332 SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 



ochreous spots. Fore-wing : ferruginous extends costally to beyond 

 middle, occupying discoidal cell, and inner-marginally as far as inner 

 edge of discal band ; a fuscous mark at extremity of cell, — another 

 (smaller) in cell towards extremity, — and a third, very indistinct and 

 small, in cell not far from base ; discal band broad, its inner edge 

 indented on nervules, — very deeply so on second radial, its outer edge 

 regularly serrated by deep nervular indentations ; outer portion of band 

 traversed by a series of six contiguous sub-lunulate black spots from 

 close to costa as far as first median nervule, — a seventh separate minute 

 spot below the nervule ; spots on hind-margin eight, very distinct, well 

 separated, the lowest geminate. Hiiid-iving : discal band narrowing 

 on median nervules and becoming obsolete on the first ; hind-marginal 

 spots seven, a little before hind-margin itself (which is black-edged), 

 lunulate (especially the three lowest, which are more or less suffused 

 with white), the last tinged with greenish ; inner-marginal area grey, 

 with a whitish mark just before anal angle, indicating end of discal 

 band ; between third median nervule and submedian nervure a sub- 

 marginal row of three small bluish spots, the lowest lunulate ; tails 

 short, narrow, black, that on third median nervule a good deal shorter 

 than the other, and straight, the other slightly curved upward ; cilia 

 white. Under side. — Basal area dark-ferruginous, closely marked with 

 shining-grey, fuscous-edged, white-hordered spots and strice ; discal hand 

 ivhite, shining; outer area shining 'pale-grey. Fore-wing: a shining 

 white streak from base between costa and costal nervure ; in discoidal 

 cell a small basal, a larger oval, and an elongate outer marking, the 

 latter irregularly prolonged below cell as far as first median nervule ; 

 at extremity of cell a similar but shorter marking ; bounding inner 

 edge of band a very irregular macular stria of the same colours, ending 

 in a basal inner-marginal grey space above submedian nervure ; series 

 of fuscous spots traversing band conspicuous against the white, the 

 serrated outer portion of the band beyond them of a paler brighter 

 yellow than on upper side, and more macular, and immediately followed 

 by a series of fuscous spots, all faint and very, small except the lowest, 

 which is large and geminate ; hind-marginal spots much less distinct 

 and of a paler brighter yellow than on upper side. Hind-wing : a 

 curved elongate oblique mark on costa at base, and just beyond it a 

 very strongly recurved mark, interrupted on costal, but extending to 

 subcostal nervure ; white discal band inwardly bounded by a long sub- 

 macular stria, interrupted, and emitting a short separate outward-curv- 

 ing thin spot just below first median nervule on the white ; in discoidal 

 cell commence two long striae, which thence run longitudinally above 

 submedian nervure, and of which the inferior joins two similar stria9 

 from near base along inner margin at their extremities, at the end of 

 streak bounding white discal band ; the band itself extends quite to 

 inner-marginal edge, and is there widened ; it is marked with a fuscous 

 lunule externally just below radial nervule, and outwardly bounded by
