Explanation of Plate IX. 



Injuries to wings op South African Butterflies. 



Injuries inflicted at the apex or hind margin of one or both fore- 

 wings, or near the overlap of fore- and hind-wings, or at two or more 

 points in the total win^' margin. 



All the figures are about f of the natural size. 



All the specimens were captured, on the dates mentioned, at 

 Salis1)ur3', Mashonaland, 5000 feet, by Guy A. K. Marshall. 



Fig. 1. Lininas clirysip-pus ? , Sept. 22, 1900. Vciy rarely settles 

 on the ground, so that the attacks of lizards are not likely 

 to be common. 



2. Parosmodes icteria, March 9, 1898. Found in the bush and 



woodland districts, settling on flowers. Probably injured 

 when flying, as it rests with its wings closed. 



3. Jnnonia cehrene (^ , Feb. 15, 1899. Settles on the ground, 



injuries were very probably inflicted by a lizard. 



4. Acrsea anemosa ^, March 11, 1899. Flies high for an 



Acnea, and never .settles on ground : feeds on tree flowers, 

 and usually at some height. The injury was probably 

 caused l)y a bird. 



5. L. chnjdppiis $, March 11, 1898. 



6. C'atudirijsopsmashinui (;J , Sept. 29, 1900. Flies very rapidly, 



settles on low flowers and the ground, rests at night on 

 grass-stems. The injury was probably caused by a 

 lizard. 



7. A. cmemosa $, Jan. 2, 1899. 



8. Temcolns omphaU ^, March 31, 1901. Flies rapidly, 



settles on low flowers and ground, so that lizards are 

 probable enemies, but the narrow symmetrical notch 

 rather suggests a bird's beak. 



9. Atella phalanfha (^, Marc-h 22, 1899. Flies rapidly, settling 



on bushes and flowers and not on the ground. Birds are 

 the probable enemies. 



10. L. chrijsip2)iis $ , July 14, 1901. 



11. L. chri/sippvs 5 j Jin. 2, 1898. The evidence of crumpling, 



the scratching of the surface, as well as the extensive 

 injuries point to the probable attack of a mantis. 



12. A. jjhaJantha 9, March 5, 1899. Tips of both fore -wings 



snipped oft', probably by a bird.
