SOUTH-AFRICA^T BUTTERFLIES. 
entire disk oclire-yellow ; a brown suffusion over basal and inner- 
marginal region and narrowly along costa ; a moderately broad hind- 
marginal border of dark-brown, traversed by two parallel lunulated 
pale-brown streaks, of which the outer is well-marked ; beyond middle 
a row of five black ocelli with minute bluish-white centres ; of these, 
the first (close to costa) and the second (between second subcostal and 
radial nervules) are widely separated from each other and from the other 
three (which lie between the third median nervule and anal angle), and 
the fourth is the smallest and usually bipupillate. Under side. — 
Ilincl-iuing and iase and apex of forc-wing pale-hroivn, varied loitli dull 
cream-coloui\ and streaked with dark-broivn. Fore-wing : four bluish- 
white, irregularly-shaped spots in discoidal cell near its extremity, and 
a fifth (minute) just beyond cell ; the second and third white spots of 
outer transverse row (close to apex) ringed with yellow, and the third 
also with an inner black ring so as to constitute a perfect ocellus ; the 
apical pale-brown extends along great part of hind-margin and is 
traversed by two parallel slightly-sinuated dark-brown submarginal 
streaks. Hind-wing : basal region crossed by three extremely irregular 
dark-brown striae, of which the outermost is greatly interrupted but 
joins the innermost by a longitudinal streak running between . sub- 
median and internal nervures ; an independent short stria marking 
extremity of discoidal cell ; ocelli more elaborate than on upper side, 
all in yellow rings outwardly brown-edged and containing a more or 
less incomplete internal blue iris ; occasionally a sixth small ocellus 
situated between the first and second, but usually only a very faint 
circular spot there ; the three lower ocelli surrounded by dark-brown 
clouding ; the two submarginal brown stride conspicuous on the pale 
ground. 
^ Like the ^, but duller and paler in colour ; the white oUique 
costal har of fore-wing consideraUy hroader. On under side of fore-wing 
the two inner bluish spots in discoidal cell are enlarged and sometimes 
confluent, forming a short rather wide bar indented outwardly. 
Intimately allied to D. dendrophiliis, Trimen, but at once known by 
the very conspicuous white spots of the fore-wings, particularly those of 
the inner row, which in D. dendrophilus are always small and ochreous 
and externally ill-defined or suffused, and in some specimens almost 
indistinguishable from the general ochreous clouding. The continuous 
costal bar formed by the conjunction of the upper four spots of this 
row is the most striking feature of this character ; it is quite constant in 
the male, and more developed in the females that I have seen. The 
larger size and darker ground-colour as well as the much brighter 
ochre-yellow of the hind-wings are also very noticeable in Indosa, the 
female being in proportion to the male very much larger than is the case 
in Dendrophilus ; while the under side of the hind- wings is paler and more 
variegated. The ocelli are larger and more conspicuous than in Den- 
drojyhilus, and are much more constant in number (five) and position ;
