SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
first median nervule somewliat longer and slightly curved upward; 
cilia white. Under side. — Ferruginous ; the common discal hand, and 
a narroiv transverse hand hefore middle of hind-iving, hright-silvery, 
Forc-iuing : from base to middle a silvery streak between costa and 
costal nervule ; three greenish-fuscous, on both sides silvery-edged, 
transverse marks in discoidal cell, the third prolonged below cell to first 
median nervule ; a similar marking at extremity of cell ; faint greenish- 
black traces in bifurcations of silvery band, and three spots of the same 
colour (the lowest much enlarged and centred with whitish) along 
inner edge of band ; a submarginal series of seven fuscous, outwardly 
dull-silvery-edged, lunalate spots, of which the two lowest are greatly 
enlarged. Hind-wing : silvery discal band broad on costa (where it is 
marked with a small ferruginous spot), and extending to inner margin 
(where it is very narrow) ; along inner edge of band, from second sub- 
costal nervule downward, an interrupted irregular greenish-fuscous 
streak ; narrow silvery band before middle unmarked above discoidal 
cell, but there containing a greenish-fuscous middle streak, and thence 
(much narrower) deflected longitudinally to a point below first median 
nervule beyond middle, where it is joined by a similar fuscous-marked 
narrow stripe crossing discoidal cell near extremity ; the inner- 
marginal area marked by three longitudinal similar stripes from near 
base, uniting at their extremities, and the first and second of them 
meeting end of discal band a little before anal angle ; a submarginal 
row of fuscous lunules, dull-silvery-edged on both sides, preceded by a 
similar more irregular series, only silvery- edged externally ; near anal 
angle the two series approximate, and form two black-ringed ocellate 
markings, irrorated with greenish and bluish, and centred with silvery ; 
on costa, close to base, a narrow, oblique, silvery- ringed greenish-fus- 
cous marking. 
$ Paler, especially the common discal hand, which is very pale 
ochre-yellow inclining to cream-colour, edged narrowly with ferruginous. 
Under side. — As in but the silvery of the submarginal markings 
much enlarged. 
C. Druceanus is allied to both C. Eudoxus (Drury) and C. Cynthia, 
Butler ; on the upper side more resembling the latter, and on the under 
side the former. Its under side, on the whole, however, is closer to that 
of C. Brutus (Cram.) It differs from Cynthia on the upper side (in fore- 
wing) in the width, continuity, and inferior confluence with the discal 
band of the two short costal fascise ; in the discal band commencing 
close to costal margin ; in the better marked and more separated hind- 
marginal spots ; and in possessing a quadrate black spot in discoidal 
cell not far from the extremity ; while (in hind-wing) the hind-marginal 
border is narrower and more distinctly lunulate, and outwardly bounded 
throughout by a well-marked black edging. From Eudoxus it differs 
on the iipper side in having the discal band not nearly so sharply 
defined and not dentated on the nervures, especially as regards the
