Soutli African Butterflies. 371 



for the small development of the steely centres to the 

 spots on the underside of the fore-wings, which only 

 mark somewhat faintly the five or six spots near the 

 costa, A S from Maseru has an unusually broad apical 

 black border to the fore-wings. 



This beautiful species keeps chiefly about high ground, 

 the most elevated station at which I am aware of its 

 having occurred being the summit of Gaika's Kop, in the 

 Amatola Mountains (at the Southern extremity of the 

 Division of Queenstown) , a peak estimated to rise 6,800 

 feet above the sea, where Mr. Bowker took it on the 

 19th January, 1867. I have taken Chrysaor at Malmes- 

 bury. Port Elizabeth, and near Graham's Town ; and in 

 Natal, near D'Urban ; since the publication of Part II. 

 of my Catalogue in 1866. 



Zeritis Thy she. 



Papilio Thy she, Linn. S. N. ii. 789. 



The specimens, seven in number, received from 

 Maseru, all belong to the race Palmus, Cram., (Pap. 

 Exot. iv. 100, pi. cccxli. f. F. G.), but are smaller than 

 usual, having the bases of the wings more suflTused with 

 fuscous, the hind-marginal black bordering wider, and 

 the cilia strongly alternated with black. One S example 

 has the costa of both wings (but especially that of the 

 hind-wings) strongly clouded with fuscous ; all the spots 

 of the hind-wings singularly elongate posteriorly; and 

 a total want of the external lunulate orange edging 

 usually found between the hind-marginal bordering and 

 the cilia. 



Zeritis Thyra. 



Vapilio Thyra, Linn. S. N. ii. 789. 



The single $ specimen, taken by Mr. Bowker at 

 Koesberg, is of rather small size (expanding only 1 in. 

 2 lin.), and its colou.ring is rather paler than usual. The 

 costal and hind-marginal fuscous borders of the upper- 

 side are in botli wings rather narrow. On the underside.
