I and abdomen above blackish, beneatli creamy-yellow ; tlie former above 
with some pale-yellowish hairs frontally, laterally, and posteriorly ; the 
latter above with last four segmental incisions and terminal tuft yel- 
low, beneath whitish edged on each side by a series of small black 
' spots. Legs with femora and tibige yellow tipped with black, and tarsi 
brownish scaled with yellowish- white. 
$ Like ^ , but rather paler ; the wings blunter — the fore-wing not 
so pointed apically, and the hind- wing less prominent about anal angle. 
j A very distinct species, well characterised by its pronounced and 
■ sharply-defined spotting on the upper side, and by the conspicuous 
^ black spots and streaks of the under side. 
I Mr. W. S. M. D'Urban first made known to me this pretty species ; he 
; took a single example at King William's Town on the 8tli December i860. 
; Colonel Bowker has since forwarded several specimens from Kaffraria Proper 
and the Coast Districts of Natal ; it does not appear to be at all numerous in the 
latter region, and during my visit in 1867 I fell in with but one specimen, on 
' 2ist March, between Itongati and Verulam. At Pinetown Colonel Bowker 
i took the species in December 1884. Only four $ s have reached me, the 
; largest being from Delagoa Bay.
