SOUTH-AFEICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
but faintly indicated ; orange anal-angular spot wanting, or represented 
by a few scales ; in discoidal cell an indistinct bifurcate black streak. 
Head black, with two well-marked frontal pale sulphur-yellow 
spots, two (less distinct) at bases of antennae, and two posterior to 
these ; inferior part of ring round eyes and palpi pale sulphur-yellow, 
the latter with a black ring. Thorax brownish-black above, with three 
pairs of very indistinct yellowish spots on prothorax and an almost 
imperceptible yellow streak on pterygodes ; beneath chocolate-brown ; 
legs black, the femora yellowish-white beneath. Abdomen brownish 
black above, pale-brown laterally, chocolate-brown beneath. 
$ Duller; ground-colour not so dark, 7narkings yelloioer, hroader ; 
in fore-wing a suhnarginal series of five additional yelloio spots, and in 
hind-wing an inner row of yellow spots running parallel to the suh- 
marginal series. Fore-wing : uppermost of the five additional rounded 
spots (which prolong the short apical series of three to just above sub- 
median nervure) almost always confluent with third spot of transverse 
stripe. Hind-wing: inner row of spots not far before submarginal 
row, similarly arranged, but the spots in every pair usually confluent, 
— the last of the series forming a rather conspicuous orange anal- 
angular lunulate spot ; hind-marginal lunule beyond this sometimes 
tinged with orange. Under side. — Like that of but in fore-wing 
five additional spots well defined, and in hind-wing some of the inner 
row of spots tolerably distinct, including the orange lunulate spot. 
In size and general appearance F. Eupliranor is not unlike F. Con- 
stantinus, Ward, but may at once be distinguished by its differently- 
formed, wider, and yellower discal stripe ; unspotted tails ; chocolate- 
brown under side without black inter-nervular rays ; brown under 
surface of body ; and antennas not tipped with yellow. Its true alliance, 
however, is not with Constantinus or the Thersander group, but with 
the large and singular West- African F. Hesperus, Westw., and P. 
horrihilis, Butl., as will readily be recognised on comparing the colour- 
ing and pattern of the under side, the neuration and outline of the 
wings, and the form and colouring of the body, notwithstanding the 
much smaller size of Enphranor and its very different upper side 
pattern. 
This fine Papilio, which appears to be peculiar to Southern Africa, was dis- 
covered by Colonel Bowker at the end of the year 1865, near the River Tsoino, 
a tributary of the Kei, in Kaffraria Proper. It was found numerously at the 
Boolo Forest about the end of November and again in February ; its flight being 
described as "like that of F. opUidicephalus, but higher, and often extended 
from the forest to the open."^ A living specimen of the pupa was forwarded 
to me, but the perfect insect emerged on the journey, so that only the pupal 
1 I am almost sure that it was this butterfly — if not, it was some very near ally — of 
which I saw several examples in a forest at Tunjumbili, on the Tugela frontier of Natal, 
early in March 1867. Their flight was limited to a small open space, across which they 
constantly passed at a considerable height, often settling on the lofty trees on either side.
