Rhopalocera from Southern Africa. 439 
viz.:—(1) its much larger size, Clytus not expanding 
above 23 inches, and being generally not more than 
2 in. 4 lin. across the wings; (2) its paler colouring 
throughout; (8) the proportionally smaller and in- 
variably triple ocellus of fore wing, which in Clytus is 
very rarely more than double, and, in the instances 
where it is triple, the lowest (or third) factor of the 
compound ocellus is small or minute; (4) the greater 
width of the creamy stripe beyond this ocellus; (5) the 
whitish hind marginal border of fore wing; (6) the more 
irregular and broken character of the macular creamy 
stripe across disc of fore wing; (7) the more distinct 
ocelli of hind wing, and their conspicuous pale fulvous 
(instead of dull fulvous) rings; (8) on the under side of 
the hind wing the ocelli are much blacker and their 
yellow rings much brighter; while (9) the two dark striae 
are very much less irregular, the outer one projecting 
farthest from base on the radial nervure, so that the 
space between the striz is widest at that point, instead 
of on the third median nervule; and (10) the whitish 
edging of the striz is either wanting or very faintly 
present, and the basal broken stria of Clytus is all but 
obsolete. A structural difference is noticeable in the 
antenne, which are proportionally shorter in Oxylus ; 
they are also of a paler and more yellowish rufous. 
Colonel Bowker sent this butterfly from Butterworth, 
Kaffraria Proper, as long ago as 1861, and afterwards 
from the Bashee River in the same Territory. Mr. 
W.S. M. D’Urban informed me that he had noticed this 
large ‘“‘ Variety A” of L. Clytus in the then Colony of 
British Kaffraria; but it was not until March, 1875, 
that Colonel Bowker succeeded in taking specimens on 
the west bank of the Kei River, in the Division of East 
London. I have not heard of the butterfly occurring in 
Natal, or elsewhere in South Africa than within the 
limited range indicated.
