SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
(5 species : Pigea, Boisd., Alha, Wallengr., Simana, Hopff., Charinay 
Boisd., Spilleri, Stand.) 
Group 3. — Calypso, Drniy, representative. 
Sexes very dissimilar. $ white, with moderately broad white-spotted 
black borders, better developed in fore-wings, which have also a con- 
spicuous terminal disco-cellular black spot or oblique bar; under side 
with hind-wings and apex of fore-wings of some tint of yellow, with 
similar blackish markings, but usually with black neuration and discal 
spots. $ more or less tinged with yellow, especially in hind- wings 
(which are sometimes deep ochre-yellow), and with all black markings 
much enlarged. 
In one species (Mesentina, Cram.) the apex of fore-wings is rather 
produced and pointed, and in two others (Gidica, Boisd., and Ahyssinica, 
Lucas) it is strongly so characterised. 
(7 species : Thysa, Hopff., Ogygia, Trim., Zoclialia, Boisd., Mesentina, 
Cram., Gidica, Godt., Ahyssinica^ Lucas, Severina, Cram.) 
Group 4. — Daplidice, Linn., representative. 
Sexes much alike. White, with black markings much as in last 
section, but in $ stronger, and including an additional inferior discal 
spot in fore-wings. Under side with hind-wings and apex of fore-wings 
varied with white and dull-greenish and yellow-tinged markings. 
In Daijlidice and Hellica, Linn., the third subcostal nervule of fore- 
wings is wanting. 
( I species : Hellica, Linn.) 
The caterpillars of this genus appear for the most part to be 
attached to Cruciferce and Capparidem ; those of the European P. 
Brassicce, Eapm, &c., and of the allied North- American P. oleracea, are 
notorious for their injuries to cultivated cabbages, turnips, and related 
plants.
