PIERID.E. 57 



about half the area of fore-wing. Fore-wing : apical patch 

 with no internal blackish margin, and externally only very 

 narrowly edged with faint-brownish, which extends but very 

 little on either side of apex the orange reaching nearly to 

 anal angle, and slightly infringing on extremity of discoidal 

 cell ; base very narrowly marked with blackish ; no disco- 

 cellular spot ; costal edge very faintly tinged with pale- 

 brownish ; fringe pale reddish-brownish as far as third median 

 nervule, between which and anal angle it is sulphur-yellow. 

 Hind-wing : spotless ; base very narrowly marked with black- 

 ish ; fringe sulphur-yellow as far as second or third median 

 nervule thence, along inner-margin to base, pale russet- 

 brownish. UNDER-SIDE. Fore-wing : ground-colour paler 

 than on upper-side ; position of apical patch only indicated 

 by a deeper shade of yellow ; costa narrowly, apex more 

 widely, tinged with very faint brownish the apex, in ad- 

 dition, mottled or irrorated with pale-brownish atoms ; along 

 hind-margin, a row of minute black dots between nervules, 

 and two similar dots on costa immediately before apex. 

 Hind-wing : dull, pale, reddish-ochreous (paler on apical half 

 of hind-marginal portion), rather thickly irrorated with 

 brownish atoms ; on costa, beyond middle, a faint blackish 

 mark, which, with some much fainter marks between first 

 median nervule and sub-median nervure, indicate an angu- 

 lated macular stripe across wing ; along hind-margin, a row 

 of minute black dots between nervules. Apex of fore-wing 

 more acute than in any of the South African species I have 

 seen. 



$ . Ground-colour much paler, sometimes nearly white ; 

 orange apical patch paler and duller t with very slight pink 

 gloss. Fore-wing : a rather large, black, disco-cellular spot ; 

 beyond it a curved, transverse row (nearly parallel to hind- 

 margin) of five, good-sized, blackish spots, crossing the 

 orange the first and second respectively above and below 

 first discoidal nervule, the third and fourth respectively 

 above and below second median nervule, the fifth and 

 largest between third median nervule and submedian nervure ; 

 base and costa greyish ; apical patch margined outwardly 

 with blackish, which slightly indents the orange on nervules, 

 forming a large blackish mark at anal angle, below and 

 touching the orange. Hind-wing : along hind-margin a row 

 of large, ill-defined, blackish spots, at extremities of nervules, 

 but not reaching further than extremity of second median 

 nervule. UNDER-SIDE. Similar to that of $ . Fore-wing : 

 white, or very pale yellowish ; disco-cellular spot and row of 

 spots as on upper-side, but not so strongly marked ; costa
