1894. J MANIOA, SOUTH-EAST AFRICA. 47 



Mineui Biver, and a female from Vunduzi liiver — resemble those 

 brought from Natal, but are smaller than usual. 



This species was found settling on leaves in shady places ; it 

 flew with moderate speed and was easily caught. These four 

 specimens were the only ones observed; they were taken on 15th 

 February, 8th March, and 5th April.

3 . Very like L. parsimon (Fabr.), c? , on upperside. Dull 

 brownish-grey ; a fuscous hind-marginal edging line ; cilia brownish- 

 grey basally, ivhitish externally ; pattern of underside indistinctly 

 shown, the most apparent marking being the darker terminal disco- 

 cellular striola in both wings. Hind wing : close to hind margin 

 the usual fuscous spot, between 1st and 2nd median nervules, 

 rather small and ill-defined, externally whitish-edged ; below 1st 

 median neiwule the trace of a second similar spot ; no tail. 

 Underside. — Dull creamy -ivhitish, with conspicuous black spots 

 faintly white-edged. Fore wing : discocellular terminal striola 

 thick and black ; discal series of six spots — the upper three 

 forming a regular continuous transverse streak between 4th 

 subcostal and 3rd median nervules, but the other three all separate 

 and before the upper three, the 5th spot (between 2nd and 1st 

 median nervules) being nearer to base than the 4th and 6th spots ; 

 a submarginal ochreous-brown streak, widening downward, parallel 

 to and not very far before hind-marginal edge, which is bounded 

 by a black fine. Mind wing : a subbasal series of three rounded 

 spots, the middle one in discoidal cell ; terminal cellular striola 

 thick, black, curved ; discal series of eight spots (all separate) 

 strongly bisinuated — the 1st and 8th spots before, the 2nd and 

 5th about, and the remainder beyond middle ; the 7th spot strongly 

 crescentic ; a black hind-marginal edging line as in fore wing, and 

 a faint indication of a submarginal ochreous-brown line, which 

 below second median nervule widens into two very diffuse ochre- 

 yellow lunulate marks; immediately beyond the latter are a rounded 

 superior and elongate inferior black spot, the upper profusely, the
