246 SOUTH-AFEICAN BUTTEEFLIES. 



such occasions it is generally a pair that appears, the male flying round the 

 female. Colonel Bowker informs me that he observed several females ovi- 

 positing in the Berea Woods, near D'Urban, on 23d November 1879 ; ^^^^ 

 greenish eggs were deposited singly on the under side of the upper leaves of a 

 herbaceous plant in the underwood. 



I have published in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society^ of 

 London the same observer's account of his capture of a male Anacardii paired 

 with the female of a Saturnide moth (Aphelia ApolUnaris, Westw.) of some- 

 what similar appearance.

$ Iridescent whitish, with fuscous markings. Forc-iving : a well- 

 defined pale bluisli-grey basal cloud reaching as far as middle of 

 discoidal cell ; upper disco-cellular nervule with a thin curved fuscous 

 mark ; apical area widely fuscous, from costa a little beyond end of cell 

 to end of second median nervule on hind-margin ; inner edge of this 

 apical patch irregularly excavated ; near apex three white spots, of 

 which the second (close to subapical projection) is divided by a trans- 

 verse fuscous streak, and the third is indistinct; lower portion of 

 hind-marginal fuscous narrowly continued to posterior angle by rather 

 suffused hind-marginal and submarginal fuscous streaks ; near the 

 inner of these streaks, between second median nervule and submedian 

 nervure, two fuscous spots, rather large, obliquely placed, and slightly 

 suffused. Jlind-toing : a basal grey suffusion, narrower and less dis- 

 tinct than in fore- wing ; immediately before hind-margin a parallel 

 fuscous streak, preceding which is a lunulate, suffused, fuscous streak, 

 becoming irregular and less distinct in its lower portion, but with the 

 outer streak enclosing six more or less ill-defined whitish marks ; a
