SATYRIN^. 109 



the 4th March 1867 I again met with the species at Mapumulo, between the 

 Umvoti and Tugela Eivers, capturing one of each sex among grass at the bottom 

 of a deep ravine. Captain H. C. Harford, who sent me a ^ from Pinetown, 

 taken in January 1869, also noted the butterfly as occurring among long grass. 

 In Xatal it is rather a scarce species, Colonel Bowker having forwarded sino-le 

 specimens only from Avoca in August 1878 and from the Lower Umkomazi 

 in February 1883 respectively. Its range northward must, however, be great, 

 as, besides examples found between the Limpopo and Zambesi by Mr. T. 

 Ayres, the South-African Museum possesses a pair taken by Colonel Bowker 

 at Zanzibar in September 1878. These specimens, as well as four others taken 

 by M. Selous in North- West Transvaal, all have the ocelli well developed, and 

 quite agree with the JSTatalian type.

^ Verij pale ochre-ydloio ; fore- wing slightly deeper in tint., and 

 with a costal-apical bordering of reddish-brown ; common to both wings, 

 a fine transverse discal darker line, relieved externally by a lighter 

 line or streak, and two slightly-sinuated submarginal darker lines 

 (very faintly marked in hind-wing), Fore-iving : brown border com- 

 mencing faintly at base, continued narrowly along costa as far as ex- 

 tremity of discoidal cell, and thence darkening and widening into a 

 good-sized apical patch, ill-defined interiorly, which extends along 

 hind-margin as far as end of second median nervule ; inner of two sub- 

 marginal lines developed into a strongly-marked streak of brown, darker 

 than that of apical patch .; a small black, white-pupilled, yellow-ringed 

 ocellus near apex between the radial nervules, and a similar, much 

 larger, conspicuous ocellus on disc, between first and second median 

 nervules. Hind-wing: a discal series of three minute, similar, but 

 very imperfect uon-pupillate ocelli between third median nervule and
