SOUTH-AFKICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
The $ seems to be very seldom met with : the specimen figured 
was taken in copuld on 3d September 1878, by Colonel Bowker, at 
D' Urban, Natal. 
I took this curious little butterfly rarely at Plettenberg Bay, Cape Colony, 
in February 1858, and also near Grahamstown in the same month of 1870. 
It is numerous in KafFraria and Natal, and in the latter country (chiefly on the 
coast) I captured many specimens in the summer of 1867. It is tolerably 
active, frequenting hilly and bushy spots, and often settling with expanded 
wings on the ground or on low plants. I have noticed that it soon loses its 
glossy dark tints, becoming worn and dull ; the $ , too, not long retaining the 
remarkable snow-white fringe of hair and long scales on the front legs. 
Djcelcelce has an immense African range, and is recorded also to occur at 
Aden.
