South- Afnean Butterjlies. 73 



inner edge well defined, nearly straight, its outer edge 

 invading the ground colour and slightly radiating on the 

 nervures, but at the same time pierced to a little depth 

 by black internervular rays; immediately adjoining the 

 white internervular marks of cilia, but sometimes dis- 

 tinctly separated from them, a row of six conspicuous 

 more or less rounded spots, of which the first two are 

 smaller than the rest. Underside. — Apical region of fore- 

 wing, and hind-marginal half of hind- wing, dark-brovm. 

 Fore-wing : second spot of band very faintly marked, 

 and, as well as first spot, confused with some grayish- 

 white clouding from apex ; sub-costal nervure whitish for 

 some distance from base. Hind-wing: space between base 

 and inner edge of band ivarm hrovmish-ochreous, with the 

 crossing nervures, an ovate and an elongate spot between 

 costal and sub-costal nervures, a 3-branched longitudinal 

 streak in cell, and a streak on each side of sub-median 

 nervure, hiach; a small ichite spot at origin of median 

 and sub-median nervures ; pale band very much narrower 

 than on upper side, its outer half (except on costa) being- 

 obscured with pale-hroumish, and further jDierced by inter- 

 nervular rays, and marked with two brownish stri^ in 

 cell; hind-marginal spots smaller than above, each divided 

 by a black internervular ray ; between extremity of cell 

 and hind-margin, immediately above discoidal nervule, an 

 ovate ivhitish spot. 



? . Strikingly difierent from c;^ , and closely resembling 

 Danais Echeria, Stoll. 



Fore-wing : in discoidal cell, not far from extremity, 

 and adjoining sub-costal nervure, an oblique white mark, 

 of variable size and shape ; beyond cell, a short, oblique, 

 white bar, crossed by 1st discoidal nervule ; a large, 

 ovate, white spot just below cell, between 2nd and 3rd 

 median nervules (its upper edge sometimes extending 

 over 2nd median) ; a conspicuous spot below apex touching 

 white ruark on cilia, and a sub-marginal row of four other 

 similar white spots, between 1st discoidal nervule and 

 sub-median nervure. Hind- wing : central band j)«/e oc/i- 

 7'eoiis yellow (occasionally dull whitish yellow), broader, 

 its inner edge being nearer base, but so greatly narrowed 

 on costa and — to a less extent— on inner-margin, that it 

 assumes the form of an externally -rounded patch ; mar- 

 ginal spots white^ larger than in c? , the lower ones not 

 so close to the hind-margin, occasionally a small additional 

 one at anal angle. Underside. — Much as in cj, with the 

 exception of the very different white markings of fore-
