amples ending just above first median nervule, where it is slightly 
curved inward, — in the third with a faint geminate additional spot 
below first median nervule ; submarginal lunulate row macular, very 
indistinct. Hind-iving : three sniall, faintly whitish-ringed spots in 
sub-basal row, of which the first and third are black, the second (in 
discoidal cell) more or less tinged with ochrey-yellow ; in discal row 
second spot quite separate from first and third, — largest spots are 
third and fourth, — seventh spot nearer hind-margin than sixth or 
eighth; submarginal lunulate row more distinct than in fore-wing, 
with more or less apparent traces of two rows of whitish thin lunules 
immediately preceding and following it respectively ; hind-marginal 
spot as on upper side, but very much smaller, and with the yellow 
lunule very thin and indistinct ; a second similar but very imperfect 
spot at anal angle. 
Of this fine Lycoena, remarkable by the dull- violaceous of its upper side 
and the hoary-grey of its under side, I have seen only three examples, viz., 
two taken by Mr. W. Morant on 21st September 1870, in the north-west of 
Natal, and another captured subsequently in the Transvaal by Mr. T. Ayres. 
The $ is still unknown to me. There is no very near congener that I am 
aware of ; but the species most resembling Hypopolia are L. Niohe and L. 
Tantalus, Trim., both smaller, and on the under side darker forms.

J Bull violaceous-blue; costa and hind-margin narrowly hordered 
with greyish-hroiun in hoth wings. Hind-iving : on hind-margin, 
between third median nervule and anal angle, from one to four 
bright-orange lunules, the largest between second and first median 
nervules, and with a round black spot touching its outer edge ; no 
tail. Cilia whitish-grey. Under side. — Whitish grey; ocelliform 
spots blackish or black, white-ringed ; in hoth wings a white-edged, 
blackish streak closing cell ; a sinuate row of conspicuous ocelli 
beyond middle (those in hind- wing smaller and fainter than those in 
fore-wing) ; a submarginal row of ill-defined, fuscous, whitish-bordered
