ENTOMOLOGY. 351 



lunules. Antennas black ; palpi fulvous, with the last joint black ; 

 body black, spotted with white and rose-colour; legs fulvous, tarsi 

 black ; abdomen, above black with thin yellowish edges to the seg- 

 ments, each of which has two fulvous spots, beneath fulvous with two 

 rows of black specks. 



Another specimen, which I cannot distinguish specifically from the 

 preceding, was also taken at the Victoria Falls in January 1875, and 

 has the upper surface of the wings rather brighter orange-red, with two 

 minute additional black dots within the discoidal cell, at about half 

 its length from the base, and with the abdomen orange-fulvous, the 

 three basal segments on the upper side being alone black, varied with 

 orange. The apical margin of the fore wings in this specimen is not 

 so rounded as in the other with the spotted abdomen, which is evidently 

 a female, the probability being that the male has the wings rather less 

 rounded and the abdomen not spotted.

This species is smaller than the preceding, with the various black 

 markings very small, the interspaces of the apical portion of the fore 

 wings not striolated with black, and the posterior spot of the fore wings 

 placed just between the preceding spot and the hind angle of the 

 wing. The upper surface of the wings is uniformly orange, with the 

 basal half rather redder, the base itself being suffused with black 

 scales ; within the discoidal cell is a small kidney-shaped black spot, 

 followed by a narrow oblique one at the extremity of the cell ; behind 

 this (between the 1st and 2d branches of the median vein) is another 

 spot, and between the latter and the posterior angle of the wing is a 

 third, the three forming nearly a straight row ; beyond the discoidal 

 cell is a short oblique row of small black dots, between which and the 

 apical margin of the wing the veins are black : the hind wings have 

 a small black dot within the discoidal cell, and a curved row of six 

 small black dots across the wing close to the extremity of the cell ; 

 the hind margin is very slenderly black, and the veins also have their 

 apical portions black. The wings beneath are of a uniform rosy 

 buff-colour, with the black spots more numerous and distinct than 

 above, the hind wings having about 18 small but distinct ones, those 

 at the base and near the anal margin not visible above ; the apical 

 margin of all the wings is very slenderly black, the hind wings having 

 no trace of the lunular markings of the preceding and following species. 

 Body black, sides of thorax with yellowish buff spots ; abdomen buff, 

 with the basal segments dusky above. 1 



1 In the engraving the apical margin of the fore wings is represented rather too much 

 rounded.
