borders, a transverse patch over the discocellulars, and a macular 
subapical bar, sometimes confluent with the external border, black : 
secondaries with a black external border, its inner edge slightly 
irregular, two metallic-blue submarginal spots, between which at 
extremity of first median branch the usual tail, black tipped with 
white, is emitted; fringes spotted with white: body black, margins 
of eyes and a transverse line on the vertex white; antenne ringed 
with white. Under surface pure white, with black markings nearly 
as in H. juba, but more sharply defined, the central irregular band 
across the secondaries only represented by a black Y-shaped costal 
patch, with the V portion filled in; the marginal border barely 
indicated, excepting towards anal angle, where the black spots 
touched with blue and green metallic scales are well-defined, as 
well as an irregular zigzag line at the back of them. Expanse of 
wings 33 millim.

Two examples of this very fine species were obtained; one of 
which, however, was much shattered.

“ Orange and black-barred Blue” (#. C.). 
In his ‘South ’African Buttertlies,’ vol. 1. p. 150, Mr. Trimen 
follows Hewitson in regarding this as S. natalensis of West- 
wood—on the ground, principally, “of the large size of the 
orange anal-angular marking in the hind wing.” We, however, 
possess what is clearly the original of the figure in the ‘ Genera,’ 
a worn female with unusually large anal patch ; it was obtained in 
1846, labelled “ Thecla natalii, Pt. Nat.,” and agrees in all details 
of marking with the original figure. With regard to “the small 
development of the hind marginal lunulate whitish streak,” also 
referred to by Trimen, the figure and specimen are both faulty, 
the latter being badly rubbed on one hind wing, and the same part 
broken away on the other; the imagination of Hewitson was not 
lively enough to enable him to supply this deficiency in the 
whitish streak.
