neio species of Butterflies from South Africa. 185 
wide, yellovy spotted, hlach border along hindmarg'm. Forewing : 
brick-red suffusion fading into the ochreous-yellow at about, or 
rather beyond, middle ; a spot in discoidal cell, just above origin 
of 1st median nervule, and another at extremity of cell ; between 
the latter and posterior angle two smaller spots obliquely placed, 
of which the lower is obsolescent in one of three examples, and 
wanting in another ; in one example, a spot below median nervure, 
a little before origin of 1st median nervule ; base narrowly black ; 
apical black 5 lines broad on costa, and extending downward as 
far as 2nd median nervule (just above which it encloses, in two 
examples, a spot of the ground-colour) ; thence runs a linear hind- 
marginal black edging to posterior angle, emitting inwardly short 
nervular and internervular rays ; costa with a linear black edging. 
Hindwing : a sub-basal curved series of five spots (of which the 
2nd in discoidal cell is furthest from base and remote from the 
subcostal first spot) ; space between this series and base, except the 
subcostal and median nervures, dusky-blackish, set with yellowish- 
white hairs ; an unbroken discal series of nine spots, angulated at 
3rd median nervule, and thence bisinuated to inner margin rather 
before middle ; of these spots (which are irregularly subcordate or 
sublunulate in form), the 1st, 6th, and 9th are nearer to base than 
the rest, the two former being also, with the 7th, the largest ; hind- 
marginal border of even width throughout, except where it narrows 
to anal angle, emitting inwardly short black nervular rays, and 
enclosing seven rather small ochreous-yellow spots, of which the 
upper three are more or less obsolescent ; brick-red suffusion from 
basal area outward, variable in extent, in one example not strong 
beyond discal spots, in another strong, and, in the third, reaching 
to hindmarginal border ; in this last example only there is some 
fuscous clouding outwardly, bounding spots 6 to 8 of discal series. 
Cilia fuscous, mixed with whitish towards anal angle of hindwing. 
Undekside : Hindioing, and 7iarrow costal horder and wide apical 
area of forewing, very pale creamy-yellowish, with fine hlach neura- 
tion and wide ochraceous inter-nervular stripes towards the borders ; 
spots as on upperside ; hindiving vnth a basal blotch and median 
fascia of rose-pinh. Forewing : field as on upperside, but paler ; a 
black spot on costa at base. Hindwing : a black spot on costa 
close to base ; rose-pink basal blotch partly on costal curve, and 
partly between median and submedian nervures ; sub-basal and 
discal series of spots as on upperside, but the space between them 
occupied by a fascia of rose-pink, interrupted by pale yellowish 
lines along the nervules ; spots in hindmarginal border greatly 
enlarged, broadly lunate, white, tinged with yellowish, the black of 
the border reduced to a linear edging encircling each spot.
