SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
of fort-wing^ and in hind-vjing from hefore middle^ pale ferrioginous' 
reddish ; hind-margins edged throughout by a fine hne of black. Fore- 
wing : intersecting streak of apical patch more macular and conspicuous 
than on upper side, but sometimes brownish superiorly ; immediately 
preceding it a short hroad ha.r of polt vermilion-red with a tinge of 
pink ; parallel to hind-margin a reddish-brown streak (sometimes 
indistinct on radial nervules) extending from costa to first median 
nervule, where it becomes broader and blackish, and ends in a blackish 
space, externally marked by two small yellowish spots immediately 
above posterior angle ; hase with a hroad suffusion of orange-yellow, 
filling basal half of cell and extending to costal nervure, but not (or 
very faintly) below median nervure ; a minute terminal disco-cellular 
blackish dot, Hind-iuing : nervures faintly clouded with blackish for 
a little distance from base ; a conspicuous but rather diffused slightly 
sinuated blackish streak running obliquely from costa considerably 
before middle to between first median nervule and submedian nervure 
rather beyond middle ; another highly irregular, often fainter or browner 
streak, from costa scarcely beyond middle to third median nervule far 
beyond middle, — there sharply broken, but resumed indistinctly nearer 
origin of same nervule, 8.nd prolonged obliquely to inner margin just 
before anal angle ; a submarginal brown streak as in fore-wing, but 
much broader, and so radiating outwardly on the reddish nervules as 
to shut off" five large internally-rounded hind-marginal spots of the 
ground-colour ; a wide edging along costa from base to middle, a mark 
between costal and subcostal nervures, a short longitudinal 'disco-cellu- 
lar streak (with a small ill-defined terminal spot), a long streak from 
base to anal angle above submedian nervure, and a short (sometimes 
indistinct) one below it, — all bright orange-yellow. 
^ Apical p^atch infcriorly hroader than in $, blach, ivith only the 
very faintest trace of purple-lake on upper part of its inner side^ hct 
traversed centrally hy a curved row of five yelloiuish-white spots (of which 
tlid two lower are in one example very smcdl and indistinct). Fore-wing : 
basal irroration wider than in ^ ; a distinct terminal disco-cellular dot ; 
hind-marginal series of inter-nervular acuminate pale sulphur-yellow 
spots larger. Hind-wing : hind-marginal border broader. Under side. 
— -Quite as in but slightly paler. 
In the ^ the apical portion of the fore-wings is much produced, 
and the hind-margin thus slightly convex from the apex as far as third 
median nervule, but thence slightly hollowed as far as first median 
nervule ; and the anal-angular portion of the hind-wings is also, but 
less markedly, produced. In the $ these peculiarities of outline are not | 
nearly so pronounced. 
Lucas's description of the Abyssinian type agrees too closely with j 
Hewitson's Amina, from the Zambesi, to admit of the recognition of the 
latter as a distinct species. Wallengren's Pholoe ( Wieii. Ent. Monatschr., 
i860, p. 35), from Lake Ngami — with which my Phcenon {Trans.^
