like that of Ochlea, but may at once be recognised by its presenting in the 
middle of the fore-wing two widely separated spots instead of the broad un- 
broken bar. 
I did not meet with this species while in Natal. Mr. W. D. Gooch informs 
me that it appears in very unequal numbers in different years, but is sometimes 
numerous. He found it, like A. Echeria, a strictly sylvan butterfly. 
Colonel Bowker took nine examples at Delagoa Bay in September 1878, 
and described the species as abundant at Lorenzo Marques, flying about with 
A. Echeria. At Quilimane he noticed it sporting in company with A. domini- 
cams. He subsequently (in 1879) forwarded several specimens captured on 
the coast of Natal. 
Like the other South- African Danaince, A. Oclilea is the object of mimicry 
by a Diadema, the imitator being D. deceptor, Trimen, an exceedingly rare 
species inhabiting the coast of Natal ; but there is no known Papilio which 
copies it.

Black, with semi-transparent white patches and spots. Fore-wing : 
inner-marginal white patch large, roughly semicircular, not extending 
to base or anal angle or into discoidal cell ; subapical oblique white 
bar broad, its extremities not attaining quite to costal or hind-marginal 
edges ; a very oblique elongate white spot in outer half of discoidal 
cell ; another (longitudinally) close to costa, immediately before sub- 
apical bar ; two small rounded spots close to apex ; a submarginal row 
of 3 — 4 small spots just below subapical bar, succeeded by a hind- 
marginal row of smaller spots. Hind-iving : one large white patch 
occupies the greater part of the area, leaving only a narrow basal, a 
linear costal, and a broad hind-marginal (much widened at anal angle) 
border, diminishing gradually along inner margin to base. Under side 
similar, but the white markings all larger and with suffused edges — 
notably the hind- wing patch, which covers the whole inner- marginal 
and anal-angular region, and leaves only a rather narrow brown border 
at apex and along upper part of hind-margin. Fore-wing : apical 
region beyond bar brown. Hind-iuing : two small white spots at base. 
In the 6 the nervures are strongly clouded with black, as well as
