SOUTH-AFRICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
basal stripe before anal angle ; (4) a row of small black spots (six in 
eacli wing) a little before liind-margin ; and (5) a rather wide, orange- 
oclireous, liind-marginal edging, becoming obsolete at end of second 
median nervule. Fore-wing : beyond middle, an additional stripe from 
costa extending in the direction of anal angle, but becoming obsolete 
just beyond first median nervule. Hind-wing : at anal angle a black 
spot, from which runs a narrow black streak for a little way along 
inner margin. 
$ Hind-icing and outer portion of fore-wing wJiite ; in both wings, 
basal region to a little beyond middle clouded with pale-blue, and 
nervules clouded with blue and blackish mixed. Fore-iving : a rather 
strongly-marked fuscous streak closing cell. Hind-wing : a broad 
blackish streak corresponding to third transverse stripe of under side ; 
a sub-marginal row of spots corresponding to those of under side, but 
smaller. Under side. — Quite as in J. 
The forehead is orange-red in both sexes. 
Described from a single specimen of each sex, taken on a small 
tree at the edge of scattered bush about the base of Woest Hill, near 
Grahamstown, by Mr. James, in October or November. Both examples 
are considerably worn. 
It is very singular that so few examples of this very distinct lolaus 
should have been recorded, and those few from two such very widely distant 
localities as Grahamstown and Lake Nyassa. I much fear that the typical 
examples, of which I made a description in 1870, must have been lost, as 
they could not be traced in the Grahamstown Museum when I w^as last 
there in 1883. It is thus very fortunate that two specimens exist in the 
Hewitson Collection, and that Mr. Llewitson published figures of the female.
