RHOPALOCERA AFRIO35 AUSTRALIS. 



$ . White, with black hind-marginal spots. Fore-wing ; 

 base slightly blackish and widely flushed with orange ,- 

 marginal spots as in Agathina, as well as apical blackish ; 

 costal edging much narrower especially beyond middle. 

 Hind-wing : base slightly blackish, and faintly tinged with 

 orange ; marginal spots small, especially two next costa. 

 UNDER-SIDE. Fore-wing : no basal blackish, orange suffu- 

 sion deeper, broader ; spots more conspicuous, those at apex 

 not enlarged and confluent, but similar to the rest. Hind- 

 wing : white ; spots larger and more distinct than above ; 

 costa near base bordered with orange. 



? . More or less suffused universally with pale creamy- 

 ochreous, into which basal orange gradually fades, the 

 nervules beyond middle conspicuous as white rays. Fore- 

 wing : marginal spots larger, more elongate, especially those 

 forming apical marking. Hind-wing : spots larger. UNDER- 

 SIDE. Similar to that of # , but the ground often more or 

 less yellowish ; spots very black and conspicuous, but not 

 large. 



The typical West African Poppea seems to have the marginal spots very 

 large and elongate, radiating on the nervules. Mr. D'Urban first made me 

 aware of this species being a South African native, he having captured two 

 specimens in British Kaffraria. Mr. Bowker has since taken several 

 examples in the Transkeian territory. The delicate structure of the 

 wings, and the orange basal suffusion on upper-side readily distinguish 

 this species from Agathina.

? . White, with pale-orange apical patch. Fore-wing : 

 costa blackish-edged ; inner-marginal black very broad, com- 

 pletely filling discoidal cell, its outer edge sharply defined 

 (being concavely excised at end of cell, abruptly truncate 

 on median nervules a little beyond middle, and from third 

 median extending, slightly hollowed, to inner-margin 

 considerably before middle) ; below third median, almost 

 touching extremity of black space, a good-sized ill-defined 

 spot ; apical patch traversed by a sub-macular black stripe
