[3. At least the forewing above b e t w e e n the veins with a distinct row of red, reddish-yellow or whitish 
submarginal spots; beneath these spots are combined into a submarginal band. Fringes of the wings 
white or whitish, at the ends of the veins spotted black. Hinclwing beneath variegated, with numerous 
black dots and between the veins 1 b and 7 with a coherent white or whitish discal transverse band, 
the spots of which are towards the base and margin bordered by black dots or transverse streaks. 
*. Forewing above without discal spots in 4 and 5. Hindwing beneath in the basal part orange-red 
and only with two black dots, one in the discal cell and one in area 7; all the other black dots border 
on the light grey discal band which is very broad in the areas 2 to 7; the area 7 of the hindwing 
beneath thus only shows 3 black dots. K. mohozvAzi. 
**. Forewing above with discal spots in 4 and 5 or at least in 4. Hindwing beneath in area 7 at least 
with 4 black dots or transverse streaks, two near the base and one on each side of the discal band. 
o. Hindwing beneath in the basal part without white, sharply defined basal spots, but with separate 
black dots, two in 7 and one each in 1 b and in the cell; its discal band is narrow and almost 
equally broad. 
1. Hind wing beneath with a fine dark marginal line. K. \paola. 
2. Marginal line of the hindwing beneath broken up into streaks or spots. K. tucusa. 
oo. Hindwing beneath in the basal part with three whitish spots on both sides bordered with black, 
one each in 1 c, 7 and the discal cell; ground-colour orange-red; discal band narrowed in 1 b to 3. 
K. chaca. 
B. Hindwing above uni-coloured blackish or at most with one white discal spot, beneath with light veins or 
light stripes from the margin almost to the base. 
а. Fringes of the_wings white with black spots at the ends of the veins. Hindwing above with a light spot 
at the end of the discal cell, beneath with two light longitudinal stripes, one in 1 c and one in the 
discal cell and area 5. Forewing with a discal spot in area 5. K. barberae. 
б. Fringes of the wings spotless, grey or whitish. Hindwing above without markings. Forewing without 
a discal spot in area 5. 
*. Ground-colour of the hindwing beneath light brown or yellowish-brown without separate black 
dots, but with lighter veins. 
o. Forewing without a discal spot in area 4. 
1. Hindwing beneath without a white longitudinal stripe at the anterior margin of the cell. 
a. Hindwing beneath with a dark line from the base through the discal cell and the area 4 
to the margin; area 1 b in its whole length darkened. K. brunneostriga. 
b. Hindwing beneath without a dark line in the discal cell, but at the proximal margin in 1 a 
to 1 c and at the apex in 6 and 7 more or less darkened. K. fenestrata. 
2. Hindwing beneath with a white longitudinal stripe filling up the anterior longitudinal half 
of the discal cell and the whole area 5; a similar, though narrower stripe extends from the 
centre of area 1 c to the margin. The proximal margin in 1 a is white, too. K. wallengreni. 
oo. Foreving in area 2 with a discal spot which is situate right in front of the spot in 3. 
K. niveostriga. 
**. Hindwing beneath with a blackish ground-colour, grey veins and some separate black dots in 5 to 7. 
Forewing with a discal spot in area 4. Hinder tibiae only with terminal spurs. K. lema. 
K. lepenula Wallengr. (= chersia Hew,). Wings above brown with light yellow markings, beneath 
uni-coloured light yellow without markings, only in the basal part of area 1 b on the forewing darkened blackish; 
forewing above in the basal part as far as the apex of the discal cell light yellow, then with a transverse 
band (only interrupted in 4 and 5) of large, oblong discal spots in 1 b to 3 (5), 6 to 8. South Africa: Cape 
Colony and Transvaal. 
K. macomo Trim. (= aleta Plotz) (78 b). Hindwing above with a yellow spot in the discal cell and 
an irregular, though complete row of yellow discal spots. The typical form differs from the following form by 
the hindwing beneath being almost monotonously yellow and marked with about ten small black dots. South 
Africa to Delagoa-Bay. — - marshalli form. nov. is somewhat larger, but above quite similar to the type, beneath 
different by the hindwing being orange-yellow at the proximal margin and along the centre (in the discal cell 
and the areas 4 and 5) and only exhibiting 6 somewhat larger black dots, one each in 1 b to 3, 6 to 8. Mashuna 
Land: Umtali, discovered by G. x4. K. Marshall.
