Although C. Saturnus is so very near an ally of C. Pelias (Cram.) that I 
did not think it separable up to 1866, it may be always recognised by its 
larger size and longer wings, as well as by the very much enlarged and 
acuminate ferruginous discal marks on the under side of the hind-wings. In 
my description are mentioned several other points of difference which appear 
to be constant. 
This species seems to have a much wider range than C. Pelias, being 
recorded from as far north as Chinchoxo on the West Coast, and the Zambesi 
on the East Coast, while in the interior a specimen has occurred at the Victoria 
Nyanza {Ann. and Mag. Nat. Hist., xii. p. 10 1, August 1883). In Damara- 
land, where Mr. J. A. Bell found it rather abundant, the butterfly was 
commonly found on the droppings of the larger animals. In Natal it would 
appear to be rare. Colonel Bowker having sent me only an example (belong- 
ing to Mr. B. Ayres), which was taken on an orange-tree at Pinetown, and 
another ^ captured at the same place in April 1883.

which commences not far from apex, distinctly separate from each 
other, — the remainder confluent as far as inner margin, where the 
band is widest ; along hind-margin, between nervules, a row of small

across this wing, as a broad, continuous, median band, as far as sub- 
median nervure ; along hind-marginal edge, a row of narrow bluish, or
