Hindwing : Five black, whitish ringed spots before middle, two of which 
are situated along inner margin, one in cell and the other two along 
analmargin. Large lunular marking closing cell as in forewing. A 
postmedian row of six chainlike spots, slightly darker than ground 
colour, edged with whitish. First spot before second ; second, third 
and fourth forming an inwardly oblique row ; fifth before fourth and 
sixth in a straight line underneath the fifth. Two sub -marginal 
indistinct rows of whitish sagittiform lunules of which the outer row 
together with a very indistinct marginal row of similiar lunules, 
forms imperfect rings. Black hindmargmal spots exteriorly bounded 
by greenish metalic scaling, interiorly by a thin indistinct orange line. 
Besides this spot there is a trace of a similar smaller spot at analangle 
covered with some greenish metalic scaling. 
Cilia greyish at base, whitish outwardly. 
This Lycaena was discovered by Mr. Gr. W. Jeffery at Ulundi, near 
Barberton, after whom I have much pleasure in naming the species. Its 
nearest ally is Lycaena (Cat ochry sops) skotios, Druce, but distinguished 
on upperside by its violaceous gloss, its whitish cilia and by the under- 
side being greyish instead of olivaceous brown, with the markings and their 
edging less distinct, the black spots also being smaller than those repro- 
duced in the figure of Lycaena skotios. The sagittiform lunules, which 
are in the same figure of L. skotios very distinct are hardly visible in 
L. Jefferyi, and this species also lacks the pale marginal line in both wings 
which is replaced by a brownish linear edging. The black hindmarginal 
spot, which is described in L . skotios , Druce, as “broadly covered and 
partially surrounded by rich orange 55 is in L. Jefferyi only a mere indistinct 
orange edging. 
Length of forewing : 19 mm. 
Habitat : Ulundi, near Barberton, 21st October, 1906. (Jeffery.) 
PHASIS DEN TATIS, Swierstra. 
Upperside : Orange yellow, with blackish brown borders. 
Fore wing : Base lighter than disc, dusted with some blackish scaling. 
Black border commencing on costa past middle, widest at apex, 
abruptly narrowed on vein 4 and then continued evenly along 
hind margin to vein 1. 
Hindwing : Border commencing on costa past middle, forming an equal 
patch above vein 4, where it narrows and continues as a interiorly 
deeply dentated hindmarginal streak to analangle, where it becomes 
a thin edging. 
Cilia brownish. 
Underside : Hindwing, apical and hindmarginal border of forewing 
purplish-lake with the usual spots in forewing, and spots and sharply 
dentated stripes in hindwing. 
Fore wing : Orange yellow about same colour as on upperside, becoming 
lighter towards innermargin. Three black, silvery- white centred 
spots in cell, the one closing cell has got the white centre T-shaped, 
which might be individual. A post-median row of five black, inter- 
nally whitish edged spots of which the second is nearest base and so
