SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
nine spots highly irregular, — the first three very small, forming a short 
incurved costal streak about midway between end of cell and apex, 
the fourth and fifth also very small, situated nearer to hind-margin, 
— the sixth larger, subquadrate, in a straight line beneath first three,' — 
the seventh and ninth large, longitudinally elongate, in a slightly oblique 
line beneath disco- cellular one (from which the seventh is separated 
only by median nervure),— and the eighth minute, between seventh 
and ninth, and in one specimen united to latter. Hind-wing : dis- 
coidal cell and nearly all inner-marginal area below and beyond it 
clothed with yellow hairs ; terminal disco-cellular spot shaped similarly 
to that in fore-wing, but not so elongate ; in discal series six spots, of 
which the first and sixth are very small, rounded, but the others narrow 
and elongated longitudinally, contiguous, the second and fourth pro- 
jecting considerably beyond the rest. Under side. — Hi^id-iving, and 
all fore-iving excerpt inner-marginal area up to a little distance from 
hind-margin, bright chrome-yelloiu ; spots arranged as on upper side, hut 
very sharply and distinctly Uach-edged ; neuration hcyond discal spots, 
and a hind-marginal edging line, hlacJc. Fore-iving : inner-marginal 
fuscous area extending narrowly to posterior angle, and slightly en- 
croaching on lower edge of discoidal cell. Hind-ioing : close to base, 
between costal and subcostal nervures, a small black spot ; another, 
rather farther from base, between median and submedian nervures; 
submedian and internal nervures black ; all six spots of discal series 
equally distinct, contiguous, — and a seventh (separate) spot between 
costal nervure and first subcostal nervule. 
Head above black, with a few creamy- white hairs intermixed; on 
vertex a median lougitudinal line and a conspicuous spot next each 
eye, as well as a posterior half -ring round eyes, creamy-white ; palpi 
above black with a few yellowish hairs intermixed, beneath creamy- 
white tinged with yellow superiorly, — the small terminal joint all black; 
antennm black, ringed at joints with creamy-yellowish (conspicuously 
so beneath), — the club very slightly acuminated and recurved, dull-red 
at tip. Thorax above fuscous, densely clothed with yellowish hair, 
especially posteriorly ; beneath creamy-whitish ; legs yellow. Abdomen 
fuscous above, very conspicuously and sharply ringed with straw- 
yellow on segmental incisions ; beneath creamy- whitish, with a row of 
elongate black spots on each side. 
$ Like $ ; but both ground-colour and spyots paler, and the yellow 
irroration in fore-iving and yelloiu pubescence in hind-iuing very much 
duller, paler, and sparser. Fore-wing : disco-cellular spot larger supe- 
riorly ; seventh spot of discal row for the greater part not in line with, 
but beyond disco-cellular spot, — ninth spot in one example considerably 
enlarged and elongated longitudinally. Under side. — As in J ; but 
inner-marginal fuscous area paler in fore-wing, and in one example 
extending up to hind-marginal edge above posterior angle as far as 
first median nervule.
