being interiorly clouded with blackish. It most nearly resem- 
bles the variation figured in the second plate accompanying 
my paper in the Linnean Society^s Transactions (vol. xxvi. 
tab. 43, f. 2), and, like that example, wants the apical spot of 
the fore-wings ; but (as far as I can make out in its very 
damaged state) it has more resemblance to Hippocoon in the 
wider white space of the hind- wings. — Hah. King William's 
Town, Cape Colony. 
e. Two specimens near the simple variation of ordinary 9 > but having 
all the white spots of the fore-wing considerably enlarged, as well 
as the ochreous-yellow mark on inner margin before middle ; while 
the ochreous-yellow band of the hind-wing is increased to a patch 
as large as in the Hippocoon-like Second Form. — Hab. Delagoa 
Bay {Mj's. Monteiro). 
f. An example like ordinary 9 in all respects, except that in fore-wing 
it has a continuous white subapical bar as in Second Form, and 
that in hind-wing the ochre-yellow band (though scarcely extending 
beyond middle) reaches almost to base itself. — Hab. King Wil- 
liam's Town (/. H. Boivker). 
g. An individual like the last (/) in the subapical bar, but differing in 
that there is a good-sized very pale-yellow inner-marginal marking 
on fore-wing, and that the large discal spot is white, and diffusedly 
extended downward so as almost to meet it. — Hab. Delagoa Bay 
{Mrs. Monteiro).

This specimen and another received in 1884 have the ordinary 
markings of the forms which they link, excepting that the patch 
of the hind-wings, though not obscured at the base, is de- 
cidedly narrower. All the markings are tinged with faint, 
dull, ochreous-yellow. — Hab. St. Lucia Bay (the late Colonel 
H. Tower)^ and Delagoa Bay {Mrs. Monteiro).

This example has the subapical bar of the fore-wings consider- 
ably broader than usual, and yellowish brick-red instead of 
white. The field of red common to both wings differs from 
that ordinarily presented in being darker (inclining to ferru- 
ginous) and smaller, in the fore-wings not reaching to the 
median nervure, and clouded with fuscous between that 
nervure and the submedian nervure. — Hab. Bathurst, Cape 
Colony {Miss M. Barber). 
Larva. — " ist Stage. Black, with white filamentous tubercles on 
second segment and anal segment. 
" 2d Stage. Two pairs of filamentous tubercules on same segments, 
the first and last pair longest ; a white transverse lunular band, con- 
nected with the head laterally, across sixth and seventh segments. 
Laterally a broad white band above spiracles. Last two segments 
whitish.
