SOUTH-AFRICAX BUTTERFLIES. 
transverse, irregular streak, interrupted on nervules, beyond middle, — 
a submarginal lunulate streak, — a very indistinct row of dusky spots 
just beyond this, — and a line just witkin kind-marginal edge ; in each 
wing a double disco-cellular striola, with two costal spots above it. 
Fore-wing : ocellus at anal angle conspicuous, bounded internally by 
last lunule of submarginal streak. Hind-wing : spot on lobe and that 
between second and third median nervules black, inwardly edged by a 
faint-yellow lunule, — the space between the two spots fuscous ; streak 
beyond middle strongly recurved below first median nervule, and 
widely interrupted on submedian nervure. 
In the the hind-marginal and submarginal white markings are 
more distinct on the upper side ; and there is usually an additional, 
imperfect, smaller, white-ringed spot, immediately above that at the 
posterior angle of the fore-wing on the upper side. 
This curious little species comes nearest to H. Babe (Boisd.),-^ of 
Madagascar, but is smaller, and has a much darker upper side (that of 
Robe being all pale- grey except near bases, and a broad costal, apical, 
and hind-marginal fuscous border of the fore-wing), while the under- 
side strige on disc are much more regular, and in their colour and 
arrangement more resemble those of H. Philippus (Fab.) The fore- 
wing ocellus and single long white tail of the hind- wings give it a 
very peculiar aspect. 
I only once met with H. Mnmdo, and then with a single individual only. 
I was collecting on 2 2d February 1870 in the dense prickly scrub at the 
back of the village of Uitenhage, and noticed this butterfly flutter from a low 
bush and settle on the ground. Mr. W. S. M. D'Urban found the species 
abundant in the King William's Town district in the months of March, 
June, and October.
