wp'parent Fore-wing : vitreous markings broader ; a sub-basal denticu- 
late blackish transverse streak ; at apex a dark-brown spot. Hind' 
wing : semi-transparent fascia broader, prolonged on its inner side 
almost to inner margin. Under side. — Considerably paler, nearly all 
the surface being dull-whitish., except an interrupted submarginal 
brownish fascia. Fore-iving : costal commencement and inner-marginal 
termination of submarginal fascia ferruginous-brown. Hind-iuing : no 
grey at base. 
This butterfly, the type of Wallenguen's genus Caprona, appears to be 
exceedingly rare. I have seen only four examples — a $ (described in RJiopalo- 
cera Africce Australis), taken in Damaraland by Mr. John A. Eell as long ago 
as 1862 ; another $ , captured on the Upper Limpopo, not very far south of 
Bamangwato, by Mr. F. Barber in 1875; ^ found at Pinetown, Natal, by 
Colonel Bowker in 1879; ^ taken by Mr. F. C. Selous, on the 
Makloutse River, not far south of Tati, in Southern Matabeleland, in 1882. 
Its obscure colouring may, however, lead to its being overlooked by most 
collectors.

^ Semi-transparent creamy-white, with vitreous hands and spots; 
base in both wings and apical area of fore- wing ferruginous-ochreouSy 
varied with blackish marks. Fore-wing : basal patch rather broad, well- 
defined, irrorated with fuscous atoms ; touching it, in discoidal cell a 
small subvitreous spot, separated by a fuscous-ochreous line from a sub- 
vitreous band of three rather large contiguous spots between subcostal 
and submedian nervures ; a broad median vitreous band of six spots 
(of which the two costal are sublinear, the two central large and sub- 
quadrate, and the two lower small and irregular in shape) extends from 
costa to submedian nervure, and is edged internally by a thin fuscous- 
ochreous line, and externally by the apical patch, which encloses a 
small, round, vitreous spot between third and second median nervules ;
