302 RHOPALOCERA AFRICJE AUSTRALIA 



orange-yellow at anal angles. UNDER-SIDE. Fore-wing : 

 spots as above, but much paler ; costal and apical regions 

 yellow with a greenish tinge. Hind-wing : spots uniting 

 with costal and hind-marginal colouring to form a pale- 

 yellow ground-colour, on which the portions dark on 

 upperside take the form of a median and submarginal 

 macular fuscous band, the latter, incomplete band joining 

 a wide blackish space at anal angle, which narrows 

 gradually to base along inner- marginal fold ; inner-margin 

 itself bordered with ground-colour ; three small fuscous 

 spots form a short transverse row near base. 



Above, this species bears much resemblance to Hopffer's East African 

 P. Herilus, but wants the longitudinal inner-marginal yellow streak in 

 both wings, as well as some yellow lines on costa of fore-wing: beneath, 

 however, its markings are very different, especially as regards the anal 

 angles, which are fuscous in both wings, while in P. Herilus they are 

 respectively whitish and pale-yellow.

Brown, with ochreous markings and vitreous spots. Fore- 

 wing : a costal stripe from near base, ending abruptly at 

 extremity of cell where it joins a good-sized quadrate spot 

 marked with two small vitreous spots ; this spot being part 

 of a band (interrupted on first median nervule) which is 

 marked with two other vitreous spots above second median 

 and reaches inner-margin, where it is joined by an indented 

 stripe from base ; near apex, two elongate spots, the upper 

 of which includes a vitreous dot. Hind-wing : a short, 

 abruptly upward-angulated streak from base ; a large ovate 

 patch on disc ; an anal-angular marginal streak. UNDER- 

 SIDE. Fore-wing : costal stripe broader at base and pro- 

 duced as far as apical spot ; a macular streak just within 

 hind-margin, and two dots immediately before it. Hind-' 

 wing : ochreous ; seven black spots in basal portion ; and 

 two submarginal rows of black spots, interrupted in their 

 central part. Tip of abdomen whitish beneath.
