the 4th March 1867 I again met with the species at Mapuniulo, between the 
XJmvoti and Tugela Rivers, capturing one of each sex among grass at the bottom 
of a deep ravine. Captain H. C. Harford, who sent me a (J from Pinetown, 
taken in January 1869, also noted the butterfly as occurring among long grass. 
In ]!^atal it is rather a scarce species, Colonel Bowker having forwarded single 
specimens only from Avoca in August 1878 and from the Lower Umkomazi 
in February 1883 respectively. Its range northward must, however, be great, 
as, besides examples found between the Limpopo and Zambesi by Mr. T. 
Ayres, the South- African Museum possesses a pair taken by Colonel Bowker 
at Zanzibar in September 1878. These specimens, as well as four others taken 
by M. Selous in North- West Transvaal, all have the ocelli well developed, and 
quite agree with the Natalian type.

Ex'p. al., ($) I in. 78 lin. ; ($) 2 in. 
^ Very pale ochre-yelloiv ; fore-iving slightly deeper in tint, and 
with a costal-apical hordering of rcddish-hrotvn ; common to both wings, 
a fine transverse discal darker line, relieved externally by a lighter 
line or streak, and two slightly-sinuated submarginal darker lines 
(very faintly marked in hind- wing). Fore-iuing : brown border com- 
mencing faintly at base, continued narrowly along costa as far as ex- 
tremity of discoidal cell, and thence darkening and widening into a 
good-sized apical patch, ill-defined interiorly, which extends along 
hind-margin as far as end of second median nervule ; inner of two sub- 
marginal lines developed into a strongly-marked streak of brown, darker 
than that of apical patch .; a small black, white-pupilled, yellow-ringed 
ocellus near apex between the radial nervules, and a similar, much 
larger, conspicuous ocellus on disc, between first and second median 
nervules. Hind-iving : a discal series of three minute, similar, but 
very imperfect non-pupillate ocelli between third median nervule and
