and a rather faded ¢ by 
the Rev. U. Junod in June, 1891. This latter example 
was followed by a ¢ in very fine condition, reared by 
M. Junod from the larva on 29th August, 1891. 
This larva was found at Rikatla, about twelve miles 
from Lorengo Marques, on a small tree, and is described 
by the discoverer as whitish, inclining to a bluish tint, 
with a dorsal interrupted black line and black spiracles. 
The head is brown, with a reddish brown spot on each 
side of its lower portion, and two double parallel black 
lines ending on the forehead. The second segment, 
hidden behind the head, is edged posteriorly with black. 
Anal flap semicircular, green, divided into five triangular 
portions by four white lines. It is very sluggish, living 
between the sides of a leaf which it has drawn together 
with silk. It very slowly changes to the pupa, gradually 
assuming a tinge of rusty red. Length, 1 in. 1 lin. 
The pupa, judging from the skin of this individual, — 
which M. Junod, in forwarding, remarks is not very 
different from the living insect in colouring,—is sandy 
ferruginous; the head and back of thorax tinged with 
whitish, and the abdominal segments dorsally sparsely 
mottled with dull white, and bearing an interrupted 
greyish median streak marked on the 4th and 5th seg- 
ments with a small but conspicuous pure white spot. 
The wing-covers are white. Length, 7} lin.; rather 
stout. Attached to leaf by the tail, and by a strong 
silken girth round the posterior border of the thorax.

S$. Dull brown, with nearly all hind wing and three longi- 
tudinal stripes in fore wing suffused with ochreous yellow, in- 
clining to olivaceous; a discal series of small vitreous spots.
