obscure-fulvous area very ill-defined, barely attaining outer ring of 
ocellus, but descending as far as submedian nervure. Ilind-iving : 
obscure-fulvous area only occupying lower and outer half of cell, but 
extending beyond over median nervules (and a little above and below 
them) to not far from hind-margin. Under side. — Hind-wing lioary^ 
closehj speckled with hroivn ; a little hcyond middle, a yjell-defined, irre- 
gular^ rather Uuntly dentate, dark-hrown transverse streak. Fore-iving : 
fulvous much paler and better defined ; apex paler than rest of margin 
and speckled with brown. Hind-wing : costa marked with some very 
small fuscous spots ; before middle, a very indistinct, irregular, in- 
terrupted transverse dark-brown streak ; streak beyond middle most 
strongly dentate in its median portion ; not far from hind-margin, two 
minute black white-unipupillate ocelli, one between subcostal nervules, 
the other between first and second median nervules. 
$ Fidvous in hotk wings faler^ hctter defined. Fore-iuing : apical 
ocellus considerably larger, its pale outer ring better defined. Hind- 
wing : a very minute ocellus, with a white centre between first and 
second median nervules. Under side. — As in ^, but the hind-wing 
with coarser mottling, inclining to striolation, with the streak before 
middle almost obsolete, and that beyond middle less distinct and rather 
suffused. 
Burchell's very brief diagnosis leaves it doubtful whether his Mon- 
tana is identical with Cramer's species, but his rough woodcut of the 
upper side (though it gives two small ocelli near the anal angle of the 
hind- wings instead of one) evidently depicts the fulvous area in both 
wings as occupying the same spaces ; and this character (coupled with 
the conspicuous dark-brown streak beyond the middle on the under 
side of the hind-wings) affords the best distinction of the true Hip2^ict, 
the area in question being so much larger (especially in the fore-wing, 
where it extends almost to the base) than in the nearly-allied P. vigilans, 
Trim. 
I have seen but two examples (a and a $ ) which are strictly referable to 
the Hippia of Cramer, — the numerous specimens mentioned under that name 
in liliopalocera Africce Australis being, I am now of opinion, of a different 
thouf^h very closely-related species. 
These two examples were captured by myself near Cape Town, on the sum- 
mit of the southern part of the Table Mountain range, in February 1864 and 
January 1865. Dr. Burchell's insect is also noted as having been taken on 
the summit of the eastern side of Table Mountain on the 24tli January 181 1.
