The yellow markings below vary considerably in definition in 

 this species ; the size of the transparent spots also varies, though 

 they are never of the same shape as in S. motozi, that within the 

 end of the discoidal cell being either L-shaped or broken up into 

 two small spots ; the transparent spot in the cell of the secondaries 

 is sometimes wanting, but frequently replaced by a smaller semi- 

 transparent spot placed much nearer to the base than in S. motozi. 

 The general tint of the upper surface is more greenish ashy than 

 that of 8. motozi. There are two undoubted males amoug the five 

 examples sent home by Mr. Crawshay ; they agree with the females 

 in pattern and colouring. The first example ( $ ) was " taken 

 sitting on a tree-trunk in the, settiug, sun." Of the others 

 Mr. Crawshay writes : — " This ' Skipper ' frequents the shade of 

 the forest, and perches with outspread wings on the bare ground." 

 The female lays " emerald-green spherical ova."

3 . A prominent costal fold from base to end of discoidal cell of 

 primaries; general tint sericeous golden brown, slightly ashy 

 towards anal angle of secondaries : black-edged transparent spots 

 on primaries (right wing) arranged almost in the form of the 

 Greek letter y, but the costal terminations of the furca turned 

 towards each other ; of these spots six are subapical, small, the 

 second displaced and above the third, the fifth represented by a 

 black spot without transparent centre : the spots of the inner 

 ramus consist of a small one above cell towards extremity of costal 

 fold ; a large one within the cell, below the preceding ; a small 

 spot within posterior angle of cell ; the remaining spots, four in 

 number, cross the disk obliquely parallel to outer margin, the second 

 only being large and irregularly quadrangular ; two dusky spots at 

 basal third of interno-median area: secondaries with a double- 

 lined dusky marking at end of cell surrounded by an arched series 

 of dusky spots between the nervures : body more golden than 

 wings ; the palpi, head, and collar above transversely barred with 

 black; antennae black above, pale buff below. Under surface 

 ochreous ; the primaries clouded with brownish on external area ; 

 transparent spots as above, but without black margins : secondaries 

 with two dusky apical spots on margin ; fringe dusky with paler 

 tips ; a discal arched series of small blackish spots, the second 

 largest. Expanse of wings 38 millimetres.
