spots ; only two minute costal spots, upper part of terminal disco- 
cellular spot, first and second spots of discal row, and upper three spots 
of submarginal row filled with metallic-golden scales. Hind-wing : 
the following slender dark-ferruginous markings interiorly rather con- 
spicuously edged with subdued-silvery, viz., a spot near costa before 
middle, a terminal disco-cellular striola, and a spot and two separate 
striolse representing and following the course of the disjointed discal 
row of spots on the upper side ; a very indistinct submarginal greyish 
suffused streak, and a very indistinct small ferruginous spot in dis- 
coidal cell. Cilia grey, with nervular blackish interruptions. 
$ Less metallic than ^. Fore-icing : last spot of discal row larger ; 
a minute spot just above and slightly beyond terminal disco-cellular 
spot, and another just below origin of first median nervule. Hind- 
wing : spots of discal row larger, especially the sixth, — the fifth spot 
present. Under side. — As in ^, but all the markings more distinct. 
Hind-wing : the two discal striolse almost united on first median 
nervule. 
This close ally of Z. Clirysaor, Trim., is further distinguished by its larger 
size, and by the different outline of its fore-wings, which in the $ are not 
produced apically, and in the $ are not nearly so convex hind-marginally. 
My description is made from a single example of each sex, acquired by the 
South- African Museum in 1879 from J\lr. T. Ayres, who noted them as having 
been captured in the Lydenburg District of the Transvaal. I have not met 
with any other specimens.

$ Pale-orange, scarcely suh-metallic^ with hlach discal spots and 
narroiu hind-marginal border; cilia hroad, blackish, interrupted co7i- 
spicuously with white betiueen nervides. Fore-iui7ig : a terminal well- 
marked disco-cellular black lunulate spot ; an irregular discal row of 
five small spots (of which the third and fifth are beyond the line of the 
other three) extending from close to costa as far as first median nervule ; 
base narrowly greyish ; hind-marginal border broadest at apex, narrow- 
ing to posterior angle, its inner edge dentated with ground-colour on 
median nervules ; a rounded whitish spot at apex, touching white cilia ; 
on costal edge, beyond middle, three very short sub-oblique white lines, 
separated by black. Hind-iving : base very narrowly greyish ; in one 
specimen without any spots, in the other with a minute terminal disco- 
cellular one, and a discal row of three spots (of which first and third 
are minute) between second subcostal and first median nervules ; hind-
