Cydopides Tsita^ Trim., Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., 1870, p. 386, pi. vi. 
Exp. al, I in. 1-4 lin. ; ($) i in. 3-3^ lin. 
Allied to C. Lejpeleiierii, Latr., and C. inornatus, Trimen. 
$ Glossy greyish -hroiun, unicolorous, loithoiit markings of any 
hind ; cilia paler, with a silky lustre, Uisdee side. — Hind-iving {except 
fuscous-hroivn inner -marginal fold) and costal and apical-hind-marginal 
border of fore-ioing paler hrown with a reddish tinge, and with the neu- 
ration usually finely ivhitish in parts ; hind-margin of hoth wings with 
a fine ivhitish edging line. Hind-wing : two longitudinal white streaks 
(as in Lepeletierii) but more attenuated, — in some specimens quite faint 
or reduced to mere whitish lines ; neuration generally whitish, but 
seldom so above disco-cellular fold ; between the two white streaks 
(even when the streaks are scarcely represented) some more or less 
developed diffuse white irroration. 
$ Like but rather paler on both surfaces, and with longer and 
more pointed fore-wings. Under side. — Fine white neuration general 
and better defined, but white stripes reduced to mere lines like the 
white nervures. 
It is in specimens from King William's Town and Kaffraria Proper 
that the white stripes and irroration of the under side of the hind-wings 
are best expressed. A constant feature distinguishing Tsita from 
Lepeletierii is the fine white neuration more or less prevalent on the 
under side, to which should be added the fine white hind-marginal 
edging line. The J^atal examples that I have met with are smaller 
than usual, and, like the Basutoland ones on which I founded the spe- 
cies, have the white stripes on the under side of the hind-wings no 
wider and no more conspicuous than the adjacent white nervures. 
Mr. W. S. M. D' Urban noted this obscurely tinted species as abundant in 
the King William's Town District ; and Colonel Bowker found it commonly 
about grassy spots in Kaffraria Proper, and in similar places by river-banks m 
Basutoland. The examples that I captured on the Natal coast haunted similar 
localities, flitting about long grass in February and March. A specimen taken 
in Zululand by Captain Goodrich is ticketed ''November 1886," and three 
from Weenen County, Natal, were captured by Mr. J. M. Hutchinson in Janu- 
ary 1888.
