Rhopalocera from Southern Africa. 437 
costa at base; two above, one in, one at extremity, one 
beyond, and two below discoidal cell; and a long ray 
along inner margin. 
This very distinct Acrea exhibits affinities with A. 
Nohara, Boisd., A. Doubledayi, Guér., and A. Anacreon, 
mihi; its upper surface colouring and markings resem- 
bling those of the first named; its markings generally 
that of the second; and its under surface colouring that 
of the third. From all three, and indeed from all the 
other Acree that I have examined, it may readily be 
recognised by the two peculiar diaphanous spots imme- 
diately following the costal transverse macular black bar 
beyond the middle of the fore wigs. The singularly 
minute black spots of the hind wings are also a very 
marked character in A. fenestrata. 
A single male of this butterfly was contained in the 
collection purchased by the South-African Museum in 
1879 from Mr. T. Ayres. It is noted in Mr. Ayres’s list 
as having been captured in the Leydenburg district of 
the Transvaal. There are two males in the Hewitson 
Collection of the British Museum labelled ‘‘ Transvaal,” 
and Mrs. Monteiro possesses another, taken at Delagoa 
Bay.

wing: — A transverse, exteriorly convex, interiorly 
strongly-dentate, pale-creamy macular stripe, from 
costa just beyond middle to anal angle; of this stripe 
the upper portion is rather narrow and uninterrupted, but 
the lower portion is broader and consists of three spots 
more or less completely separated from the upper portion 
and from each other; close to apex a short, much 
curved, unbroken, wider stripe of the same colour, from 
near costa to third median nervule—along which, by a 
very thin ray, it is united to the preceding stripe; 
touching inner edge of this short stripe are three rather
