3-48 Mr. Roland Triiueu on 



p. 194. I there treated it as a widely-aberrant variety 

 (B) of L. Clytu.s; but a. wider knowledt^e of its range, 

 and the opportunity of examining more numerous ex- 

 amples, have led me to regard it as a good species. 



S . Exp. 1 in. 10 lin.— 2 in. 4 lin. 



Allied to L. Clytus, Linn. (S. N. ii. 768). 



Dark hrown, with a rufous gloss. Fore-wing : a strongly 

 curved row of six whitish irregularly shaped spots (of 

 which the upper three are in contact with each other, 

 but the lower three separate, sub-rhomboidal, and 

 diminishing in size downward) running from the costa a 

 little beyond the middle to just above the first median 

 nervule, near hind margin; externally contiguous to the 

 second spot of this row, near the apex, an indistinct small 

 black ocellus, unipupillate with bluish-white. Hinfl- 

 wing : a submarginal row of four or five moderately-sized 

 white-unipupillate black ocelli, in nai'row dull-rufous 

 rings. 



Underside. Hind- wing and apex of fore- wing very 

 slightly paler than the rest of the surface. Fore-xmng : 

 a row of spots as above, but the fifth and sixth spots 

 more or less tinged Avith fulvous, and a faint trace of a 

 seventh spot (also fulvous) below the first median ner- 

 vule ; a spot, and a curved stria beyond the spot, rather 

 darker than the ground-colour, about the middle of the 

 discoidal cell ; two parallel dark lines along hind-margin, 

 the inner one becoming obsolete about the second dis- 

 coidal nervule. Hind-iring : a short dark transverse 

 streak in discoidal cell, near base ; a dark line closing the 

 cell ; two somewhat sufl'used dark stripes across the wing, 

 one (edged with grayish scaling outwardly) before the 

 middle, dentate, but continuous and tolerably regular, the 

 other (edged with grayish scaling inwardly) irregular, 

 more strongly dentate, and abruptly interrupted on the 

 third median nervule ; ocelli seven (but that nearest the 

 costa small and indistinct, or sometimes wanting) , usually 

 ill-defined, in brown ish-ochreous nngs ; two parallel mar- 

 ginal lines distinct throughout. 



Besides the five Basuto examples (two from Koro- 

 Koro) from which the foregoing description is made, I 

 have before me three Kaffrarian specimens taken by Mr. 

 Bowkor on the Bashee River, and one captured by Mr.
