SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
in which the enlarged markings are massed into a median and a subapical 
band, instead of being scattered and separated. 
This very striking species, first known from East Africa between 3° and 4° 
S. of the Equator, was found at Delagoa Bay by the late Mr. J. J. Monteiro, 
but does not seem to extend farther southward. Mrs. Monteiro informs me 
that she has noticed several specimens of JVakefieldii sporting together and 
" tumbling over each other," at a height of about six feet from the ground. She 
found the insect Avary, letting one approach pretty near, and then going 
straight towards the nearest cover with an irregular but not swift flight. It 
was attracted like the Noduce to "sugar." An example of the ^ from Delagoa 
Bay was presented to the South- African Museum in 1882 by Mrs. Thompson, 
through the good offices of Colonel Bowker. It is almost exactly like Ober- 
thiir's figure, above cited, of a Zanzibar example, and has the central band of 
the fore-wings considerably narrower and more macular than in a figure of the 
typical $ which accompanies that of the 9 in the plate for Ward's African 
Butterflies, above mentioned as communicated to me by Mr. Butler. 
While the of this Goclartia, like G. Eurinome and its near allies, but in 
a less degree, is imitative of the variety of Danais Limniace (Cram.), from 
Western Africa, named Petiverana by Doubleday (1847), and Leonora by 
Butler (1866), the $ most decidedly mimicks an Amaiiris of the Niavius form, 
being most like the Malagasy A. Nossima, Ward, but also very similar to A. 
domi7iicanus, Trim. The outline of wings in the ^ (as in others of the genus) 
is not at all Danaine, but in the $ the apical production of the fore-wings 
makes it decidedly so, and quite approximates it in aspect to the species of 
£uraUa which mimic the same group of Amauris.

Imago. — Head broad, shortly downy ; eyes smooth, very prominent ; 
palpi short, compressed, ascendant, convergent, not rising above summit 
of head, densely clothed with scales and appressed short hairs, — basal 
joint tufted with longer hairs beneath, — second joint superiorly with 
a tuft of hair near extremity, — terminal joint very short and small, 
almost hidden by terminal hairs of second joint ; antennm very long, 
slender, with a gradually-formed, very elongate, only slightly flattened 
club, rather blunt at tip. 
Thorax very (in some species extremely) thick and rather long,
