SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
any tropical locality) is not uncommon on the eastern side of South 
Africa, especially in Natal. I have not seen living Pillaana, but 
observed in Natal that Canopies frequented the borders of woods and 
often visited the flowers of Labiate plants, and that it held the wings 
fully expanded when settled.

$ Greyish-hrown, varied with darker and with paler transverse 
markings ; fore-iving luith transverse vitreous markings, hind-wing ivith 
semi-transparent dingy-iuhitish median fascia. Fore-iving : just about 
middle a narrow, transverse, sinuated, submacular vitreous stripe, finely 
black-edged, from costa to submedian nervure, interrupted on first 
median nervule, between which and submedian nervure are a minute 
and a small spot in succession ; a minute separate vitreous black-edged 
spot just beyond stripe, between origins of second and third median 
nervules ; a little beyond vitreous stripe a submacular blackish irregular 
stria from first median nervule to submedian nervure ; on costa, about 
midway between vitreous stripe and apex, a short narrow rather irre- 
gular oblique vitreous streak, crossed by three nervules and immediately 
succeeded by a fuscous cloud ; immediately beyond this a whitish costal 
transverse mark, which is the beginning of an almost imperceptible 
waved pale discal streak, bounding exteriorly the blackish irregular 
stria ; a rather narrow paler hind-marginal edging. Hind-iving : basal 
area dark-brown, with a tinge of ferruginous superiorly ; median semi- 
transparent fascia broad, extending from costa to below median nervure 
and its first nervule (where it ends abruptly, but emits two small 
acute projections), and traversed by two parallel unequal greyish-brown 
streaks, traces of a discal pale streak continuous of that of fore-wing ; 
ground-colour beyond this tinged with ferruginous ; hind-marginal pale 
streak as in fore-wing, but inclining to whitish at anal angle. Cilia of 
the ground-colour black-spotted at extremities of nervules. Under 
SIDE. — Much paler, especially in hind-wing, where didl-whitish (slightly 
grey-clouded at hase) occupies area to heyond middle. Fore-wing: 
vitreous markings as on upper side ; a hind-marginal pale cloud suc- 
ceeds sinuated discal streak. Hind-iving : streaks traversing median 
fascia almost obsolescent ; an obsolescent similar streak crossing disk 
beyond them.

1 In fig. 6a the under-side colouring is not accuratnly given, the fore-wing being much 
too dark and the hind-wing too yellow.
