NYMPHALINiE. 
grey ratlier narrow, bounded inwardly by a large conspicuous but ill- 
defined subquadrate fuscous patch ; the subapical spots of discal row in 
the middle of very indistinct brownish-ochreous rings. Hincl-unn(j : 
before middle an irregular, broken, transverse ochre-yellow streak; 
about mxiddle a similar but more continuous streak ; both these streaks 
include an outer thin line of brown, and the space between them is 
sometimes duller grey than the rest of the wing ; a short streak of the 
same colouring at extremity of discoidal cell ; seven spots of discal row 
well marked, in the middle of seven contiguous ochre-yellow rings ; a 
smaller, additional, similar, rather indistinct spot before the seventh 
on inner-margin. 
$ Ground-colour yclloLoa\ clearer ; cqnccd fuscous of fore-wing much 
broader and darker, and enclosing two cons]jicuous, 2^arcdlel, oUiejue, 
macidar rays of a faler ochrc-yelloio them the ground-colour. Hind- 
luing : discal spots rather larger than in ^. Under side. — Hind-wing 
and apex of fore-wing 'paler than in ^, all the markings hetter defined. 
Fore-wing : ground-colour deeper; subapical fuscous patch enlarged to 
imperfectly enclose an interrupted oblique ray corresponding to that on 
upper side. 
Compared with its very close ally, G. 3Iadagascarie?isis, Boisd., this 
butterfly is in both sexes characterised by a more rufous instead of 
olivaceous upper-side tint of ochreous, and by the much less develop- 
ment of the apical fuscous in the fore-wings, especially in the ^, where 
it is little more than a dusky sujffusion without defined limits. The 
under side hoary-grey is inclining to a lilacine tinge, and almost free 
from the fine fuscous irroration noticeable in Madagascaricnsis, while 
the rings of the ocellate spots and the basal and median streaks in the 
hind-wing are ochre-yellow (the latter brown- edged) instead of fuscous. 
All the three transverse streaks of the hind-wing are also less irregular 
and dentated. 
This butterfly is not uncommon at D'Urban, in Natal, though apparently 
much less numerous than its near congener, C. Boisduvali, Wallengren, with 
which I associated it in my lihojjalocera Africa} Australis, taking the few 
true C. Naialensls I had seen as only larger and paler examples of the same 
species. Both forms have quite the same habits, flitting about trees in wooded 
spots, and frequently settling on the trunk or branches. The specimens I cap- 
tured were on the wing in February, but Colonel Bowker took a good many in 
August.
