area except a line before the medial and beyond the postmedial 

 line so densely irrorated with morocco red that the ground-colour 

 can scarcely be seen; an ill- defined antemedial line of orange- 

 rufous (ii) scales mixed with black scales; medial line before middle 

 of wing, black, curved from costa to inner margin and sharply 

 incurved at lower median, the black line is preceded by a broader 

 line of ground-colour, irrorated with orange-rufous; raised scales 

 at end of cell orange-rufous; postmedial line from beyond | of 

 costa to near tornus and of ground-colour, beginning at costa with 

 some black scaling, then bordered on innerside with orange-rufous 

 scaling, as far as vein 3 and curved inwardly to vein 2, then sharply 

 excurved to torrras; from vein 3 to tornus the interior bordering 

 consists of black scales; some white and black scales in apical 

 area; cilia light orange-yellow (iii) mixed at apex and tornus with 

 morocco red ; two lines of morocco red across the cilia which are 

 slightly tipped with the same colour. Hind- wing densely and evenly 

 irrorated with fuscous; indications of a postmedial fuscous-black 

 line from lc-4, preceded and followed by a patch of morocco red 

 scales; cilia light orange-yellow, except at tornus where they 

 become fuscous- black, near apex they are well mixed with morocco 

 red; three lines of morocco red across the cilia, of which the two 

 inner ones are broadest and best defined. 



Underside : — both wings heavily irrorated with fuscous ; costa 

 of fore-wing and the apical area irrorated with morocco red ; post- 

 medial line better defined and reaching from costa to tornus, oblique 

 from costa to vein 2 near termen, then curved inwardly between 

 veins 2 and Ic, Ic and 16; this fuscous- black postmedial line is 

 bordered outside by a line of ground-colour; cilia of both wings 

 as on upperside.

Hah. Type from Barberton, ll.xii. 1910; co-types, 

 Barberton, 7. xii. 1910, and Three Sisters (Barberton
