new species of Butterflies from South Africa. 193 
ianermarginal semicircular glistening sexual patch, extending to 
median nervure. Hindwing : a short oblique sub-basal streak from 
costal to median nervure ; a small sub-basal red spot close to inner 
margin ; completely across wing, a streak from middle of costa to 
1st median nervule considerably beyond middle, where it is slightly 
angulated and attenuated — thence to a point between that nervule 
and submedian nervure where it becomes black instead of red — and 
thence, widening and red again, at an acute angle as far as internal 
nervure about middle ; six submarginal black spots (the 2nd larger 
than rest) from costa to 3rd median nervule — the series continued 
to inner margin by two disconnected short black lines, of which the 
superior is close to the sharp black angulation of the long discal red 
streak ; inferior hindmarginal black spot wanting, but superior one 
and spot on anal angular lobe, well developed, and widely bordered 
with greenish-silvery ; hindmargin edged with orange-red from 
2nd subcostal to 3rd median nervule, but thence to anal angle with 
a fine black line. Forehead orange-red ; abdomen beneath white, 
with a median longitudinal red streak. 
I have not seen the ? , but, from a description accom- 
panied by a careful coloured drawing of both upper and 
under sides made by Mr. A. E. Hunt, it is clear that in 
that sex on the upperside the blue is duller and basally 
clouded with fuscous, while the hindmarginal black is 
considerably broader at the posterior angle of the fore- 
wing, as is also the costal, apical, and upper hindmarginal 
black of the hindwing. The hindwing presents a small 
black hindmarginal spot between 2nd and 3rd median 
nervules (of which there is only the minutest trace in 
the (?) and also three small blackish lunulate marks 
situate a little before the three hindmarginal spots. 
Above the latter, between 3rd median and 2nd subcostal 
nervules, are two whitish spots. The underside markings 
agree with those of the $ , except that in the hindwing 
there is some dusky-grey clouding along the hindmargin 
below the 3rd median nervule, and the upperside spot 
between 2nd and 3rd median nervules is indistinctly 
represented. 
The 6 on the upperside closely resembles the ^ I. 
aphnseoides, but the apical black area in the forewing is 
even broader, and the sexual patch in the hindwing 
rounder and better defined. The ? evidently wants 
almost entirely the wide discal white shown on the 
upperside of both wings in the 9 aphnaeoides, and has 
the black of the forewings much broader superiorly, and
