SJDE. — Grey-white, clouded near the base of both wings with pale 
rufous-brown ; both with a linear band at the end of the cell. Ante- 
rior wing with a lunular spot within the cell, a linear zigzag band 
a little beyond the middle (bordered inwardly with rufous-brown), a 
sub-marginal indistinct linear band, and the outer margin all carmine. 
Posterior wing crossed near the base by a curved broken band of five 
lunular spots, and by a very angular, linear, broken band, all carmine ; 
a sub-marginal band indistinct and carmine from the costal margin to 
the middle, black above the anal spots ; the spots black bordered above 
with orange, below with pale blue ; the outer margin carmine ; the 
apex pale rufous brown." — Hewitson, loc. cit. 
$ Pale-blue over discal inner-marginal area of both wings. 
Hind-wing : three fuscous spots near anal angle ; hind-margin with 
a black bounding line edged with whitish on each side ; both tails 
orange at base, the upper (shorter) one orange throughout except its 
black and white tip. Under side. — Redder than in $ (judging from 
Hewitson's figure), especially the strige themselves ; hind-margin in 
both wings much clouded with brownish. 
I have not seen the male of this species, which was described and figured 
by Hewitson from a Zululand example in the collection of Boisduval. The 
female above noted is in the Hewitson Collection at the British Museum, 
and came from Delagoa Bay ; it was in very poor condition when I examined 
it in 1881.

$ Glossy pale-blue^ luith fuscous-grey horclers. Fore-ioivg : costa from 
base rather widely bordered with pale-grey, diminishing to a point about 
middle ; extreme costal margin very narrowly edged with ochreous ; 
apical border very broad, commencing just at extremity of discoidal 
cell, but somewhat abruptly narrowing on second median nervule, whence 
the hind-marginal border to anal angle is not wide ; sexual tuft on inner 
margin thin, dark-grey ; inner margin rather prominently lobed in basal 
half, nincl-wing : costal and apical margin narrowly, hind-margin very 
narrowly edged with fuscous-grey ; two usual hind-marginal spots black, 
that on anal angular lobe superiorly edged with greenish-silvery, and 
partly encircled with dull white ; between the two spots a third lunu- 
late one, immediately preceded by a whitish mark, which is itself pre- 
ceded by a faint fuscous one ; inner margin rather widely pale-grey.
