than in ^ ; rings of ocelli in hind-tuing more distinct and faintly tinged 

 vnth fulvous. Fore-wing : transverse fuscous streak bounded interiorly 

 by well-marked fulvous clouding. Hind-wing : transverse fuscous 

 streak exteriorly edged with somewhat suffused fulvous. Under side. 

 — Fore-iving: fulvous extending more or less fully over disc as far as 

 lower part of creamy macular stripe (sometimes covering the lowest 

 spot). Hind-ioing : white clouding of neuration and of transverse 

 streaks much more restricted, but at the same time much more clearly 

 defined ; rings of ocelli much more distinct — in one case quite clear 

 creamy-yellow. 



This butterfly looks so very like a mere aberration of L. Cli/tus (Linn.), 

 that I should not have been disposed to treat it as distinct had not specimens 

 (the first that reached me) of both sexes been lately — 1883-84 — sent from 

 Burghersdorp, in the north-east of the Cape Colony, by Dr. D. R. Kannemeyer, 

 with the information from that careful observer that it was tlie prevalent form 

 of Leptonewa in that vicinity. The differences noted in the above description 

 seem to be constant, but more material is necessary to make this clear. The 

 exact locality of the well-coloured 5 figured by Geyer in the " Zutrao-e " 

 quoted is not recorded, but it is not unlikely that the specimen was taken near 

 Cape Town. Alintha is, however, in contrast to Clytus, extremely rare in this 

 locality, as I have never yet met with it, and the only example known to me 

 as certainly found in the neighbourhood is a $ captured at Tokai, in the Cape 

 District, by the late Mr. H. W. Oakley, Assistant- Curator of the South- African 

 Museum, on the 4th April 1884. Mr. Oakley revisited the spot, but did not 

 obtain any other specimens, though he informed me that he believed one 

 Leptoneura which escaped capture belonged to the form in question.
