158 RHOPALOCERA AFRICA AUSTRALIS. 



shaped like the figure 8 ; beyond cell three transverse rows 

 of white spots commence on costa, first row considerably 

 sinuate, from costa beyond middle to inner-margin a little 

 before middle, consisting of seven or eight spots (only black- 

 edged on their inner side), second row straighter, consisting 

 of eight spots ringed with black, but not extending below 

 submedian nervure, third row close and parallel to hind- 

 margin, small, lunular, only black edged on their inner side 

 (the first spot, in $ , enlarged so as to form a small white tip 

 to wing, at apex ) ; fringe narrow, lightly varied with white. 

 Hind-wing : three transverse rows of spots in fore-wing con- 

 tinued across this wing, the innermost and middle rows only 

 as far as third median nervule, the outer row to anal angle ; 

 a thin black ring in discoidal cell, another closing cell, and a 

 third, indistinct one touching the latter ring superiorly ; 

 fringe spotted with white. UNDER-SIDE. Rich-ochreous, 

 tinged with brown, deeper towards hind-margins : spots 

 mostly rather larger than on upper-side, but not so sharply 

 defined ; second transverse row of spots grey-margined on 

 their outer edge, making them appear ocellated ; spots in 

 outer row united to hind-marginal edge by short dark-grey 

 streaks. Fore-wing : a greyish space at anal angle ; annular 

 streak at extremity of discoidal cell enclosing a whitish space. 

 Hind-wing: first and second rows of spots both extending to 

 submedian nervure by an additional spot ; black rings in cell 

 enclosing white spots. 



In some specimens, the ground-colour of underside is more obscured 

 than described above, and the white spots are indistinct.
