330 SOUTH-AFKICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



first median nervule somewhat longer and slightly curved upward ; 

 cilia white. Under side. — Ferruginous ; the common discal hand, and 

 a narrow transverse hand hefore middle of hind-iving, hright-silvery. 

 Forc-iving : from base to middle a silvery streak between costa and 

 costal nervule ; three greenish-fuscous, on both sides silvery-edged, 

 transverse marks in discoidal cell, the third prolonged below cell to first 

 median nervule ; a similar marking at extremity of cell ; faint greenish- 

 black traces in bifurcations of silvery band, and three spots of the same 

 colour (the lowest much enlarged and centred with whitish) along 

 inner edge of band ; a submarginal series of seven fuscous, outwardly 

 dull-silvery-edged, lunulate spots, of which the two lowest are greatly 

 enlarged. Hind-wing : silvery discal band broad on costa (where it is 

 marked with a small ferruginous spot), and extending to inner margin 

 (where it is very narrow) ; along inner edge of band, from second sub- 

 costal nervule downward, an interrupted irregular greenish-fuscous 

 streak ; narrow silvery band before middle unmarked above discoidal 

 cell, but there containing a greenish-fuscous middle streak, and thence 

 (much narrower) deflected longitudinally to a point below first median 

 nervule beyond middle, where it is joined by a similar fuscous-marked 

 narrow stripe crossing discoidal cell near extremity ; the inner- 

 marginal area marked by three longitudinal similar stripes from near 

 base, uniting at their extremities, and the first and second of them 

 meeting end of discal band a little before anal angle ; a submarginal 

 row of fuscous lunules, dull-silvery-edged on both sides, preceded by a 

 similar more irregular series, only silvery- edged externally ; near anal 

 angle the two series approximate, and form two black-ringed ocellate 

 markings, irrorated with greenish and bluish, and centred with silvery ; 

 on costa, close to base, a narrow, oblique, silvery-ringed greenish-fus- 

 cous marking. 



$ Paler, espeeially the common discal hand, which is very pale 

 ochre-yelloiv inclining to cream-colour, edged narrowly with ferruginous. 

 Under side. — As in $, but the silvery of the submarginal markings 

 much enlarged. 



C. Druceanus is allied to both C. Etidoxus (Drury) and C. Cynthia, 

 Butler ; on the upper side more resembling the latter, and on the under 

 side the former. Its under side, on the whole, however, is closer to that 

 of C. Brutus (Cram.) It differs from Cynthia on the upper side (in fore- 

 wing) in the width, continuity, and inferior confluence with the discal 

 band of the two short costal fasciee ; in the discal band commencing 

 close to costal margin ; in the better marked and more separated hind- 

 marginal spots ; and in possessing a quadrate black spot in discoidal 

 cell not far from the extremity ; while (in hind-wing) the hind-marginal 

 border is narrower and more distinctly lunulate, and outwardly bounded 

 throughout by a well-marked black edging. From Eudoxus it differs 

 on the upper side in having the discal band not nearly so sharply 

 defined and not dentated on the nervures, especially as regards the
