SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
ochreous spots. Fore-iving : ferruginous extends costally to beyond 
middle, occupying discoidal cell, and inner-marginally as far as inner 
edge of discal band ; a fuscous mark at extremity of cell, — another 
(smaller) in cell towards extremity, — and a third, very indistinct and 
sm.all, in cell not far from base ; discal band broad, its inner edge 
indented on nervules, — very deeply so on second radial, its outer edge 
regularly serrated by deep nervular indentations ; outer portion of band 
traversed by a series of six contiguous sub-lunulate black spots from 
close to costa as far as first median nervule, — a seventh separate minute 
spot below the nervule ; spots on hind-margin eight, very distinct, well 
separated, the lowest geminate. Hind-iuing : discal band narrowing 
on median nervules and becoming obsolete on the first ; hind-marginal 
spots seven, a little before hind-margin itself (which is black-edged), 
lunulate (especially the three lowest, which are more or less sufi*used 
with white), the last tinged with greenish ; inner-marginal area grey, 
with a whitish mark just before anal angle, indicating end of discal 
band ; between third median nervule and submedian nervure a sub- 
marginal row of three small bluish spots, the lowest lunulate ; tails 
short, narrow, black, that on third median nervule a good deal shorter 
than the other, and straight, the other slightly curved upward ; cilia 
white. Under side. — Basal area dark-ferruginous, closely marked with 
shining-grey, fuscous-edged, whitc-hordered spots and strice ; discal hand 
white, shi7iing ; outer area shining pale-grey. Fore-wing: a shining 
white streak from base between costa and costal nervure ; in discoidal 
cell a small basal, a larger oval, and an elongate outer marking, the 
latter irregularly prolonged below cell as far as first median nervule ; 
at extremity of cell a similar but shorter marking ; bounding inner 
edge of band a very irregular macular stria of the same colours, ending 
in a basal inner-marginal grey space above submedian nervure ; series 
of fuscous spots traversing band conspicuous against the white, the 
serrated outer portion of the band beyond them of a paler brighter 
yellow than on upper side, and more macular, and immediately followed 
by a series of fuscous spots, all faint and very small except the lowest, 
which is large and geminate ; hind-marginal spots much less distinct 
and of a paler brighter yellow than on upper side. Hind-wing : a 
curved elongate oblique mark on costa at base, and just beyond it a 
very strongly recurved mark, interrupted on costal, but extending to 
subcostal nervure ; white discal band inwardly bounded by a long sub- 
macular stria, interrupted, and emitting a short separate outward-curv- 
ing thin spot just below first median nervule on the white ; in discoidal 
cell commence two long stri^, which thence run longitudinally above 
submedian nervure, and of which the inferior joins two similar strige 
from near base along inner margin at their extremities, at the end of 
streak bounding white discal band ; the band itself extends quite to 
inner-marginal edge, and is there widened ; it is marked with a fuscous 
lunule externally just below radial nervule, and outwardly bounded by
