! ous-yellow. Fore-iving : on subcostal nervules, rather before midway 
between extremity of discoidal cell and apex, two very small and indis- 
1 tinct (sometimes quite evanescent) yellowish spots, forming a very 
' short slender oblique mark. Hind-iving : costal border more or less 
brownish-grey towards apex. Cilia brownish-grey, becoming whitish 
j about posterior and anal angles. Under side. — Hind-wing, and all 
\ fore-wing except a wide dull-whitish inne7'-7narginal border, pale dull 
greyish-yellow with a faint greenish tinge, mai'hed with some scarcely 
'paler yellowish grey-edged spots. Fore-iving : subcostal spots better 
defined than on upper side, and beginning a discal row of six, the 
third and fourth of which stand together beyond the rest, and the fifth 
and sixth obliquely nearer base. Hind- whig : discal row composed of 
elongate confluent spots, extending from costal to submedian nervure, 
sharply angulated on second subcostal nervule near hind-margin ; whole 
of inner-marginal fold much paler, inclining to dull-whitish. 
^ Bather darker, with a general yelloioish tinge, hut witliout any 
direct yellow suffusion ; fore-iving with a discal row of small distinct 
pale-yellowish spots arranged as on tender side of Fore-wing : usually 
a third (uppermost) minute spot at subcostal commencement of discal 
row, also an eighth rather indistinct spot immediately above sub- 
median nervure. Hind-iving : a short, faint, median discal row of 
three dull-yellowish elongate marks, representing in part that of under 
side. Under side. — Like that of hut considerably yellower, and 
ivith all the markings much more distinct. Fore-iving : inner-marginal 
and (especially) central area of a much darker grey. Hind-wing : 
inner-marginal fold greyer. 
Variety A. $ and $ {Letter stcdti, Wallengr.). 
^ Rather darker, without ochre-yellow suffusion, but with more or 
less of a pale dull greenish-yellow tinge, especially near bases. Fore- 
wing : often a decided greenish-yellow irroration basally and along 
costal border. Under side. — Much yellower, nearer in tint to typical 
%, and with the markings almost as distinct. Hind-wing : inner- 
marginal fold grey, darker about anal angle, — only the inner edge 
yellowish. 
% Like typical %, except that the discal spots are usually larger 
and yellower and better defined, especially in hind-wing, and that 
the yellow irroration from bases usually extends pretty widely over 
inner-marginal areas, as well as along costa of fore-wing. Under 
SIDE. — Like typical but central and inner-marginal area of fore- 
wing and inner-marginal fold of hind-wing darker.

In Rhopalocera Africce Australis I treated the more prevalent 
form just described as typical (as indeed it is of Letterstedti, Wal- 
lengr.), noting that the rather smaller form, with ochreous-yellow suffu- 
sion, characteristic of the Cape Peninsula and the Western Districts,
