South African Butterjlies. ■ S'AQ 



Walter Morant, at Kar kloof, Natal ; as well as a draw- 

 ing made by Mr. Mansel Weale, of an individual met 

 with either in the Kagaberg or Winterberg, in the 

 Bedford Division of the Cape Colony. In two examples, 

 the small and imperfect ocellus of the fore-wings is 

 accompanied^ on the upper side only, by a minute black 

 spot, below and separate from it, on the outer edge of 

 the third spot in the whitish band. In one of the Bashee 

 River specimens, all the spots (seven) of the band are 

 unusually small, and completely separated, the three 

 lower ones being minute and fulvous- tinged, both on 

 upper and undersides of the wings. 



The insect may readily be distinguished from L. Cly- 

 i^<sbyits smaller size; darker ground-colour; total want 

 of narrow ochreous band beyond ocellus of fore-wings ; 

 much narrower, paler, and more strongly- curved macular 

 band, and almost obsolete ocellus of the fore-wings — both 

 which markings are much further from the end of the 

 discoidal cell, and nearer to the apex, than in Clytus; 

 and the much wider distance apart (on the underside of 

 the hind-wing) of the two transverse dark stripes at 

 their costal origin. The antennae are rather paler than 

 those of Clytus. 



L. BoivJceri is clearly a lover of high-lying localities, 

 all the recorded specimens having occurred at a tolerable 

 elevation. Mr. Bowker notes it as not rare in Basuto- 

 land.

A single worn specimen of the ? was taken in the 

 Maluti Mountains. It resembled very closely the variety 

 prevalent in Kaffraria and Natal, having the clouding of 

 the hind-wings and the ocelli strongly marked and 

 rather suffused. A much- worn $ , from some part of 

 the country not specially indicated, belonged to the same 

 variety.
