almost to tlie last crimson mark (at anal angle) ; between costal 
nervure and second subcostal nervule, discal band (which is enlarged, 
almost continuous, and greenish-white) succeeded by two conspicuous 
brownish-black spots ; submarginal lunular series very indistinct, but 
with brown edging internally ; the space beyond the fourth, fifth, and 
sixth lunules black, with hoary-grey as on upper side. Ahdomen : 
black above, white beneath ; a narrow lateral longitudinal black stripe 
separated from dorsal black by a yellowish one. $ Like $, hut duller 
and paler. Hind-wing : hasal stripe much enlarged, forming a mode- 
ately wide border along inner onctrgin to not far from crimson-red mark^ 
luhich is larger and lunulate. 
The South-African specimens above described are throughout paler 
than the West- African type-form, the ground being less dark and the 
markings less green ; and they present larger spots in the submarginal 
row of the fore-wings. On the under side, also, the crimson markings 
of the hind-wings are narrower and less continuous, and the dark 
markings of both fore and hind wings are less developed. A ^ from 
the Zambesi (taken by the Eev. H. Waller), though nearer to the 
West-African form in nearly all respects, has the submarginal spots of 
the fore-wings rather larger ; but all the other green markings of the 
upper side are remarkably reduced, especially the cellular bars and 
discal spots 1—6 of the fore-wings. 
? Laeva. — Back ferruginous-red, transversely striped with black. 
Head sandy-yellow. On each segment, except second, third, and 
fourth (thoracic), a median transverse streak of greyish-blue, black- 
edged both anteriorly and posteriorly; on thoracic segments no blue 
streak, but the transverse black edging streaks strongly marked ; second 
segment bright yellow; on each thoracic segment, situate dorso- 
laterally, a pair of forward- and outward-pointing short acute black 
spines. Lower part of sides (separated from dorsal ferruginous by a 
lateral black stripe) pale-bluish, fading into whitish on the under 
surface. On anal segment a pair of short, acute, backward- and out- 
ward-pointing spines, superiorly yellow at base and mesially bluish, 
but at tip and inferiorly black. 
I received in 1878 four living larvae, collected near D'Urban by 
Colonel Bowker, and w\as led to think that they probably were those of 
Folicenes because one of them became an imperfect pupa, agreeing in 
the main with some from wdiich I reared this species, and also because 
they closely resembled a pencil-drawing by Mr. W. D. Gooch of a 
larva taken in the same locality, and referred by him doubtfully to 
Policenes. One of the four examples sent by Colonel Bowker was 
much smaller than the others, and evidently in a much earlier moult, 
t>ut it differed in no particular except in the proportionally larger 
thoracic spines. 
Food-plant : Artabotrys, n. sp., one of the Anonacea^, native of 
D'Urban, Natal, and of Delagoa Bay. (Determined for Colonel Bowker,
