SOUTH-AERICAX BUTTERFLIES. 
colour just below third median nervule) ; from near apex to above 
submedian a discal row of six small black spots, the lower three of 
which are in the yellow band just beyond its middle line ; the first and 
second of the row are white-centred (the latter conspicuously), and the 
sixth accompanied inferiorly by a black dot ; costa near base scaled 
with ferruginous-rufous ; in discoidal cell three black-edged irregular 
strife, of which the basal one is rufous-tinged and imperfect, the central 
one distinctly rufous in its upper portion, and the outer one of the 
ground-colour defining extremity of cell ; along hind-margin two very 
indistinct paler lunulated striae, the inner rather more apparent than 
the outer, being slightly dusted with whitish. Hincl-iving : band com- 
mencing narrowly on costa, but suddenly broadening between subcostal 
nervules, and continuing widely almost to inner margin beyond middle ; 
it is rather paler than in fore-wing, but similarly contains exteriorly a row 
of small black spots, all six of which are conspicuous on the ochre-yellow; 
hind-marginal lunulated striaa rather more distinct than in fore-wing, 
especially near anal angle, where they are sprinkled with bluish-white 
scales continuous of those which cover the long anal-angular projection ; 
hind-margin distinctly edged with rufous-ochreous. Cilia very narrow, 
dull-brown general^, but white just below projection of fore -wing. 
Under side. — Varied with ferruginous-brown and pale ochre-yellow ; a 
consincuous 2mtch of the latter in fore-iving on costal lorder heyoncl middle ; 
the submarginal lunulated stria lilac-white, suffused; the small black spots 
of discal row all white-centred except the fourth and fifth of the fore- 
wing ; a dark-brown streak curving inwardly commences sufPusedly on 
subapical projection of fore-wing and runs to anal-angular projection of 
hind-wing. 
$ Closely resembles Fore-iving : costa narrowly suffused with 
ochreous throughout, the ferruginous-rufous towards base and in disco- 
cellular strife more distinct than in $ ; third spot of discal row (as well 
as first and second) white-centred. Ilijid-ioing : third spot of discal row 
minutely white- centred. Under side. — That of one example marked 
as in ^, and with the pale-ochreous patch of fore-wing very conspicuous, 
hut with hronzy greenish-grey re^plaeing the ferruginous-hviV7i, and the 
common dark stripe very strongly marked ; while that of a second 
example is wholly ])cde-ferriiginons with violaceous and bronzy reflec- 
tions, with the common streak and the discal spots faintly marked 
in dull cream-colour. In outline of fore- wing the subapical projection 
is very long and dusted with bluish-white, while in the $ it is quite 
short and without irroration. 
In colouring and marking this species bears a very strong resem- 
blance to P. Mgiva (Hewits.), but is at once distinguishable (i) by the 
hind- wings presenting a row of simple black spots of small size on the 
upper side instead of the multicoloured ocelli, and (2) by the deep 
indentation of the ochre-yellow band of the fore-wing on its inner side. 
In outline, P. Tugela has the projections of the wings in both sexes
