This is the most southern example of L. Jiirundo that I have 

 heard of ; our two examples are both from Natal.

The male is somewhat sliattered, but differs remarkably from 

 Arabian examples, all the markings below being bright mahogany- 

 red with blackish margins and whitish borders ; the internal area 

 of primaries buff.

The single example obtained differs so much from Hewitson's 

 type in the pattern of the upper surface, that, if we had not 

 possessed an intermediate specimen from West xifrica, I should 

 have conchided that this Eastern variety must be distinct : the 

 secondaries would be best described as bright orange tawny, the 

 base, abdominal border, and a submediau streak smoky greyish 

 brown ; the usual bright blue subcostal sexual spot ; outer border 

 narrowly dark brown, slightly widest at apex : the orange patch 

 on the primaries is also much larger than in typical V. lorisona. 

 This is the first example which I have seen from East Africa.

A single pair of this rare species was obtained ; it is new to 

 the general Collection. The female above is smokj^ greyish-brown, 

 the primaries with a diffused ashy patch between the cell and the 

 submediau vein ; the secondaries with a similar patch on the 

 median and lower radial interspaces ; the anal lobe is externally 

 golden oi'ange, the usual internal black spot being sprinkled with 

 silvery blue scales : otheru ise, excepting in its rounder wings, 

 it much resembles females of V. livia.
