SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
far as third or second median nervule ; a hind-marginal series of 
minute ferruginous spots at extremities of nervules, — sometimes barely 
perceptible or wanting altogether. Hind-wing : a similar hind-mar- 
ginal series of minute spots, — ofteu, however, wanting. Under side. — 
Hind-wing, and wide costal and very wide ajpical area of fore-wing, glossy 
pale greyish-yellow or greyish-green, more or less indistinctly freckled and 
hatched with hrownish or reddish-grey ; cilia usually pale-reddish, except 
near posterior angle of fore- wing ; minute ferruginous hind-marginal 
spots better marked ; rarely altogether wanting. Fore-wing : costa at 
base with a thin pinkish-red edging ; terminal disco-cellular spot 
larger, rounder, dull-red, with a large, paler, shining centre ; between 
costa and second median nervule, not far from hind-margin, usually 
the more or less indistinct traces of a transverse series of five diffused 
reddish-grey spots, elbowed or angulated obliquely inwardly on upper 
radial nervule. Hind-iuing : a terminal disco-cellular red spot, smaUer 
than that in fore-wing, more circular, but with its pale centre usually 
whiter; in some specimens traces of a discal series of six or seven 
reddish-grey spots ; at basal origin of nervures a small pinkish-red 
stain. 
$ Like the $ ; hut fore-iving with costa throughout iisnally hordered 
with hrownish above costal ncrvure, and ivith apical and, hind-marginal 
hrownish edging rather more pronounced. Under side. — Like the less 
distinctly marked s, all the markings (including the terminal disco- 
cellular spots) more or less faint, and the discal spots very small 
or obsolete in both wings. 
Second form of % {Florella, Fab., = ^Aa(^m,Boisd.). — Sulphur-yellow; 
hind-marginal ferruginous spots enlarged. Fore-wing : pale-brownish 
costal border tinged at base with pinkish-red, and becoming wider 
and ferruginous apically ; six well-marked (though inwardly rather 
diffused), good-sized hind-marginal ferruginous spots, the lowest on 
first median nervule, — and a seventh minute spot on submedian 
nervure ; terminal disco-cellular spot enlarged, black, rounded, con- 
spicuous ; more or less indistinct traces of the subapical elbowed 
transverse row of reddish spots which both sexes present on the under 
side. Hind-wing : costa and inner margin rather broadly bordered with 
somewhat iridescent pinkish-white ; hind-marginal nervular ferruginous 
spots always much smaller than those of fore-wing, very variable in 
size, shape, and distinctness, nearly always a good deal diffused in- 
wardly. Under side. — Hind-wing, and all fore-wing except yellowish 
or yclloiuish-white inner-marginal and sidj-central area, rich ochreous- 
yellow inclining to orange, rather sjparsely freckled and hatched with 
ferruginous. Fore-wing : terminal disco-cellular spot usually larger 
than in ^, — rather frequently with a second similar but usually 
smaller spot attached to it superiorly ; elbowed submarginal series 
of spots dull-reddish, rather blurred and indistinct, — the spots below 
the elbow often united into a streak. Hind-wing : terminal disco-
