Tins species was discovered Ly Colonel Bowker near the River Tsomo in 
December 1864. In that month and in the following January he captured a 
good many specimens, but only in two spots, " flitting about stunted bushes 
growing between rocks upon a lofty hill ridge." No other examples have 
come under my notice.

^ (?). Bright suh-metallic orangc-rcd, hind-marginaUy edged with 
black ; fore-iving only with black spots. Forc-wing : an elongate, sub- 
ovate spot at extremity of discoidal cell ; an indistinct smaller spot 
below cell, close to origin of first median nervule ; beyond middle a 
row of six spots, of which the first three (between costa and third 
median nervule) are farther from the base than the other three (be- 
tween third median nervule and submedian nervure) ; costa narrowly 
edged with blackish, widening at apex ; hind -marginal edging narrow, 
with slight projections between the nervules. Hind-wing : no spots or 
other markings, except the hind-marginal edging, which emits promi- 
nent inter-nervular projections. Cilia long, dull brownish-grey, very 
slightly mixed with whitish. Under side. — Hind-iving and basal, 
costcd and apical border of fore-iving^ pale greyish-ochreous. Forc-wing : 
besides markings of upper side (of which the spot below cell is con- 
spicuous), there are two cellular spots, of which that nearer base is 
minute ; two costal dots above and beyond the spot closing cell ; and 
a submarginal row of four small sub-lunulate spots between lower 
radial nervule and submedian nervure (traces of two spots commencing 
this row are just visible in the apical ochreous). Hind-wing : five 
small indistinct round brown spots in basal region, viz., two close to 
costa (one near base, the other about middle), one in discoidal cell, one 
(elongate) closing cell, and one between first median nervule and sub- 
median nervure ; a little beyond middle, a transverse, irregular, sub- 
macular brown streak, not parallel to hind-margin, extending from near 
apex to submedian nervure ; a submarginal, very indistinct, deeply- 
festooned, brownish streak, touching the submacular streak on sub- 
costal nervules. 
This little Zeritis is in character intermediate between Z. Chrysaor, 
Trim., and Z. Lyncurium, Trim. From the former it is separable 
by its smaller size, less metallic upper side, different arrangement of 
the discal row of spots in the fore-wings, and toted want of spots in
