and so does D. saga, as I learn from M. Peringuey, who discovered 
the latter in the Hex River Mountains of the Cape Colony. D. Iwibaia 
is stated by Mr, J. M. Hutchinson to be similarly attached to stones 
on the hills of the interior of Natal ; but Aslauga was found by Colonel 
Bowker to frequent dry branches and twigs. 
D. Amakosa has a wide range over Eastern South Africa, bat is 
not known to have occurred west of Grahamstown. The Hex River 
Mountains, in the west of the Cape Colony, are the only recorded loca- 
lity for D. saga ; and D. Iwibata appears to be peculiar to Upper Natal, 
while Aslauga is limited to the coast of that Colony. 
It is worthy of note that the larva departs widely from the ordinary 
onisciform Lyceenide type, and that both it and the pupa are very 
hairy.

JDark-broivn, inclining to fuscons ; each wing with a submarginal, 
curved-, transverse roiv of orange-yelloio spots. 
$ Fore-tving : row of six spots, forming almost a semicircle, ex- 
tending from subcostal to submedian nervure, — sometimes indistinctly 
marked. Hincl-iving : somewhat paler than fore-wing ; only four spots 
in transverse row, which is not markedly curved, extending from second 
subcostal to third median nervule. Cilia of both wings conspicuously 
chequered brown and white. Under side. — Fore-iving : hefore trans- 
verse row of spots rather thinly, heyoncl it thickly, irrorcUecl with whitish ; 
row of orange spots increased to a broad macular stripe, narrowly edged 
with black on each side ; the irrorations immediately succeeding stripe 
forming a series of acute, rather indistinct lunules. Hincl-iuing : uni- 
versally and densely irrorated with whitish ; the position of the transverse 
row of upper side faintly indicated by some scarcely distinguishable 
whitish spots, followed by some indistinct fuscous lunules. Cilia not 
so conspicuously chequered as above. 
$ Orange spots in hoth wings enlarged and confluent, forming ct 
Iroad hand, which in fore-wing widens at its lower extremity. Cilia 
as in ^. Under side. — Quite similar to that of $ ; orange band of 
fore-wing paler than on upper side. 
Both sexes are exceedingly variable as regards the orange markings. 
I The typical examples from near King William's Town and others from 
Kaflfraria Proper have these markings in their least developed condition, 
and in the J especially the spots are always very small, and some of 
them occasionally obsolete. Examples from the Natal Coast and the
