or less confluent with the discal ground-colour ; hind-iving with an addi- 
tional {shorter) tail on third median nervide. Under side as in but 
less silvery. 
This delicately-coloured species frequents woods, and the few examples I 
noticed in Natal remained among the higher branches of trees, on which they 
frequently settled. Colonel Bowker, who met with the butterfly in Katfraria 
Proper, noted that the $ was commoner than the $ , and more easily captured, 
frequenting a yellow-flowered thistle near the banks of the Bashee Eiver. The 
$ was also often to be taken flying up and down a valley among scattered trees 
or bushes, and at sucli^times looked very like some of the commoner Pieridoe, 
ZooUna^s season of appearance was the autumn, and Colonel Bowker did not 
notice it after the beginning of April.

$ Fidvotis-ochreons, with ill-defined ferruginous Iroivn hind-marginal 
"borders, the inner edge of which is expressed by a curved irregular 
series of small fuscous spots (lunulate and linear in hind-wing). Fore- 
wing : a narrow ferruginous-brown short transverse streak closing dis- 
coidal cell ; apical and hind-marginal border beginning not far from 
end of cell, and enclosing an indistinct costal marking composed of two 
good-sized spots of the ground-colour, and a curved submarginal row 
of six still more indistinct similar spots, incompletely separated from 
the ground-colour of the disc by the series of fuscous spots above 
mentioned. Hind-iving : hind-marginal border very indistinct, contain- 
ing traces of a median series of ground-colour spots, preceded and fol- 
lowed by a streak of the same hue ; of these streaks the inner is wider 
and immediately preceded by the series of small fuscous lunulate spots, 
which is more irregular than in fore-wing ; at anal angle an indistinct 
fuscous, blue-dusted lunulate mark, outwardly bounded by a greenish- 
yellow edging ; tail (at end of first median nervule) ferruginous-brown. 
Under side. — Duller, more or less closely irr orated with ferruginous- 
hrown ; discal series of spots represented by very small inconspicuous
