cell ; also a short imperfect one of three separate spots at base ; both 
before and beyond discal band some whitish scaling ; hind-marginal 
markings as in fore- wing, but lunules larger ; a small, black, greenish 
silvery-dotted spot, faintly ringed with yellow between first and second 
median nervules ; a similar very minute spot at anal angle. 
$ Grei/ish-hrown, tuith, in each wing, a very liinited space of violaceous, 
duller than in ^, extending from base only over median nervure, lower 
part of discoidal cell, bases of median nervules, and along inner-margin 
to about or beyond middle. Hind- wing : traces of a hind-marginal 
row of fuscous spots edged inwardly with bluish-white lunules, of which 
the two next anal angle are usually tolerably distinct. Under side. — 
As in J. 
In this species the neuration of the under side is pale and distinct, espe- 
cially in the hind-wing. 
The wings of this very distinct Lyccena are rather elongate, but the apical 
part of the fore-wings is less prominent and the apex itself much blunter than 
in Sichela or Bcetica. I have not met with any close ally, but think the best 
position for it is next to Sicliela, Wallengr. 
This butterfly appears to belong to the dry upland districts of the interior. 
The first specimens I received were taken in 1864-5, near Murraysburg, Cape 
Colony, by Mr. J. J. Muskett, and examples have since been taken in other 
parts of the north-eastern districts, in Griqualand West, the Orange Free 
State, the Transvaal, and Bechuanaland. In 1872, during the month of Sep- 
tember, I had the pleasure of capturing a good many specimens in Griqualand 
West ; I found them usually about a tall shrubby lilac-flowered strongly- 
scented Salvia, common in that territory. Their flight was short and feeble, 
and they were very easily netted.
