SOUTH-AFEICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
marginal edge ; discoidal cell crossed by three almost equidistant mode- 
rately wide bars (of which the middle and outer ones are more or less 
slightly bisinuated), commencing close to costal edge, but not extending 
beyond median nervure ; in upper part of cell, close to its extremity, a 
small spot, immediately surmounted by a much smaller one above costal 
nervure ; a little beyond cell, two similarly placed but smaller spots, 
the lower of which immediately surmounts second spot of discal band ; 
spots of this incurved band, eight, all separate except the two lowest, 
which form a large irregular marking (between first median nervule 
and inner margin), emitting inwardly a narrow upward projection, ! 
almost meeting lower extremity of first disco-cellular base ; first three i 
spots of discal band moderate-sized, quadrate, — the first beyond the 
rest, — next three increasing in size downward, inwardly rounded, out- 
wardly truncate ; spots of submarginal series pretty even in size, but 
in form the first three are roughly rounded, while the rest are lunu- | 
late. Hind-iving : basal band directed obliquely, short, attenuated to I 
a point just below median nervure ; below it, along inner-marginal 
fold, a streak of white scales, sometimes prolonged to anal angle ; sub- 
basal band wider than in fore-wing, continuous, obliquely running from 
costa to between first and second median nervules, near anal angle, : 
where it abruptly and bluntly terminates, — its commencement white 
as far as subcostal nervure ; discal band commencing broadly on costa, 
narrowing and the spots becoming more distinctly separated and 
rounded downward, strongly angulated between second and third ! 
median nervules ; the first and second spots forming one large costal 
marking, which is white as iar as subcostal nervure ; the last spot \ 
smallest, lunulate, a little beyond extremity of sub-basal band ; at anal 
angle, below and a little before last-named spot, a small bright crimson- 
red spot ; six lunules of submarginal series irregular, sublinear — the 
first rather indistinct, — the fourth, fifth, and sixth immediately suc- 
ceeded externally by ill-defined whitish-grey scaling, broadly lunulate 
in form ; cilia white between third median nervule and anal angle, 
except about extremities of nervules and along superior edge of tail; 
tail rather broad, long, nearly straight, black, rather widely tipped with 
white. Under side. — Much paler, glistening, clull-h^own ; main pat- 
tern similar, hut markings generally rather ivider ; discal hand and 
sichmarginal macular series greenish-white; space hetween these mostly 
hoary-grey ; in hind-iuing, narrotv hroion space hetween suh-hasal hand 
(also grecnish-ivhite) and discal hand outwardly hordered througliout, 
from costa to anal angle, hy a sublinear series of eight dull crimson-red 
marks internally ivhite-edged and externally fuscous-edged. Fore-wing : 
space between discal band and submarginal macular series brown 
from costa to fifth subcostal nervure, and blackish-brown from second 
median nervule to inner margin ; submarginal series inwardly thinly 
brown-edged and enclosed by hoary-grey, which narrowly extends tO! 
apex. Hind-wing : basal band wider, white, and narrowly extending
