SATYRIN^.

This species stands nearer to P. Hyperhius^ Linn., than to any other 
South- African Pseudonympha ; but it differs from the latter in its much 
paler colouring throughout, its total want of any ocelli or fulvous 
colouring on the upper side of the hind-wings (in which respect it is 
like P. Narycia^ Wallengren), its hatching of greyish-yellow on the 
upper side of the costa of the fore-wings, its much yellower and more 
distinct under-side hatching and irroration, and its want of the two 
transverse ferruginous stri^ on the under side of the hind-wings. 
Colonel Bowker discovered this species in the Uitenhage District in August 
1870; and in July 1872 he sent an example from the DLstrict of Albert. In 
the latter year Mrs. Barber forwarded a specimen captured by her in the Storm- 
bergen, forming the southern boundary of the Albert District. 
It was not until January 1876 that the butterfly was recorded from the 
Western Districts, owing to my taking two individuals at the village of Kobert- 
son; and a few years afterwards (September 1879) I met with a solitary speci- 
men at Malmesbury, about thirty miles north of Cape Town. These examples 
occurred only singly, flitting about stony spots, and looked on the wing like 
rather faded P. Hyperlius.

Pale-brown^ inclining to grey ; in fore-wing a well-defined discal 
patch of fuhous ; hind-wing ivholly loitliout mwrldng. Fore-wing : api- 
cal ocellus rather large, very distinct, black, with two small silvery- 
white pupils, and in a very pale-yellowish ring outwardly edged with 
fuscous ; fulvous patch beginning near extremity of discoidal cell, ex- 
tending as far as inner and beyond lower edge of ring of ocellus, not 
rising above first radial nervule, or descending quite as far as submedian 
nervure ; a rather indistinct submarginal dark streak from costa bound- 
ing the even outer edge of fulvous patch. Under side. — Very similar 
to upper side, but hind-wing luith a discal series of five very distinct ocelli. 
Fore-wing : fulvous patch slightly smaller, being straighter along its 
inner edge ; submarginal dark streak more distinct than on upper side. 
Hind-wing : series of ocelli sharply angulated on third median nervule, 
— first ocellus (between subcostal nervules) almost always considerably
