SOUTH-AFKICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
same author observes that he was acquainted with the ^ only ; and the 
two examples from which my description is made both appear to be of 
that seXj but one has lost the abdomen and is otherwise injured. The 
most striking distinctive features of this rare species are those specially 
noticed, viz., on the upper side (i) the complete enclosure of the ocellus 
of fore-wing in the fulvous patch, and (2) the exceptionally large extent 
of the fulvous patch in the hind- wing; and on the under side (3) the 
two transverse ferruginous stria before the ocelli of the hind- wing, and 
(4) the extraordinary looping of the stria just beyond them. Apart 
from these distinctions, Natalii on the whole resembles P. Narycia and 
Neita, Wallengr., more nearly than any others of the genus yet de- 
scribed ; ^ but in the first and fourth features just mentioned it stands 
quite alone. 
Beyond the solitary much-injured specimen from Damaraland noted by me 
(loc. cit.) in 1866, I have seen only three examples of this butterfly, viz., one 
taken in 1875 by Mr. F. W. Barber on the N.W. border of the Transvaal; 
another found on the Tati River in 1882 by Mr. F. C. Selous ; and the third in 
the collection brought from Matabeleland by Mr. Jamieson in 188 1. Only 
the first of these three localities is south of the Tropic.

1 In Mr. Selous's collection from the Tropical Interior of South Africa there are several 
examples of a much closer ally of Natalii. This form is larger, has the fulvous patch in 
both wings much smaller, and on the under side of the hind-wings wants the stria before 
middle, and has that beyond the ocelli unlooped.
