122 SOUTH-AFEICAIT BUTTERFLIES. 



entire disk ochre-yellow ; a brown suffusion over basal and inner- 

 marginal region and narrowly along costa ; a moderately broad hind- 

 marginal border of dark-brown, traversed by two parallel lunulated 

 pale-brown streaks, of which the outer is well-marked ; beyond middle 

 a row of five black ocelli with minute bluish-white centres ; of these, 

 the first' (close to costa) and the second (between second subcostal and 

 radial nervules) are widely separated from each other and from the other 

 three (which lie between the third median nervule and anal angle), and 

 the fourth is the smallest and usually bipupillate. Under side. — 

 Hind-wing and base and apex of fore-wing jpale-h'own, varied with dull 

 cream-colour, and streaked with darh-hrown. Fore-wing : four bluish- 

 white, irregularly-shaped spots in discoidal cell near its extremity, and 

 a fifth (minute) just beyond cell ; the second and third white spots of 

 outer transverse row (close to apex) ringed with yellow, and the third 

 also with an inner black ring so as to constitute a perfect ocellus ; the 

 apical pale-brown extends along great part of hind-margin and is 

 traversed by two parallel slightly-sinuated dark-brown submarginal 

 streaks. Hind-wing : basal region crossed by three extremely irregular 

 dark-brown striae, of which the outermost is greatly interrupted but 

 joins the innermost by a longitudinal streak running between sub- 

 median and internal nervures ; an independent short stria marking 

 extremity of discoidal cell ; ocelli more elaborate than on upper side, 

 all in yellow rings outwardly brown-edged and containing a more or 

 less incomplete internal blue iris ; occasionally a sixth small ocellus 

 situated between the first and second, but usually only a very faint 

 circular spot there ; the three lower ocelli surrounded by dark-brown 

 clouding ; the two submarginal brown striee conspicuous on the pale 

 ground. 



^ Like the ^, but duller and paler in colour ; the lohite ohlique 

 costal bar of fore-wing considerably broader. On under side of fore-wing 

 the two inner bluish spots in discoidal cell are enlarged and sometimes 

 confluent, forming a short rather wide bar indented outwardly. 



Intimately allied to D. dendrojjhilus, Trimen, but at once known by 

 the very cons2nciious white spots of the fore-ioings, particularly those of 

 the inner row, which in D. dcndrophilus are always small and ochreous 

 and externally ill-defined or sufiused, and in some specimens almost 

 indistinguishable from the general ochreous clouding. The continuous 

 costal bar formed by the conjunction of the upper four spots of this 

 row is the most striking feature of this character ; it is quite constant in 

 the male, and more developed in the females that I have seen. The 

 larger size and darker ground-colour as well as the much brighter 

 ochre-yellow of the hind-wings are also very noticeable in Indosa, the 

 female being in proportion to the male very much larger than is the case 

 in Dcndrophilus; while the under side of the hind-wings is paler and more 

 variegated. The ocelli are larger and more conspicuous than in Dcn- 

 drophilus, and are much more constant in number (five) and position ;
