This is quite new to the African fauna. Eecently Mr. Trimen 

 showed me specimens of a nearly allied species (or perhaps a 

 variety of P. zehra), differing in the absence of the subbasal 

 whitish bar on the under surface of the secondaries; these Natal 

 examples, however, cannot be distinguished from those of North- 

 western India, excepting in their slightly blaclier ground-colour 

 (which, by the way, is probably due to the superior freshness of 

 the specimens). 



Mr. Marshall suggests the possibility of this butterfly being 

 P. sataspes, but the latter is a very distinct species.
