Brownish-blach ; both luings luith a hand of oclirc-yclloiu ; the fore- 
wing with small white spots in apical portion. 
^ Fore-ivivg : band from costal edge a little before middle to inner 
margin just before anal angle, narrowest on costa and widening down- 
ward, slightly arched outward ; about midway between band and apex, 
three small spots form a thin transverse costal streak, the spot on costal 
edge being ochre-yellow, and the other two spots white ; parallel to 
hind-margin a row of five to six small white spots between costa and 
second median nervule, the spot next costa germinate ; costa from 
base to ochre-yellow band dull-ferruginous. Hind-wing : band hind- 
marginal, much narrower than that of fore-wing, extending only from 
apex to third median nervule, traversed longitudinally by an indistinct 
lunulated ferruginous-brown streak ; a little before band two suffused 
transverse black streaks, convergent, but not extending below third 
median nervule ; anal angle acuminate, and anal-angular portion pro- 
duced ; a long, ferruginous, whitish-tipped tail at extremity of third 
median nervule ; another (not whitish-tipped and only half as long) 
on first, and an acute dentation on second median nervule ; between 
third and second nervules a very imperfect blue-dotted black ocellus 
edged outwardly by an ochre-yellow lunule, and immediately below it 
a similar but almost complete ocellus ; close to hind-margin some in- 
distinct black lunulate marks, that at anal angle preceded by a 
pale-bluish streak. Cilia white between nervures. Undek side. — 
Hind-iuing and ajncal portion of fore-^ving variegated with ochreoiis 
and ferruginous hrown and with lilac-hlue irrorations. Fore-wing : 
band much paler than on upper side, and white on costa ; apical white 
markings as on upper side, but fuscous-edged, the streak from costa 
wider and immediately preceded by some lilac-blue irroration ; in dis- 
coidal cell, a black ferruginous-centred spot in a bluish-white ring, and 
a similarly-coloured transverse bar (touching inner edge of yellowish 
band) whose white edges are irregularly prolonged below cell to sub- 
median nervure ; hind-margin edged with ochreous and ferruginous 
1 Mr. A. G. Butler [Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist, Ser. V. vol, v. No. 28, April 1880, 
p. 336) has proposed for Boisduval's Ilippomene of Bourbon and Mauritius the name of 
Hypanartia commixta, observing that it, as well as the true Hippomene of Hlibner, occurs 
in Natal. He thus evidently associates as identical Boisduval's Ilippomene and my South- 
African Schcencia ; but, to judge by Boisduval's figures, the tv^o forms are distinct. How- 
ever this may be, Mr. Butler's name commixta will have to yield precedence to Oberthiir's 
title of Bor.'jcnica, given to Boisduval's insect in the Ann. Mus. Civ. d. St. Nat. Geneva, vol. 
XV., February 1880, p. 36.
