PapUio Ilip'pia, Cramer, Pap. Exot. iii. 48, pi. ccxxii. 

 f. C, D. 



I have met with no example exactly corresponding 

 with Cramer's figures, which represents a ? in which 

 the fulvous on the upperside is mdely developed, in the 

 fore- wings extending to the base, and the outermost of 

 the two incomplete lines crossing the underside of the 

 hind-wings is unusually distinct and dentate. The 

 Basuto-land $ specimens, however, are nearer to 

 Cramer's type than those which I have taken near Cape 

 Town and Graham's Town, as far as the upperside is 

 concerned, though the underside of the hind-wings is 

 less hoary, and inclining to ochreous. The marked 

 feature in the examples sent by Mr. Bowker is the 

 prominence of the apical ocellus on the underside of the 

 hind-wings, which is obsolete in all the Colonial speci- 

 mens that I have examined, except in the S from King 

 William's Town, mentioned in my published Catalogue 

 (p. 200) . But even among the Basuto individuals this 

 feature is most variable : among nineteen received, five 

 (including two ? ) exhibit no trace of it; one has it very 

 small ; five present it small, but distinct ; two ( J and $ ) 

 possess it of a moderate size ; five have it large ; and 

 one (a (J) has it very large and conspicuous. The anal- 

 angular ocellus is much less prominent, and only appears 

 on the upperside, as in Cramer's fig. C, in two specimens, 

 which have the apical ocellus of the underside large; and 

 one of these presents on the underside, in the right hind- 

 wing only, an additional small ocellus adjoining that near 

 the apex.

The species is widely spread in South Africa, frequent- 

 ing mountainous or hilly ground.

The Basuto-land specimens agree exactly with Wal- 

 leugron's descnption, with the trifling exception that the
