is readily distinguished from it by the three small but distinct ocelli near I 
the base of the hind-wings, which are entirely wanting in the Indian species ; | 
the 9 , too, is much bluer above, and wants in the fore-wings the ochre- 
yellow spot immediately beyond the discoidal cell, and in the hind-wings the 
ochre-yellow lunule edging the upper hind-marginal black spot, which are i 
conspicuous features of the $ Isocmfes. 
I met with this species rather sparingly on the Natal coast in February ! 
1867, and again near Grahamstown in January and February 1870. It | 
frequents wooded spots, and often settles on shrubs and low trees ; near 
Grahamstown I found it partial to the blossoms of Acacia Iwrrida. Colonel 
Bowker took it during March and April in Kaffraria, and in July and August 
in Natal. Both sexes are active and rapid on the wing, but the male especi- 
ally so. A fine female that I took near D' Urban had just before been 
pounced upon by a predaceous fly of the Asilus group.
