SOUTH-AFKICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
tving ; cilia as in L. fatricia. Fore-wing : terminal disco-cellular fus- 
cous lunule usually wider and more distinct than in Patricia; costa 
narrowly edged with brownish-fuscous ; nervules near apical and hind- 
marginal border defined with fuscous. Hind-iuing : costa bordered 
with very pale fuscous-brownish above first subcostal nervule ; a faint 
hind-marginal mark of the same colour between first and second sub- 
costal nervules ; orange lunule inwardly bordering hind-marginal black 
spot between first and second median nervules broader than in Patri- 
cia, and slightly suff'used ; tail at extremity of first median nervule 
longer and more slender. Under side. — Quite as in Patricia, except 
for the following slight differences : — Fore-wing : usually an additional 
small spot at commencement of discal row, between second and third 
subcostal nervules ; terminal disco-cellular marking narrower and much 
more acutely angulated outwardly. Hind-wing : terminal disco-cel- 
lular marking narrower, the white edging of its outw^ard angulation 
centrally prolonged as far as inner edge of discal macular row ; the 
second spot of this row, between the subcostal nervules, narrower and 
more elongate, and placed more obliquely. 
$ Pattern and markings agreeing with those of ^ Parsinion and $ 
Patricia, hut the colour of ivicle suff'asion from hases over discs very 
different, heing of a jpale silvery-greenish scarcely tinged luith blue. Fore- 
wing : terminal disco-cellular spot very conspicuous, broader than in the 
species named, and relieved on each side by a whitish edging ; outer 
series of submarginal liinules (mesially traversing hind-marginal dark 
border) less indistinct, and slightly (in one example deeply) tinged 
with ochre-yellow. Hind-iving : angulated terminal disco-cellular striola 
very slender, more distinct in its upper portion ; usually two or three 
minute fuscous discal spots ; both rows of submarginal white lunules 
well marked, the inner one more so than in the two species named ; 
orange-yellow lunules near anal angle largely developed (more so than 
in Parsimon) ; in one specimen a third orange lunule between second 
and third median nervules. Under side. — As in except that the 
terminal disco-cellular marking in each wing is broader and usually 
much less angulated. 
This remarkably-coloured form was first communicated to me by Mr. 
Chr. Aurivillius in 1881, as one of the typical examples of Wallengren's 
Asteris in the Stockholm Museum ; and I shortly after noted ati other ^ and 
a 9 in ^ collection from Kinsembo (Congoland), in the possession of Mr. 
Doncaster. I have subsequently received a series of both sexes from Mr. 
F. C. Selous, who took them in the North-West Transvaal in February and 
March 1882. There is little but the peculiar silvery hue of the upper side 
to separate this form from L. patricia : but this feature is so pronounced in 
both sexes that I am of opinion it justifies keeping L. glauca distinct.
