Fourteen examples, three only of which are females, from 

 Umtali (1), Christmas Pass (1), Mineni Valley (4), Lopodzi Eiver 

 (1), and A^unduzi Eiver (7). AH these specimens are more or less 

 worn, the best being from the last-named locality (5th to 12th 

 April). 



The females differ from the Delagoa Bay example described by 

 me {I.e. pp. 140-41) in wanting the minute additional transparent 

 spot iu the fore wings between the 5th subcostal and upper radial 

 nervules ; and the largest and freshest of them also is nearer to the 

 male in the fulvous-ochreous violaceous-glossed hind wings and 

 apex of fore wings on the underside. 



Mr. Selous notes this species as chiefly observed on flowers — 

 especially on the tall spikes of blue flowers above mentioned as 

 attracting so many Lyccenidce. One specimen was captured while 

 drinking at the water's edge.
