SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
on tlie upper side, but has less olivaceous suffusion from bases and a ■ 
darker ground-colour, while on the under side it differs more widely I 
than does the $ in respect of its want of the olivaceous-yellow, espe- • 
cially in those specimens where the sub-violaceous gloss and the whitish 
median fascia of the hind-wings are best expressed. Moreover, the 
shape of the wdngs is in both sexes different from that observable in 
Borhonica, — the fore-wings being less produced and blunter at the apex, 
and the hind- wings at the anal angle. 
I first met with this species at D 'Urban, Natal, in August 1865, and sub- 
sequently in the summer of 1867 captured a good many examples there. 
Colonel Bowker has sent me a number of specimens from the same neighbour- 
hood, and Mr. A. D. Millar notes the species as common there. It flits about 
grass and low plants, and constantly visits flowers, Vinca rosea being its 
favourite in the Botanic Gardens at D'Urban.

^ Glossy -hrown, with a dense clothing of dull olivaceous-yellow 
hairs and scales over hasi-inner-marginal area of fore-wing and all hind- 
wing except a hroad costal and apical and narrow hind-marginal border; 
a well-marked discal series of vitreous spots in fore-wing, and a few small 
ones in hind-wing. Fore-iving : apical half sparsely scaled with oliva- 
ceous-yellow ; in discoidal cell, close to extremity, two small vitreous spots, 
one above the other ; discal series of spots much as in Borbonica^ but not 
so sharply angulated, the spots considerably smaller (but not so small as 
in Fatuellus, Hopff.), and, iii place of the loivest one, a narrow straight 
obliquely transverse streak from first median nervule to submedian ner- 
vure. Hind-wing : discal spots minute, often indistinct, varying in 
number from one to five, lying between first subcostal and first median.
