$ Dull-hroum with a tinge of yellow-ochreous. Fore-iving : unicolor- 
ous, with only the faint indications of a transverse row of darker spots 
near hind-margin. Hind-wing : an ochreous tint prevails towards 
hind-margin which has an edging of thin lunules darker than ground- 
colour ; beyond middle, parallel to hind-margin, a row of five small, 
rounded, blackish spots between nervules. Ukder side. — Paler. 
Forc-iving : dull-ochreous, somewhat glistening ; on costa, a little be- 
fore middle, an obliquely transverse dark streak, inclining outwards as 
far as third median nervule ; immediately beyond streak a dusky, ill- 
defined, darker space ; apical portion j^aZt^ yellovjish-greyish, with four 
elongate black spots near the inner edge of the greyish colouring ; a 
row of seven dusky-blackish short streaks parallel to hind-margin, 
not reaching to anal angle. Hind-wing : pale yeUoivish-grey ; before 
middle a broad, irregularly-shaped, violet-grey fascia with brown 
edges ; beyond middle a row of seven contiguous ocellated spots, 
violet-grey, black-centred, in golden-brown rings ; on inner margin is 
an indistinct, smaller, eighth ocellated spot, tuitliont a black centre, a 
little he/ore the row of spots ; beyond these a thin dark streak, parallel 
to hind-margin, composed of united lunules. 
$ Fader, strongly suffused luith yellow-oclireous. Fore-iving : shaded 
with blackish in apical portion, from extremity of discoidal cell, with 
an ohlique, didl, yellow-ochreous stripe, interrupted on third median 
nervule, from costa about middle to second median nervule, not far 
from hind-margin ; nearer apex is a much shorter, narrower, paler, 
and less distinct stripe, parallel to the larger one. Hind-wing : yel- 
low-ochreous tint pervades the whole surface, but is strongest near 
hind-margin, where the row of black spots is conspicuous, and the 
brown along hind-margin forms a distinct border to the wing. Undek 
SIDE. — Fore-icing : warm yelloiu-ochrcous ; the dusky oblique markings 
from costa in this sex assume the form of two conspicuous blackish 
stripes ; colouring at apex niueh ])aler than in ^, yellowish-white^ 
varied with pale-brownish, the black spots very conspicuous. Hind- 
icing : ground-colour yellowish-white ; fascia before middle much paler 
than in J, its brown edges conspicuous ; row of contiguous ocellated 
spots much paler, their black centres very conspicuous. 
The constantly smaller size and much darker colouring distinguish 
this form from G. Natalensis, Boisd. In the $ these characters are 
very marked, but some of the larger $ examples exhibit a yellower 
tint than the ordinary ones possess. The under-side markings are 
all more strongly defined and darker than in C. Natalensis,
