120 Mr. Roland Trimen on 
the Tsomo River, KafFrarIa, in December, and notes it as 
occurring in " open grassy glades between forests npon 
hio-h nionntains, sitting on flowers Avith closed wings." 
]\lrs. liarber, however, who met with the species near 
Bathurst in March, 1870, writes, that it frequented " long 
grass, in rather a low and damp locality, among trees." 
Mr. Schiffman's specimens were captured on one of the 
hills I'ound Grahamstown, but I am not aware in what 
kind of station.

? (?) Glossy brownish-fuscous , tvith an oclireous tinge, 
spotted with white. Forewinr/ : a reniform spot on ex- 
tremity of discoidal cell ; beyond middle a very irregular 
row of 8 spots, of Avhich the first 3 touch each other, and 
form a short costal and sub-a]iical stri])e, the 4th and 5th 
(nearest hind margin) are small and indistinct, and the 7th. 
(immediately below disco-cellular spot) the largest. Ilind- 
wi/if/ : an indistinct yello\\'ish-white spot marks extremity 
of discoidal cell. Cilia varied with fuscous and Avhite. 
Underside. — HiJidwing and costal and apical border of 
forewing hoary-grcy, varied with broivnish. Forewing : 
a small Avhitish spot immediately al)ove disco-cellular spot ; 
5 minute white marks on costal edge, of which the 4th ad- 
joins first 3 spots of transverse row ; 4th and 5th s])ots of 
transverse row merged in an oblique apical marking of 
hoary-grey. Ilindwing : an elongate Avhite mark in dis- 
coidal cell before middle is scarcely separated from a large 
irregular tchite marking occripying extremity of cell, and 
extending to a hoary-grey hind-marginal suff'usion ; this 
marking is joined, at its u]i])er portion, h\ an oblique white 
stripe from casta about middle ; between median and sub- 
median nervures an ill-dejined longitudinal ichite stripe, 
extending from near base to join hind-marginal, hoary-grey 
near anal angle. 
The palpi and abdomen are wanting in the single speci- 
men from which the above description has been made. 
From the form of the wings I am disposed to think it a $ 
example.
