SOUTII-AFEICAN BUTTEEFLIES. 
such occasions it is generally a pair that appears, the male flying round the 
female. Colonel Bowker informs me that he observed several^females ovi- 
positing in the Berea Woods, near D'Urban, on 23d November 1879 ; ^^is 
greenish eggs were deposited singly on the under side of the upper leaves of a 
herbaceous plant in the underwood. 
I have published in the Proceedings of the Entomological Society of 
London the same observer's account of his capture of a male Anacardii paired 
with the female of a Saturnide moth {Aphelia Apollinciris, Westw.) of some- 
what similar appearance.

$ Iridescent whitish, with fuscous iimrkings. Fore-wing : a well- 
defined pale bluish-grey basal cloud reaching as far as middle of 
discoidal cell ; upper disco-cellular nervule with a thin curved fuscous 
mark ; apical area widely fuscous, from costa a little beyond end of cell 
to end of second median nervule on hind-margin ; inner edge of this 
apical patch irregularly excavated ; near apex three white spots, of 
which the second (close to subapical projection) is divided by a trans- 
verse fuscous streak, and the third is indistinct; lower portion of 
hind-marginal fuscous narrowly continued to posterior angle by rather 
suffused hind-marginal and submarginal fuscous streaks ; near the 
inner of these streaks, between second median nervule and submedian 
nervure, two fuscous spots, rather large, obliquely j)laced, and slightly 
suffused. JIind-wi7ig : a basal grey suffusion, narrower and less dis- 
tinct than in fore- wing ; immediately before hind-margin a parallel 
fuscous streak, preceding which is a lunulate, suffused, fuscous streak, 
becoming irregular and less distinct in its lower portion, but with the 
outer streak enclosing six more or less ill-defined whitish marks ; a
