$ . 'Rather darker. Fore-wing : discal row of spots 

 pale-yellow, conspicuous, arranged as on under-side of * 

 with an additional spot just above submedian nervure. 

 Hind-wing : a discal row of three or four suffused yellow 

 spots, representing that of underside of $ . UNDER-SIDE. 

 As in $ t but yellow brighter, and markings more distinct. 



Far. $ . A strong ochrey -yellow suffusion covers nearly 

 whole of hind-wing and basal and inner-marginal region of 

 fore-wing. UNDER-SIDE. Markings rather indistinct. 

 Fore-iving : considerably paler on inner-margin than in type 

 specimens. Hind-wing : no grey on inner-marginal region, 

 which is pale*-yellowish. 



I have very little doubt that Godart's Hottentota is the Variety just 

 characterised ; but as Gudart does not describe the under-side of the 

 insect, I am unable to decide that such is the case. 



Open ground, hillsides, &c.

This active little Pamphila is not very common near Cape Town, but I 

 found it abundantly at Knysna. It haunts little hollows and kloofs in 

 hillsides, taking possession of some tall flower in an open position, and,

 Cape Town belong to the yellow-suffused Variety^ which is also found

? . Dark-brown, with orange-yellow spots. Fore-wings 

 a large, irregularly-shaped, disco-cellular spot ; beyond 

 middle an interrupted, irregular, transverse row of nine 

 spots, of which the first three form one marking close to 

 costa, the fourth and fifth are small and nearest of the row 

 to hind-margin, the sixth and seventh largest and (with the 

 small eighth) contiguous, the ninth being above submedian 

 nervure and in a line below s-pot in cell ; basal portion 

 scaled with orange-yellow. Hind-wing ; same pattern as 

 fore-wing : disco-cellular spot smaller, divided by fold ; 

 transverse row composed of six contiguous spots, com- 

 mencing some distance from costa, and reaching to sub- 

 median nervure, the second spot the largest. Cilia brown ;
