On the upper side of the fore-wing Boisduvali in both sexes wants 
altogether (or occasionally presents a slight trace of) the large isolated 
black spot of the discal row which lies between the first median nervule 
and the submedian nervure. 
This species is abundant at Port Natal, where I met with it in June and 
August 1865, and again from January to April 1867. A tree in the Botanic 
Gardens near D' Urban was shown to me by the superintendent, a great number 
of the leaves of which was white with the empty pupa-skins, and I found one 
pupa from which the imago was on the point of emerging. This pupa was 
slender and subangulated, but, as the imago was completely developed, I could 
not record the proper colour or marking. 
C. Boisduvali appears to range farther southward than C. Natalemis, a female 
specimen having been sent to the South-African Museum which was taken by Mr. 
Alexander Bowker at Pembroke, near King William's Town, in March 1873. 
Colonel Bowker has twice sent me the paired sexes ; they were taken in 
August 1878 and March 1879. ^ ^^^^ previously taken a pair at D'Urban, 
Natal, in April 1867.

$ Bull ochreous-hroum ; the fore-wing with a darker space and some 
pale didl yellovj-ochreous marks. Fore-wing : a fuscous-brown space 
near costa, about and beyond middle, forming an ill-defined cloud, 
commencing immediately beyond extremity of discoidal cell ; this cloud 
encloses a yellow-ochreous spot a little beyond cell, and is bounded 
externally towards apex by an elongate paler spot close to costa, and 
between third and second median nervules by a smaller similar spot 
ill-defined outwardly; towards hind-margin the ground colour is paler 
and very faintly tinged with yellow-ochreous (except near apex) ; a 
submarginal row of very indistinct inter-nervular small fuscous-brown 
spots. Hind-wing : very faintly tinged with yellow-ochreous about 
apex, near which are two faint fuscous-brown dots. Under side. — 
Hind-iving and apical area of fore-wing crcam-coloiir^ inclining to 
argillaceous. Fore-iving : yellow-ochreous, becoming much paler beyond 
middle ; fuscous-brown cloud very conspicuous, and the ochreous spot 
it encloses larger and better defined than on upper side ; the two outer 
spots, on the contrary, much less distinct, and quite merged in the 
ground-colour; costa from base narrowly bordered with dull cream-
