subcostal nervule or below submedian nervure ; this patcb is divided 
very unequally into six by the crossing black nervures, the cellular 
portion being very much the largest, and the portion at furcation of 
third and second median nervules very much the smallest ; a discal row 
of eight conspicuous rounded spots, of which the first is largest, and the 
seventh and eighth (close together) are the smallest ; close to hind- 
margin, a row of eight minute inter-nervular spots ; just preceding them, 
in lower part of wing, a closer series of similar spots arranged in pairs 
between nervules. Under side. — Hind-iviiig ^ and costal, apical^ and 
hind-marginal horder of fore-wing warm ochreous-hrown ; markings of 
upper side reproduced, but those of fore- wing greenish-white and those 
of hind-wing pure-white. Fore-wing : a very small white spot on costa 
at base ; another, close to the first, at origin of median nervure ; a 
rather larger one on costa near base ; and a similar one in discoidal 
cell a little beyond the third. Hind-iving : three small white spots at 
and near base, — one at base marking common origin of nervures, 
another just above costal nervure, and another on precostal nervure ; 
a fourth larger white spot on costa a little farther from base ; sub-basal 
patch produced inferiorly to inner margin ; a ninth small spot in discal 
row near inner margin ; eight minute spots along hind- margin edged 
with fuscous ; inner series of minute spots completed as far as costa. 
Head, palpi, collar, breast, and legs black spotted with white ; 
abdomen ochreous-yellow, fuscous superiorly at end near its base. 
I have not seen the 9 ^ of this species, but, through the kindness of Mr. A. 
G. Eutler, of the British Museum, possess a lithographic figure of it in the proof 
of a plate intended for a third part of Ward's African Butter fies. From this 
carefully drawn figure of the upper side, it is evident that the $ diff'ers much 
from the ^ , wearing more the aspect of the genus Euralia. The fore-wings 
are lengthened and produced apically {exp. at., 3 in. 8 lin.), and the median 
band is enlarged by the increased size and complete union of the cellular and 
the four larger divisions, while the subapical bar is similarly much enlarged ; 
there are further a small spot superiorly just preceding subapical bar, and one 
in discoidal cell near base. The hind- wings have the patch very much enlarged 
outwardly, and extending very broadly quite to inner-marginal edge ; the sub- 
marginal row of very small white spots in pairs complete, as on the under side 
of the $ . 
G. WaJcefeldn, as far as the is concerned, seems more closely allied to 
the West- African type of the genus, G. Eurinoim^ Cramer, than to any other 
known Godartia. The ^ is distinguished from that sex of Eurinome by its 
deeper-green markings, and by their greater development in the fore-wing, the 
component spots of both the median and subapical bands constituting a toler- 
ably even and continuous bar, instead of being widely separated and irregularly 
placed. The $ WakefipMii differs greatly from the 9 Eurinome in the fore- 
wing, which is produced apically, instead of being of the ordinary form ; and 
^ The South- African Museum has since acquired a ? example taken at Delagoa Bay by 
Mrs. Monteiro. On the upper side it nearly resembles the figure described in the text, but 
in the fore-wing has the median band (which is pure white) wider in the lower portion, and 
wants a small white spot in the discoidal cell near the base. On the under side the white 
markings are like those of the upper side, the basal white spots are similar to those in the <5 , 
and the brown of the margins is of a much duller, less ochreous, brown.
