SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
12. (5.) Pseudonympha D'Urbani, sp. nov, 
Exp. al., I in. 8-10 lin. I 
Dull-hrovm ; a subqiiadrate discal fidvous 'patch and rather small \ 
hlacJcj ivhite-hipupillate ocellus in fore-wing ; two indistinct (sometimes 
obsolete) minute unipupillate fidvous-ringed ocelli in hind-wing. Fore- 
wing : fulvous patch small, clearly defined, even on both edges, — reach- 
ing superiorly as far as dull-yellowish ring of ocellus along inner and 
lower edge, and inferiorly to a little below first median nervule, — not t 
infringing on discoidal cell ; along median nervure a more or less 
distinct suffused fidvous streah. Hind-iving : ocelli between first and 1 
third median nervules, the upper one usually a little larger, and with 
its fulvous ring sufiused. Under side. — Fore-iuing : outer edge of 
fulvous patch bounded by a dentated dark-brown streak, commencing 
close to costa; in some examples the discoidal cell presents, a little 
beyond its middle, a faint, transverse, fulvous mark. Hind-wing: j 
three dark-brown irregular transverse streaks — one before, one about, 
and the third beyond, middle ; between the central and outer streaks 
the ground-colour is paler, forming a broad fascia, marked exteriorly 
with four minute but well-defined unipupillate, black, yellow-ringed | 
ocelli, of which the first is between the two subcostal nervules and the I 
others in a row between third median nervule and submedian nervure ; 
these ocelli very finely encircled exteriorly with dark-brown. 
This Pseudonympha is nearly related to P. JVeita, Wallengr., but is 
easily distinguished by its total want on the %inder side of the hind- 
wings of any hasal fidvous, and its possession of a quite distinct pale 
discal fascia^ and of a third (pre-median) dark transverse streak. On 
the upper side as well as on the under side all the ocelli are smaller, 
and in much duller rings, especially those of the hind-wings. 
Mr. W. S. M. D'Urban, F.L.S., late curator of the Exeter Museum, dis- 
covered males of this butterfly at King William's Town and Bodiam, in the 
colony of British Kafifraria, in the year 1861 ; and it gives me great pleasure to 
name the species in his honour. It was not until 1870 that I saw three other 
^ examples, which were taken by Mrs. Barber, two near Grahamstown and 
the other at King William's Town; and in 1872 Colonel Bowker sent a 
and two $ from the Albert District in the north-east of Cape Colony. No 
other specimens have come under my notice.
