and richly coloured. Cramer remarks (Pap. Exot. i. 41) 

 that the specimen figured as P. carcluelis on his pi. xxvi. 

 f. E. F. (in text f. C. D.) was received from the Cape of 

 Good Hope. If his figures are accurate, the specimen 

 in question presented a peculiarity in the pale markings 

 of the underside of the hind-wings, which are depicted 

 as unusually broad and quite white.

Closely allied to /. (Enone, Fabr. (Syst. Ent. 490) .*

$ . Fore-wing : oehre-yellow marking much smaller 

 than in QJnone, paler in its central portion, not covering 

 basal part of wing, but commencing at about the middle 

 of the cell, deeply indented by costal black beyond the 

 middle, but not by any disco-cellular terminal streak. 

 Hind-iving : basal blue spot more violaceous, larger, 

 rounder, not flattened superiorly ; the space between 

 spot and ochre-yellow patch narrower ; the patch itself 

 much smaller, narrower on the inner margin, not extending 

 so far in the direction of the costa; the dark hind-mar- 

 ginal lunular striae, excepting that at the anal angle, 

 scarcely traceable. 



Underside : universally of a less ochreous tint. Fore- 



iving : terminal disco-cellular streak thinner and fainter. 



Hind-wing : the transverse striae fainter, sub-dentate 



instead of sharply crenulate, especially the sub-basal and 



sub-marginal ones. 



$ . Generally similar to c? , but duller. Fore-wing : 



the cell yellow-dusted in basal half, and containing a 



transverse ochreous streak a little before the patch of 



the same colour; the patch itself smaller, commencing 



rather further from the base, more deeply indented with 



black, both superiorly and inferiorly, and crossed by a 



* Linne's brief diagnosis of (Enone in the Systema, and his detailed 

 description in the Museum Ludovicce Ulriece, &c., are unquestionably made 

 from examples of the species figured by Cramer under the name Clelia, 

 fifteen years after the piiblication of the latter work. In the Museum 

 (p. 275) there is, however, described a " Varietas CBnones," which is 

 evidently the Indian (Enone as now recognized. I suppose, therefore, that, 

 in strictness, the name (Enone should attach to Cramer's Cleli.a; but in 

 that case (Enone, auct., would require a new nomination; and it will 

 perhaps be better to let the recognized (Enone stand as " (Enone, Fabr.," 

 the latter author's description in Systema Entomologice (1775) being 

 iinmistakeably that of the butterfly generally known by that name.
