oblique, apical streak is formed by the confluence of the 
first spots of the two rows ; cellular region and costa ad- 
jacent suffused with fulvous-yellow from base ; between 
median nervure and inner margin an irregular, elongate, 
fuscous marking. Hindwing : spots arranged similarly to 
those in forewing, l)ut more suffused and indistinct, espe- 
cially in basal region and beyond middle towards lower 
part of hind margin, where there is a clouding of brownish- 
fuscous ; anal-angular fulvous-ochreous spot smaller than 
on ujiperside, and edged inferiorly with black. 
This curious little sjjccies appears to constitute a passage 
between the genera A])hn(Eus and Zeritis ; the upperside 
of the wings, with a blue gloss' and fidvous anal-angular 
spot (but without the usual yellow-ochreous markings), 
resembling that prevalent in the former genus, while the 
metallic-centred spots of the underside are so similar in 
arrangement and appearance to the characteristic spotting 
o^ Zeritis (and ])articularly to that of the little Z. Phosphor, 
milii) that, until I detected the remains of a second tail on 
each hindwing, I was strongly disposed to place the butter- 
fly in the latter genus. 
I am indebted to jNIiss Fanny Bowker, of Pembroke, near 
King William's Town, for the only specimen that I have 
seen ; it was taken by her on a low shrub (a species of 
Euclea), on the border of a Avood at Tharfield, in the 
Division of Bathurst. About the same bush were several 
Zeritis Chrysaor, Trimen ; and Mrs. Barber informs me 
that Ehenacea of the genus Euclea are the plants most 
fre(piented by the species of Zeritis in the Eastern Dis- 
tricts of the Colony.

thence forming a rather wide and tolerably even band to 
anal angle ; base slightly clouded with fuscous. Hindwing :
