24S SOTJTH-AERICAK BUTTERFLIES. 



wing. In outline the projections of botli wings are much shorter and 

 Llunter, especially in the male. 



In several of the characters noted, S. ncbulosa approaches the Mada- 

 gascarene 8. Duprcci, Vinson, but it altogether wants the long anal- 

 angular tail of the hind-wing so conspicuous in that species, and has 

 much larger dark markings in the hind- wing ; while the blunt sub- 

 apical projection of the fore- wing is totally different from the long 

 process so conspicuous in S. Duprcei} 



Three specimens of this butterfly — a male and two females — were taken 

 near St. Lucia Bay, in Zululantl, by the late Colonel H. ToAver in the year 

 1 86 7, and presented to me by him in the following year. It was not until 

 1878 that I saw another example, Colonel J. H. Bowker having, in November 

 of that year, forwarded to the South-African Museum a female found by him 

 in a collection of insects made at D'Urban, Natal, by a resident there. 

 Colonel Bowker has recently sent me a male captured by himself in the neigh- 

 bourhood of D'Urban. 



Mrs. Monteiro's collection contains a fine female taken at Delagoa Bay ; 

 and there are three specimens in Mr. Henley Grose Smith's collection, which 

 were sent, I believe, from some part of Tropical Eastern Africa. 



Three examples which I have seen from the Gold Coast, one of which is 

 in the collection of the South-African Museum, differ slightly from those above- 

 mentioned in having the black markings of the ujDper side less developed, 

 although much more so than in Anacardii.

^ S. defmita, Butler {Ann. and Mag. Nat. Jlist., Sept. 1879, p. 230), is nearly allied to 

 S. Duprcei, and also inhabits Madagascar ; in the much less falcated fore-wings and smaller 

 size (especially of the £ ), it makes 5.ome approach to S. nelulosa.
