colouring ; and its vague fuscous-brown space (enclosing 
an ochreous spot) is altogether different from the broad 
dark apical area, which, in C. madagascariensis, is only 
varied by the bar of three small indistinct ochreous 
spots from costa, not far from apex. On the under side, 
C. Morantu has none of the hoary colouring of the 
Malagasy species, and all its strie and ocelli are much 
more distinct, besides being rufous instead of dull grey; 
while in the hind wing the central and submarginal 
striz are more irregular and dentated. 
The only example of this insect that I have met with 
is the female above described, which was taken at 
Pinetown (Natal) in April or May, 1869, by Mr. Walter 
Morant, an able observer and collector, after whom 
I have named the species. Mr. Morant wrote that the 
specimen in question settled on the trunks of trees, with 
closed wings, in the same manner as C. natalensis, and 
that he believed he had seen, if not taken, a male nearly 
resembling it.

3. Iridescent whitish, with fuscous markings. Fore 
wing:—A well-defined pale bluish grey basal cloud 
reaching as far as middle of discoidal cell; upper disco- 
cellular nervule with a thin curved fuscous mark ; apical 
area widely fuscous, from costa a little beyond end of 
cell to end of second median nervule on hind margin ; 
inner edge of this apical patch irregularly excavated ; 
near apex three white spots, of which the second (close 
to subapical projection) is divided by a _ transverse 
fuscous streak, and the third is indistinct ; lower portion 
of hind-marginal fuscous narrowly continued to posterior 
angle by rather suffused hind-marginal and submarginal 
fuscous streaks; near the inner of these streaks, be- 
tween second median neryule and submedian nervure, 
two fuscous spots, rather large, obliquely placed, and 
slightly suffused. Hind wing :—A basal grey suffusion, 
narrower and less distinct than in fore wing; imme- 
diately before hind margin a parallel fuscous streak ; 
preceding which is a lunulate, suffused, fuscous streak, 
becoming irregular and less distinct in its lower portion, 
but with the outer streak enclosing six more or less ill-
