126 SOUTH- AFEICAN EUTTERFLIES. 



band, a transverse row of five ocellated spots, of difierent sizes, black, 

 in thin, yellow-ochreous rings, with glistening violet-blue centres 

 pupilled with white, extending from second subcostal nervule to anal 

 angle ; of these ocelli, the second is sometimes wanting, and always 

 small when present, — the fifth, at anal angle, being always hijnipillatCy 

 with scarcely a tinge of the blue central colouring, but in a complete 

 yellow-ochreous ring. Cilia of both wings pale creamy-yelloiv ; brown- 

 chequered in fore-wing, only partly so in hind-wing. Under side. — 

 Paler and duller in colouring, but the surface more glossy and smooth ; 

 yellow-ochreous markings much paler, especially in hind-unng. Fore- 

 wing : in and beyond middle of discoidal cell, a broad, transverse, short, 

 pale-yellowish bar, rather widely black-margined both internally and 

 externally ; basal portion, and hind-margin from apex, ^:)«/(3?' than rest 

 of ground-colour, the latter including two thin, parallel, dark streaks 

 from apex, becoming obsolete a little above anal angle. Hind-wing: 

 of the same hue as base and apex ol fore-wing ; two irregularly zigzag, 

 black, transverse strise before middle, from costa to submedian nervure 

 or a little below it ; on costa, Ictvxen the two stride, a more or less 

 distinct, very pale, yellowish spot, occasionally obsolete or nearly so ; 

 discoidal cell closed by a short, black streak ; pale transverse band 

 edged internally with a sharply-defined, black streak ; ocellated spots 

 very different from those on wppcr side, more equal in size (the second 

 spot ivanting, but a large additional ocellated spot between first and 

 second subcostal nervules), their violet, white-pupilled centre very 

 small, surrounded by dull-golden, black, and pale-yellow rings in a 

 more or less defined, black outer circle ; of these ocelli, the first three 

 are similar, the fourth has a large black centre edged with violet on 

 its inner rim, the fifth has a black, bipupillate centre without violet, 

 and its rings are half-obliterated outwardly ; immediately beyond the 

 fourth ocellus is an oblong space of glistening-violet scales ; from apex, 

 two parallel blackish streaks extend along hind-margin, the inner one 

 ending in the patch of violet scales just described, the outer one reach- 

 ing anal angle. Cilia of wings paler than on upper side. 



$ Slightly duller and 2^aler in colouring, with hroader markings ; 

 the l)lue in ocelli of hind-wing purer than in ^, with scarcely any 

 violet reflection. Fore-ioing : in discoidal cell, near its extremity, a 

 yellow-ochreous bar, similar in size and shape to that on under side of 

 ^ (this marking is sometimes half obliterated). Hind-iuing : second 

 ocellus always wanting, but in some specimens the traces of an addi- 

 tional ocellus between first and second subcostal nervules are visible. 

 Under side. — Like that of ^, but the markings generally hroader and 

 paler. 



The early stages of Tulhaghia were discovered at Highlands, near 

 Grahamstown, by Mrs. F. W. Barber, who in 1864 sent me drawings 

 of them, and a dead specimen of the pupa, from which the following 

 descriptions were made.
