SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
and but moderately hairy in the The twenty species referable 
to the group are remarkable for the beauty, and often the large size, of 
the ocellated spots which adorn the upper side of the wings, and some 
(among which are the three South-African species) are further orna- 
mented by a blue space or a large blue spot on the hind-wings. On 
the under side the colouring is remarkably plain and uniform, the hind- 
wings and apical area of fore- wings being pale-clay colour, inclining to 
either a yellowish or greyish tinge, with the ocellated spots chiefly 
obsolete or inconspicuously and imperfectly represented. This under 
surface here is protective, especially when the butterfly is settled on 
the ground — a frequent practice of the Jmionice, which are active, alert 
insects, with the habits of the Vanessce and allies. 
The genus ranges throughout the warmer parts of the world 
(except, apparently, Western Polynesia), but does not enter the Palse- 
arctic Region, except at points along its southern boundary. The 
greater part of the genus is Oriental and Australian, five (or perhaps 
six) species are African, and three American. The three natives of 
Southern Africa are J. Cehrene, Trimen, J. Clclia (Cram.), and /. 
Bodpis, Trimen. Of these, the first and second have a very wide range 
through Africa, while the third inhabits Damaraland, the Zambesi 
Valley, and the Transvaal, extending from the latter country to Delagoa 
Bay and Natal. Cehrene is at once recognisable by the broad ochre- 
yellow patches on the upper side ; Clclia and Bodjns agree in possessing | 
a creamy-white subapical bar in the fore-wings, but the former has in t 
the hind-wings only a circular blue spot like that of Cehrene, while the i 
latter has nearly all the hind-wing surface blue. Bodpis is the African 
representative of the widely-spread Oriental species, Orilhyaj Linn.
