the upperside smaller and much more widely apart from the spot 

 immediately above it than in Hopffer's figure of the male from 

 Querimbe; both the males haA-e the white median bar on the 

 upperside of the hind wings considerably narrower, but this marking 

 is in the females about as wide as Hopffer figures it in the male. 

 On the underside the dark anal angular and lower discal patch is 

 larger in both sexes, extending to hind-marginal edge except just 

 about extremity of submedian nerviu'e. 



Two females from Delagoa Bay, collected by the Rev. H. Junod 

 in 1891, present this last-named character, and agree in other 

 respects with the single example from the same locahty noted by 

 me loc. cit. p. 333 \ 



Mr. Selous notes this Butterfly as very rapid in flight, but 

 frequently settling in bushes in shady spots.

Eight specimens, two of which are females, from the Mineni 

 Valley (5th to 16th March) agree with the Transvaal male noted 

 by me, I. c. p. 355, in their larger size and darker underside colouring, 

 only the females having the rufous tolerably developed.

Four males and a female from the Mineni Valley (7th to 12th 

 March), and a male from Vunduzi Eiver (12th April). 



When I described this species in S.-Afr. Butt. iii. p. 357, I 

 had noted females only of the typical pattern, and associated with 

 them males taken in the same locality which differed chiefly in 

 the much smaller vitreous spots of the fore wings, the -w^ant of the 

 discocellular vitreous spot in the hind wings, and the possession 

 of a more or less well-defined darker fascia in the fore wings. I 

 have since obtained both sexes of both forms, and can rectify 



' Specimens from the Ogove Valley, Equatorial West Africa, are considerably- 

 smaller ; the spots on the upperside of the fore wings are reduced in size — the 

 lowest spot especially being very small and sublinear ; the median bar on the 

 upperside of the hind wings is, on the contrary, much broader in its upper 

 portion ; while on the underside of the hind wings the dark lower-discal patch 

 is more reduced than in the figure of the Querimbe type and stops short at some 

 little distance before the hind margin. 



^ The Butterfly from Bismarckburg, Togoland, figured by Earsch (Berl. 

 ent. Zeitsehr. xxxviii. pi. vi. fig. 11, 1893) as doubtfully the male of P. motozi, 

 appears to be quite distinct, being very much smaller, with diiferently-shaped 

 transparent spots (and 5 or 6 minute additional ones) in the fore wings, and 

 having the imderside of the hind wings brown with fuscous markings and 

 without any of the characteristic yellow colouring.
