wing. In outline tlie projections of both wings are imicli shorter and 
blunter, especially in the male. 
In several of the characters notecl, S. ncbulosa approaches the Mada- 
gascarene S. Duprwi^ Vinson, but it altogether wants the long anal- 
angular tail of the hind-wing so conspicuous in that species, and has 
much larger dark markings in the hind- wing ; while the blunt sub- 
apical projection of the fore-wing is totally different from the long 
process so conspicuous in S. Duprcci} 
Three specimens of this butterfly — a male and two females — were taken 
near St. Lucia Bay, in Zululand, by the late Colonel H. Tower in the year 
1867, and presented to me by him in the following year. It was not until 
1878 that I saw another example, Colonel J. H. Bowker having, in November 
of that year, forwarded to the South-African Museum a female found by him 
in a collection of insects made at D'Urban, Natal, by a resident there. 
Colonel Bowker has recently sent me a male captured by himself in the neigh- 
bourhood of D'Urban. 
Mrs. Monteiro's collection contains a fine female taken at Dclagoa Bay ; 
and there are three specimens in Mr. Henley Grose Smith's collection, which 
were sent, I believe, from some part of Tropical Eastern Africa. 
Three examples which I have seen from the Gold Coast, one of which is 
in the collection of the South-African Museum, differ slightly from those above- 
mentioned in having the black markings of the upper side less developed, 
although much more so than in Anacardii.

size (especially of the 6 ), it makes tome ajiproach to S. nelulosa.
