Butterflies of Southern Africa. 121 
This species is at once distinguished from all its con- 
geners in South Africa by the remarkable disposition of 
the white markings of its underside, which indeed are un- 
like those presented by any member of the Hesperidce that 
I can call to mind. 
I have named this curious butterfly in honour of my 
friend Mrs. Barber, of Highlands, near Grahamstown, 
whose kind and valuable aid in working out the lihopa- 
locerous fauna I have had such frequent occasion to ac- 
knowledge in previous papers. The single specimen 
described was taken by Mrs. Barber in October, 1871, 
" among long grass and rushes near water" in the Storm- 
bergen, a range of mountains forming the boundary be- 
tween the Queenstown and Albert Divisions. 
Hab. — Stormbergen, Cape Colony. In the collection 
of K. Trimen. 
Cyclopides Meninx, n. sp. (PI. I. fig. 12.) 
Exp. 10^ lin. 
$ Dull brown, ivithout markings. Underside. — 
Foreimng : on hind-marginal edge a row of 4 small, tri- 
angular, inter-nervular , yelloio spots between apex and 
3rd median nervule, diminishing in size from the apical 
spot. Hindiving : a row of 6 similar, larger spots on hind- 
marginal edge, the 1st (at apex) linear, the last just 
above sub-median nervure; two broad, ichite, longitudinal 
stripes, one commencing abruptly in discoidal cell near ex- 
tremity, and joining 3rd spot on hind margin ; the other 
running from base between median and sub-median ner- 
vures, and ending suffusedly before 6th spot ; a narrow 
white edging to inner margin. 
This species is allied to C. Menes, Cramer {Pap. Exot. 
t. cccxciii. ff. H. 1 ), but is at once recognized by its want 
of the conspicuous apical yellow streaks on upperside of 
the forewings, and by its possession of two Avhite stripes 
on underside of the hindwings.* Menes is a native of 
Tropical South America, though Cramer gives for it the 
* Stoll's figure of C. 3Ienes (Siipjjl. Cram., t. vii., f. 6 G) represents the 
subcostal nervure of forewings coloured ochreous-yellow from the base 
almost to the middle. This character is also prominent in C. (Anry- 
lo.Tj/pJia) graciliit, Felder, from New Granada, which maybe identical 
with Stoll's insect, though the underside of its hindwings is conspicuously 
clouded with ochrey-whitish. Vide "Keise der Novara," Lep. iii., p. 520, 
t. Ixxiv., f. 28.
