SOUTH-AFRICAX BUTTERFLIES. 
extremity of cell and apex, and an inferior inwardly-oblique row of 
two, immediately adjacent to lower and outer disco-cellular spot, one 
just above and the other just below second median nervule ; between 
three superior and two inferior discal vitreous spots, in some specimens 
two additional minute vitreous spots, one above and the other below 
lower radial nervule ; immediately before disco-cellular and inferior 
discal vitreous spots, a rather broad, ill-defined blackish fascia, extend- 
ing to submedian nervure ; before middle, between median and sub- 
median nervures, a short, narrow, obliquely transverse blackish streak, 
of which the portion below origin of first median nervule is marked 
with two minute bluish-white spots on its inner edge ; bluish-white 
submarginal irroration alw^ays sparse, very variable in development, 
sometimes scarcely perceptible, but occasionally forming an ill-defined 
fascia. Hind-iumg : a strongly-curved, somewhat irregular discal 
series of seven blackish spots, very variable in distinctness, and in 
some examples obsolete ; bluish-white irroration better expressed than 
in fore-wing, most developed at anal angle and along lower half of 
hind-margin, but usually also shown to some extent before discal series 
of spots. Under side. — Fore-wing with Uacldsh markings quite obsolete; 
hind-ioing pure ivliite, luith a hroacl costal-apical hroicn horder. Fore- 
wing : vitreous spots as on upper side, but without blackish edges ; 
submarginal irroration, without bluish tinge, confined to inferior disc 
below vitreous spots, sometimes forming two ill-defined whitish spots, 
between first median nervule and submedian nervure. Hind-wing: 
base bluish- white ; costal border narrow at base but broad beyond 
middle, and terminating rather abruptly on hind-margin a little below 
second subcostal nervule ; along lower edge of costal border a series of 
three conspicuous good-sized black spots, the first and second respec- 
tively before and about middle, and both below costal nervure, the 
third (first of discal series) between subcostal nervules ; remaining 
spots of discal series very much smaller than the first (two or more of 
them sometimes obsolete), but very conspicuous on the pure-white 
ground ; close to hind-margin a submacular, more or less interrupted, 
narrow brown border, best developed on each side of first median 
nervule. Cilia pale-brown, mixed with white in fore-wing below first 
median nervule, in hind-wing (to a greater degree) below second sub- 
costal nervule. 
Head and hody brown above, white beneath. Head with seven 
small pure-white spots above, viz., two in middle in front, one behind 
base of each antenna, and three at back (one in middle and one on 
each side) ; palpi brown above, with a small white spot at extremity 
of middle joint, — beneath pure white, with terminal joint and tip of 
middle joint black ; antennae black, with club beneath creamy-yellowish. 
Legs white, — the tibiae and tarsi faintly tinged with brownish. Ahdo- 
men above and laterally with segmental incisions very finely marked 
with pure white.
