Colony, where, however, the very closely allied L. Barherce, mihi, is known to 
extend as far as Natal ; but its existence at Delagoa Bay probably points to 
its inhabiting the intervening territory.

Closely allied to L, Metopliis, Wallengr. $ and Dark-hrown ; 
cilia broad, white, interrupted with hroivn — in fore-wing hroadly, in 
hind-winy narrowly — at ends of nervides ; hind-wing tailless. Hind- 
%oing : a very indistinct hind-marginal row of small blackish spots. 
Under side. — Broiunish-grey (the hind-wing finely speckled with whit- 
ish) ; in loth ivings, terminal disco-celhdar and disced incomplete luhite 
annulets filled with brownish rather darker than ground-colour. Fore- 
wing : discal series of annulets arranged much as in Metophis, but 
commencing with a small additional (costal) one, — the lowest annulet 
rather beyond disco-cellular terminal one ; two submarginal rows of 
white lunules rather farther apart than in Meto]jhis, and lunules of 
inner row more sagittiform ; space between two rows rather darker 
than rest of ground-colour. Hind-iuing : sub-basal series of four annu- 
lets arranged as in Metophis, but filled with brownish darker than 
ground-colour ; terminal disco-cellular annulet nearer base, and quite 
separate from discal row ; the latter is much wider, more even, and 
continuous, forming more of a bar or narrow fascia, interrupted on 
second subcostal nervule ; hind-marginal series of four golden-cres- 
cented black spots and other markings as in Metophis, except that the 
conspicuous whitish spot immediately preceding the second hind-mar- 
ginal marking is wanting. 
The sexes do not differ except in size. 
Besides the various differences specified above, Barherce has con-
