than in $ ; rings of ocelli in Imtcl-iuing more distinct and faintly tinged 
with fulvous. Fore-iving : transverse fuscous streak bounded interiorly 
by well-marked fulvous clouding. Hind-wing : transverse fuscous 
streak exteriorly edged with somewhat suffused fulvous. Under side. 
— Fore-iving : fulvous extending more or less fully over disc as far as 
lower part of creamy macular stripe (sometimes covering the lowest 
spot). Hind-iving : white clouding of neuration and of transverse 
streaks much more restricted, but at the same time much more clearly 
defined ; rings of ocelli much more distinct — in one case quite clear 
creamy-yellow. 
This butterfly looks so very like a mere aberration of L. Clytus (Linn.), 
that I should not have been disposed to treat it as distinct had not specimens 
(the first that reached me) of both sexes been lately — 1883-84 — sent from 
Burghersdorp, in the north-east of the Cape Colony, by Dr. D. R. Kannemeyer, 
with the information from that careful observer that it was the prevalent form 
of Leptoneura in that vicinity. The differences noted in the above description 
seem to be constant, but more material is necessary to make this clear. The 
exact locality of the well-coloured 9 figured by Geyer in the " Zutrage " 
quoted is not recorded, but it is not unlikely that the specimen was taken near 
Cape Town. Mintha is, however, in contrast to Clytus, extremely rare in this 
locality, as I have never yet met with it, and the only example known to me 
as certainly found in the neighbourhood is a $ captured at Tokai, in the Cape 
District, by the late Mr. H. W. Oakley, Assistant- Curator of the South- African 
Museum, on the 4th April 1884. Mr. Oakley revisited the spot, but did not 
obtain any other specimens, though he informed me that he believed one 
Leptoneura which escaped capture belonged to the form in question.

nervule, the three upper spots united and forming a subapical bar ; 
contiguous to outer edge of bar a compound black ocellus, bipupillate
