SATYRIN/E. 83 



obscure-fulvous area very ill-defined, barely attaining outer ring of 

 ocellus, but descending as far as submedian nervure. Hind-wing : 

 obscure-fulvous area only occupying lower and outer half of cell, but 

 extendiug beyond over median nervules (and a little above and below 

 them) to not far from hind-margin. Under side, — Hind-wing hoary, 

 closely speckled with Irown ; a little heyond middle, a well-defined, irre- 

 gular, rather llunthj dentate, darh-hroiun transverse streak. Fore-wing : 

 fulvous much paler and better defined ; apex paler than rest of margin 

 and speckled with brown, Ilind-iving : costa marked with some very 

 small fuscous spots ; before middle, a very indistinct, irregular, in- 

 terrupted transverse dark-brown streak ; streak beyond middle most 

 strongly dentate in its median portion ; not far from hind-margin, two 

 minute black whitQ,-unipupillate ocelli, one between subcostal nervules, 

 the other between first and second median nervules, 



$ Fulvous in hoth wings pcder, 'better defined. Fore-wing : apical 

 ocellus considerably larger, its pale outer ring better defined. Hind- 

 wing : a very minute ocellus, with a white centre between first and 

 second median nervules. Under side, — As in ^, but the hind-wing 

 with coarser mottling, inclining to striolation, with the streak before 

 middle almost obsolete, and that beyond middle less distinct and rather 

 suffused. 



Burchell's very brief diagnosis leaves it doubtful whether his Mon- 

 tana is identical with Cramer's species, but his rough woodcut of the 

 upper side (though it gives two small ocelli near the anal angle of the 

 hind-wings instead of one) evidently depicts the fulvous area in both 

 wings as occupying the same spaces ; and this character (coupled with 

 the conspicuous dark-brown streak beyond the middle on the under 

 side of the hind-wings) affords the best distinction of the true Hippia, 

 the area in question being so much larger (especially in the fore-wing, 

 where it extends almost to the base) than in the nearly-allied P. vigilans, 

 Trim.

I have seen but two examples (a $ and a $ ) which are strictly referable to 

 the Hipjna of Cramer, — the numerous specimens mentioned under that name 

 in lihojxdocera Africoi Ausfralis being, I am now of opinion, of a different 

 though very closely-related species. 



These two examples were captured by myself near Cape Town, on the sum- 

 mit of the southern part of the Table Mountain range, in February 1864 and 

 January 1865. Dr. Burchell's insect is also noted as having been taken on 

 the summit of the eastern side of Table Mountain on the 24th January 181 1. ,
