[Jan. 18, with grey, the upper half of discoidal cell, the lower half of discoidal interspace, and the centres of the interspaces thence to the costa whitish; nervures terminating in minute black points; costa and apical half of outer margin ochraceous. Expanse of wings 1 inch 6 lines. 2 . Sulphur-yellow or white, base dusky; primaries with a more or less defined (but always pale) grey internal streak; a black point at end of cell; outer margin broadly black, dentate-hastate internally ; immediately beyond and touching the points of the denticles an oblique angulated black band (the two sometimes barely distinguishable owing to the expansion of the black points) ; the spots left between the border and the band and a narrow streak inside the latter orange or sulphur-yellow; secondaries with a series of triangular marginal black spots, a blackish subapical costal spot, and a badly-defined W-shaped marking cut by the third median branch ; wings below more deeply coloured than in the male ; the cell of primaries tinted with sulphur-yellow; otherwise the same.

Wings above as in the preceding species ; secondaries below sandy whitish, irrorated with grey-brown ; a black-and-orange dot at end of cell; a congregation of brown atoms on subcostal interspace near apex, and another on the disk, cut by the third median branch. Expanse of wings 1 inch 5 lines. 2 • Wings above white ; base grey ; primaries with a more or less defined but always pale grey internal streak, ending in a blackish spot; a black dot at end of cell; apex broadly black, crossed by an ill-defined series of minute squamose orange spots ; inner edge of apical patch sometimes bordered with sulphur-yellow ; secondaries with a more or less strongly defined series of marginal black spots, the three next to apex largest and sometimes united ; a black subapical costal spot, and a larger spot on discoidal interspace, sometimes throwing off a smaller diffused blackish spot on each side: primaries below white, showing the discocellular dot and internal spot of upper surface ; apex clay-coloured or sandy, irrorated with grey, and bordered within by an oblique series of four black or brown spots ; secondaries clay-coloured or sandy, irrorated with grey; a black spot or black-and-orange point at end of cell; and an angulated series of black or brown discal spots. Expanse of wings 1 inch 4-5 lines. Between Natal and Delagoa Bay (4 examples, E. C. Buxton). Type, B.M. This is the Anthopsyche eucharis of Wallengren, but not of Fabricius. 46.
