? . Exp. 9 lin. 



Dark-brown ; cilia greyish-white. Hind-wing : between 

 discoidal nervule and anal angle, three to four hind-marginal 

 black spots, inwardly bordered by broad, contiguous, orange 

 lunules. UNDER-SIDE. Brownish-grey : pattern of markings 

 very like that of L. Knysna (especially the variety of the ? ). 

 Fore-wing : no spots before lunule closing cell ; row of spots 

 beyond middle not so curved costally ; submarginal lunules 

 and white edging of marginal line more conspicuous. Hind- 

 wing : row of spots beyond middle less acutely-arched, only 

 the first and last black, the others being filled with the 

 ground-colour ; orange lunules broad, confluent, suffusing the 

 black spots, which are outwardly brilliantly gold-dusted, 

 inwardly faintly whitish-edged ; row of spots near base 

 larger, more conspicuous. 



The synonymy is taken from Wallengren. I am unacquainted with the 

 $ , which ia not described by Wallengren. The orange lunules and gilded 

 spots of under-side readily distinguish the species from L. Knysna and 

 L. Lysimon.
