SOUTH-AFEICAN BUTTERFLIES. 
vules. Fore-iving : fuscous border very broad in apical region, occupy- 
ing outer half of costa, and emitting a short ray towards base along 
subcostal nervure ; on third median nervule the border abruptly nar- 
rows, thence forming a rather wide and tolerably even band to anal 
angle ; base slightly clouded with fuscous. Hind-iving : border similarly 
developed in apical region, but abruptly constricted a little above third 
median nervule, and thence to anal angle being very much narrower 
than the corresponding portion in fore-wing ; base faintly tinged with 
fuscous-grey ; inner margin clouded with an ill-defined fuscous border- 
ing beyond middle. Under side. — Hind-ioing and bordering of fore- 
iving fuscoics-ochreous, with bright- silver g, narroivly hlach-edged spots, 
Fore-iving : on costa, at base, a longitudinal silvery streak ; two small, 
rounded, silvery-white spots in discoidal cell near base, and an elon- 
gated similar spot at extremity of cell; nine spots in apical region, 
viz., two minute ones close to costa ; one small rounded one a little be- 
yond end of cell ; two larger ones placed so as to form an oblique elongate 
marking between small rounded spot and apex, and four in a row from 
apex along hind-margin as far as third median nervule, the lowest 
spot the largest ; orange-fulvous replaced by a broad creamy band 
along inner margin ; inner portion of hind-marginal border below apical 
region marked with a row of three good-sized blackish spots. Hind- 
wing : on basal lobe of costa a rather large subovate spot ; beyond it, 
below costal nervure, two similar spots placed longitudinally ; a small 
spot in discoidal cell close to base, followed by a dot ; a very irregular, 
roughly V-shaped marking at extremity of cell ; between this marking 
and inner margin are a similar but more elongate marking and a rather 
small subovate spot ; beyond middle a very irregular transverse row of 
eight spots of various sizes and shapes, of which the second and fourth 
(of about equal size) are much larger than the rest ; a hind-marginal 
row of nine spots, of which the three last form an oblique line to inner 
margin beyond middle ; at anal angle a small, short, oblique, red mark, 
bordered on each side with white ; quite at base, below origin of sub- 
median nervure, a small round spot like the rest. 
Fore-iving with hind-marginal outline strongly elbowed about 
extremity of radial nervures. Hind-wing with a slight anal-angular 
lobe, and two tails of moderate length, broad at the base and taper- 
ing gradually to a point at extremities of first median nervule and sub- 
median nervure respectively. 
$ Similar to ^, hut fuscous bordering relatively not so hroad, and 
scarcely any tinge of fuscous at bases. Fore-iuing : bordering in 
apical region not so greatly wider than its other portion, and emitting 
no ray along subcostal nervure, but only two lines from costal edge on 
second and third subcostal nervules ; near anal angle the bordering 
is wider than about middle of hind-margin. Under side. — Bather 
paler in ground-colour, but otherwise as in Fore-iving : the lowest
