is of very sliort duration. A good many butterflies emerged on the 
journey to Graliamstown, and I extracted a fully-developed dead $ from 
one of the pupae sent to me. 
This species was first brought to my notice by Mr. W. S. M. D'Urban, 
F.L.S., who found it commonly near King William's Town in November i860 
and January 1861, sitting on rocks and stones. The same habits have been 
recorded for it by Mrs. Barber and Colonel Bowker. During my stay at 
Grahamstown in 1870, the season appeared to be an unfavourable one for the 
species, and I only met with a single specimen — a $ with very largely deve- 
loped orange markings, which was flying slowly on the Beacon Hill at High- 
lands, and looked on the wing like Acrcea MaJm^a. With a wide range over 
Eastern South Africa, Amakosa does not seem to be recorded from any station 
westward of the Albany district of Cape Colony.

$ Blackish-brown, ivith a hincl-r}iarginal orange-red band, macidar 
in fore-iving, very broad and unbroken in hind-wing. Fore-iving : band 
lying very close to hind-margin, composed of five elongate-ovate 
spotSj between subcostal nervure and first median nervule, gradually 
diminishing downward ; a small or minute orange spot immediately 
above first spot of band, and the trace of a still smaller spot just before 
it. Hind-iuing : band more than twice as broad as in fore-wing, 
except the first spot (between subcostal nervules), which is small, and 
in two out of three examples partly separate from band, and extending 
to submedian nervure, its outer edge sinuated by the very narrow dark 
hind-marginal streak. Under side. — Hind-iving and narrow apical 
and hind-marginal border of fore-wing very pale greyish-broion irre- 
gularly speckled with white. Fore-wing : orange band situated as on 
upper side, but not macular, the five spots being enlarged and con- 
fluent, — its outer edge with a series of blackish nervular indentations, 
its inner edge bounded by a conspicuous black streak \ costal area from
