SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
bordered with ground-colour ; three small fuscous spots form a short 
transverse row near base. 
$ Similar, hut duller and paler throughout. Fore-iving : costal 
stripe wanting, but represented by some yellow irroration. 
This is a near relative of the widely spread Indo-Malayan P. 
Augias, (Linn.), but the $ wants the discal badge on the fore-?wings of 
the latter, as well as the extension of the yellow costal band almost to 
apex, and the evenness and continuance of the discal row of spots 
(which forms a band) and its radiation on nervules to hind-margin. 
The $ Zeno also wants in the fore-wings the costal yellow beyond 
middle of Augias and her discal row of spots diiFers in the same 
way, though in a less degree, as noted with regard to the $ ^. On the 
under side both sexes of the South- African species are of a paler yellow 
throughout, both as respects the ground-colour and the markings ; the 
latter are better defined ; and the fuscous spots near the base of hind- 
wings are a character wanting in Augias. 
Colonel Bowker discovered this rare species in Kaffraria Proper in 1863, and 
sent me a and two $ specimens. He also captured a 9 at Pinetown, Satal, 
in May 1879. ]\Ir. A. D. Millar, forwarding a fine $ for identification, writes 
(June 1888) that he took the species numerously at the foot of the Howick 
Falls of the Umgeni, near Maritzhurg, but that it is seldom seen on the coast. 
He observed one example only at Pinetown. At Oxford, in 1867, 1 noted one 
example in the Rev. H. Rowley's Zanibesian collection.
