As Boisduval remarks, this Diadema bears a striking resemblance to 

 Danais Niacia, Linn., a well-known African butterfly. 



I). Ditbia is met with in the Botanic Garden at Port Natal, one being 

 taken while I was there, on the 23rd June, 1865, but it aeems to be far 

 from common.

The rery deceptive likeness of the ? Solina to Danais Chrysippus 

 is well known, the remarkable dissimilarity between the sexes render- 

 ing it the more noticeable; but it was only recently that, while discus- 

 sing with Mr. Layard the mimetic analogies between Danais and Diet- 

 dema, the model of the $ Bolina was discovered in Danais Ochlea, a 

 species inhabiting Eastern and South-Eastern Africa. The mimicry is 

 far less perfect in the latter than ia the former case, but is nevertheless 

 very apparent. 



Bolina is. in South Africa, a butterfly of irregular appearance. Mr. 

 Bowker writes that he did not notice it in Kaffraria during the years 

 186061, and 62, but that in 1863, in the months of February and 

 March, it came out " in hundreds." In April of the latter year several 

 pecimena were met with near Cape Town, as well as in other parts of 

 the Western Province of Cape Colony. I took both $ and $ at 

 D'Urban, Port Natal, on 23rd June, 1865.

This species was taken by Mr. Kitton with H. Alcimeda, at the ame 

 time and place. The Archdeacon describes it as " fond of lighting on 

 the ground, which was very muddy ; plentiful, and easy to catch with 

 a net." The specimen forwarded to me wanti the disco-cellular 

 markings^
