is somewhat duller, and the black spots of the fore-wing are proportionally- 
smaller, but the hind-marginal black edging has in both wings (but especially 
in the fore-wing) more prominent internervular projections. Orange-red 
deeper i more metallic; hlach hind-marginal edging in both wings broader in 
apical half ; bases slightly dusky — in one example more strongly so. Under 
BIDE. — As in $ , but the colouring generally deeper. 
The specimens here noted were captured in January 1888; and Mr. 
Hutchinson wrote that the butterfly was very plentiful for some months at one 
spot on a stony hillside at Ulundi.

The specimens (two $ s, two $ s) collected by Mr. Purcell nearly resemble 
the somewhat divergent examples of this Variety noted in the text as sent 
from the neighbourhood of Grahamstown by Mrs. Barber and Colonel Bowker, 
but in both sexes the orange is more largely developed in the fore-wing, espe- 
cially in the basal area. It is interesting to find this species occurring at the 
same season (November 1887) and in the same locality as its close but larger 
and more brilliant ally, Z. Argyraspis.
