304 RHOPALOCERA AFRICA AUSTRALIS. 







Exp. 1 in. 5 lin. 1 in. 8 lin. 



$ . Glossy-brown, tinged with olivaceous ; with vitreous 

 spots. Fore-wing : beyond middle, a transverse row of 

 seven spots (of which the first three are minute, costal, and 

 forming one narrow streak the other four larger, separate, 

 it-he sixth being the largest, and the fourth, which is just 

 above submedian, tinged with yellowish), abruptly angulated 

 inwardly on first median nervule. UNDER-SIDE. Paler; 

 hind-wing and border of fore-wing strongly tinged with 

 olivaceous. Fore-wing : spots as above. Hind-wing .* 

 beyond middle, a row of three small white, thinly fuscous- 

 ringed spots, between first subcostal and third median 

 nervules. 



? . Similar ; vitreous spots larger. UNDER-SIDE. 

 Olivaceous colouring more yellowish. 



A $ specimen in the South African Museum wants all the vitreous 

 spots of Jore-wing but the third, fifth, and sixth; and the two lower spots 

 of those on under-side of hind-wing are visible on the upperside. The 

 olivaceous of underside has an ochreous tinge. There is no doubt 

 that Hopffer's Fatuellus is the same species as Boisduval's Borbonica. 

 Wallengren (loc. tit.) distinguishes the former solely by the whiteness of 

 the spots on under-side of hind-wing, which is a marked character of 

 Borbonica in the figures in "Faune Ent. de Mad.," though it is true that 

 Boisduval has omitted to state the colour of the spots in his description. 

 The latter author nates the species as common in Mauritius and Bourbon.
