NYMPH ALID^E. 141 



in darker portion, rather larger, commonly contiguous, the 

 row continued to third median nervule by two pale markings, 

 immediately beneath which is a large, whitish spot ; a little 

 before this spot, and likewise immediately beneath third 

 median nervule, is a similar, slightly smaller whitish spot ; 

 ocellate spots distincter than above, particularly the two 

 immediately below small white costal spot, the two lowest 

 ones rounder, in thin yellow rings ; hind-margin varied with 

 whitish-grey. Hind-wing : sometimes, an additional, basal, 

 dull-red mark in discoidal cell, the other transverse marks 

 frequently extending above and below cell ; some indistinct, 

 darker, waved striae cross wing before middle; just beyond 

 middle, a more or less distinct, dull-red, outwardly dark- 

 margined streak crosses from costa to inner-margin a little 

 before anal angle ; ocelli mostly rather conspicuous ; streaks 

 beyond, parallel to margin, tinged with blue, especially near 

 anal angle; the hind-margin more or less varied with violaceous 

 or whitish-grey. 



In some specimens the under-side is much suffused and the 

 markings indistinct and without the usual red tint ; the trans- 

 verse stripe on hind-wing is, however, very conspicuous, and 

 commences with two white markings on costa. In others, the 

 under-side is much tinged with a bronzey lustre, and with the 

 ocellated spots scarcely visible. 



This plainly-coloured, but elegant, insect appears to be only known from 

 the vicinity of Natal, where it would seem to be not uncommon.

Fore-wing strongly falcate at extremity of first discoidal 

 nervule, and with a considerable prominence of outline at 

 extremity of third median nervule ; hind-wing with a short, 

 moderately-wide, rather acute, tail -like projection on first 

 median nervule, anal angle produced into a pointed projection.
