Butterflies from British Kaffraria. 399 



JnthochariSf very closely allied to A. Delphine, Boisd., a Terms, 

 which seems nearly related to T. Drona, Horsf., &c. In these 

 doubtful cases, 1 think it right not to found new species on soli- 

 tary specimens, but to await the result of further explorations. 



SATYRID^, Sws. 



Genus Satyrus, Doubleday. 



Satyrus dendrophilus. 



Expands 2 in. 8 lin. 



Dull-brown. Fore-wing: a fulvous-ochreous tinge over basal 

 half and to near anal angle ; beyond middle, an irregularly-sinuate 

 transverse row of 7 spots, ill-defined externally, from costa to 

 sub-median neivure; the spot on costal edge whitish, the others 

 ochreous, elongated longitudinally, the largest between 2nd and 

 3rd median nervules ; beyond these, a sub-marginal row of 5 small, 

 whitish spots indistinctly ringed with blackish, from 4th sub-costal 

 to 2nd median nervule ; a pale-brown hind-marginal border, di- 

 vided by a dark-brown line. Hind-wing : fulvous-ochreous ; 

 hind-marginal border as in fore-wing, but wider, with another dark 

 line separating it from the ground-colour j a sub-marginal row of 

 7 white-pupilled, rounded, black spots, the last of which, above 

 sub-median nervure close to anal angle, is bipupillate ; inner- 

 marginal region pale-brownish. Underside. — Paler, with a slight 

 violaceous lustre. Fore-wing : markings similar, fainter ; a dark, 

 waved streak crossing discoidal cell, which has likewise a faint- 

 ochreous and 2 faint-whitish transverse markings ; row of whitish 

 spots as above, but the second distinctly ringed with black and 

 yellow ; apex suffused with faint-brownish. Hind-wing : same 

 colour as apex of fore-wing, with a strong violaceous gloss ; 4 ir- 

 regular, interrupted, brown striae crossing basal half ; row of ocelli 

 as above, but in pale-yellow rings ; 2 dentate striae bordering 

 hind-margin, which is paler than rest of wing : a space from dis- 

 coidal nervule to sub-median nervure near anal angle irrorated with 

 fuscous scales. 



The fore-wings in this fine Satyrus are not produced at the apex, 

 which is rounded ; the hind-margin is slightly crenelated ; and none 

 of the nervures present any swelling at the base. The hind- 

 wings are large and broad ; the hind-margins moderately dentate, 

 — the dentation on 1st median nervule being very slightly more 

 prominent than the rest ; and the inner-margins rather strongly 

 convex, forming a shallow and incomplete groove.
