SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
outer half of inner margin, anal angle, and of hind-margin to mid- 
way between first and second median nervules, an ill-defined tinge of 
lemon-yellow. Under side. — Hind-wing and narroio costcd edging 
and hind-marginal border of fore-wing joale shining greyish-yellow ; on 
hind-marginal edge an inter-nervular series of minute black spots. 
Fore-iuing : apical broad portion of hind-marginal border of upper side 
represented by a large subquadrate dark ferruginous-brown patch, 
more or less clouded with violaceous, reaching costal edge superiorly, 
but scarcely extending to apex itself, and so leaving hind-marginal 
border beyond it narrowly yellowish ; below patch some vague hoary- 
violaceous clouding marks hind-marginal border. Hind-iving : costal 
border broadly but faintly shot with a tint of hoary-violaceous ; hind- 
marginal border similarly but more narrowly and more faintly shot; 
between second subcostal and radial nervules, near hind-margin, a 
faint, diffused, ill-defined ferruginous-brown mark (sometimes obsolete) ; 
costa narrowly edged with orange-yellow for a little distance from 
base. 
^ Fore-iuing tvith orange-red basal suffusion ; hind-iving often pale 
creamy-yclloiv. Fore-iving : apical hind-marginal border reduced to 
blackish nervular rays forming elongate spots, broad externally but 
acuminate inwardly, at apex very prolonged and diffusedly confluent, 
but below that quite separate, the lowest on first median nervule ; 
inner edge of border faintly indicated near costa (and sometimes also 
on median nervules) by some indistinct fuscous scaling ; basal orange- 
red occupies discoidal cell except near extremity, and exteuds faintly 
and diffusedly below it ; in specimens with yellow hind-wings a faint 
yellowish edging along costa and hind-margin. Hind-iving : white or 
creamy-yellow — in the latter case the neuration is whitish ; a ner- 
vular hind-marginal series of six rather ill-defined blackish spots, of 
which the first and sixth are small, the second prolonged ray-fashion 
along second subcostal nervule, and the third (on radial nervule) very 
small, minute, or even obsolete. Under side. — Hind-wing and nar- 
row costal and hind- marginal border of fore-iving ehrome-yellow luith a 
tinge of ochreous ; hind-margin of hind-wing with two violaceous-whitish, 
pale ferruginous-clouded blotches. Fore-wing: basal orange-red deeper 
than on upper side, especially below cell, — its outer edge clearly de- 
fined ; apical blotch coloured like the two in hind-wing, and enlarged 
inferiorly so as to reach lower radial nervule ; usually a smaller 
similar but less defined blotch on hind-margin between third and 
second median nervules. Hind-iving : upper blotch the larger, be- 
tween first subcostal and radial nervules, bifid internally ; lower blotch 
prominent internally, rather hollowed outv/ardly, situated mainly 
between third and second median nervules, but a little overlapping 
both. 
South-African specimens of the $ differ from the West- African 
type-form in the less-developed black border of the fore-wings on the
