This very distinct and handsome species was discovered by Burchell in 
1812, towards the northern limit of his South- Af rican journeyiDgs. Through 
Professor Westwood's kindness I was able to examine the original specimens, 
and to refer to Burchell's manuscript list of localities of the species in his col- 
lection. It appeared from the latter that three of the four examples were 
captured at " Chue Spring," and the fourth at " Little Klip." Burchell gives 
the latitude and longitude of the first of these localities, and I am thus able 
to determine its position on recent maps as about Honing Vley, in British 
Bechuanaland. Specimens from Motito, in the same tract of country, were 
sent to me in 1866. 
The range of Siibfasciahis lies between 20° and 30° S. lat., and it is known 
to occur from Damaraland on the Western Coast as far east as the Tati Eiver 
in Matabeleland. Colonel Bowker took a good many specimens on the Yaal 
Eiver, Griqualand West, and also sent a single example captured at Hope Town, 
on the left bank of the Orange Eiver. The latter is its most southern locality 
known to me ; and it certainly appears to be most numerous in the tropical 
portion of its range, Mr. J. A. Bell having brought no fewer than thirty-four 
specimens in his small collection formed in Damaraland. Colonel Bowker 
describes the butterfly as a swift flyer ; he found it on the wing at Klipdrift 
(Barkly) in March and April, and took the Hope Town individual on ist May 
187 1. Mr. H. L. L. Feltham informs me that he occasionally sees specimens 
in Kimberley, and took some in the month of December of the years 1884 and 
1885. Wallengren records ^ Mr. Person's note that in Southern Transvaal the 
butterfly occurs in March and April.
