SATYRIN^. 99 



Hind-wing and apex of fore-wing very slightly paler than the rest of the 

 surface. Fore-wing : a row of spots as above, but the fifth and sixth 

 spots more or less tinged with fulvous, and a faint trace of a seventh 

 spot (also fulvous) below the first median nervule ; a spot, and a curved 

 stria beyond the spot, rather darker than the ground-colour, about the 

 middle of the discoidal cell ; two parallel dark lines along hind-margin, 

 the inner one becoming obsolete about the second discoidal nervule. 

 Hind-ioing : a short dark transverse streak in discoidal cell, near base ; 

 a dark line closing the cell ; two somewhat suffused dark stripes across 

 the wing, one (edged with greyish scaling outwardly) before the middle, 

 dentate, but continuous and tolerably regular, the other (edged witli 

 greyish scaling inwardly) irregular, more strongly dentate, and abruptly 

 interrupted on the third median nervule ; ocelli seven (but that nearest 

 the costa small and indistinct, or sometimes wanting), usually ill- 

 defined, in brownish-ochreous rings ; two parallel marginal lines dis- 

 tinct throughout. 



^ D idler, more reddish. Fore-iving : the first (costal) spot of 

 curved transverse row wanting, and the second, third, and fourth spots 

 much reduced in size ; all spots except the second dull-rufous instead, 

 of whitish ; ordinary apical ocellus much better defined than in ^, — 

 below it two similar ocelli, of which the lower is smaller and externally 

 edged with rufous. Hind-iving : ocelli larger, more distinct, their 

 rufous lings much wider and paler. Under side. — Fore-wing : row of 

 spots as on upper side, but the three upper ones all more or less 

 whitish ; lowest of three ocelli obsolete. Hind-wing : greyish scaling 

 of transverse striae much better developed ; ocelli more distinct. 



In two examples Q) the small and imperfect ocellus of the fore- 

 wing is accompanied, on the upper side only, by a minute black spot, 

 below and separate from it, on the outer edge of the third spot in the 

 whitish band. In one of the Bashee River specimens, all the spots 

 (seven) of the band are unusually small, and completely separated, the 

 three lower ones being minute and fulvous-tinged, both on upper and 

 under sides of the wings ; while in a Katberg example, taken by Mrs. 

 Barber, they are all very small indeed, — the three lower ones being all 

 but obsolete. 



The ^ may readily be distinguished from Z. Clytus by its smaller 

 size ; darker ground-colour ; total want of narrow ochreous hand beyond 

 ocellus of fore-wings ; much narrower, paler, and more strongly-cuo^ved 

 macular hand, and almost obsolete ocellus of the fore-wings, — both which 

 markings are much farther from the end of the discoidal cell, and 

 nearer to the apex, than in Clytus, and the much wider distance apart 

 (on the under side of the hind-wing) of the tioo transverse dark stripes at 

 their costal origin. The antennae are rather paler than those of Clytus. 

 These differences also characterise the $ Bowkeri, except that the latter 

 presents three small ocelli in the fore-wing, and is not so dark in 

 ground-colour.
