Lampides boeticus

Apparantly the accepted common name now is the Pea Blue, being previously called the Lucerne or Long-tailed Blue.The genus established by Hubner (1819) is monotypic. The TS from Linne's Papilio boeticus. It is widespread, but doesn't occur in the New World.

Graphium leonidas

The Veined Swordtail - not all the spp. of the genus have a sword tail. On a hot summers day it could often be found mud-puddling in the drift at the Cumberland campsite. These are two different specimens, I think both are form brasidas.

There is an Azanus Natalensis in the background, joining in the puddling.

    

Celaenorrhinus mokeezi

The Christmas Forester: This one was sunning itself at the forest margin of Ferncliffe, and true to its name, at this time of the year can be found in fair numbers particularly in the Mgeni NR.

    

Neptis laeta

The Common Sailer, not all that common here but more so than N. Saclava, (the previous post.) Sometimes they are found perched territorially, but I have always found them to be shy.
ToL lists 144 spp. with a wide distribution, but none from the Americas. There are six in RSA, but this one and N. Sacalva being the most common.
 

Neptis saclava

The Spotted Sailer -I think Sailer being the preferred spelling, referring to the appearance in flight (rather than to a mariner.)  The submarginal spots and underside basal mottling are characteristic. It is not all that common here, certainly less so than N. Laeta, though having a similar distribution: a band stretching inward from the Natal coast, and up into the Eastern and Northern Transvaal (old geography.)

Afrodryas leda

Eronia leda is now Afrodryas leda. The genus from Stoneham 1957, TS is  itself, originally Dryas leda Boisduval 1847. Is it monotypic?
Eronia cleodora stet.
 

Pinacopteryx eriphia

The Zebra White.
It is over a year now since we have moved home to Golden Pond in Hilton, no more than 9 km NW as the crow flies from our previous home, but 400 m higher in altitude. The butterfly population here is a bit different.
Anyway, a few days ago I found this butterfly at the edge of the pond. Not the most flattering photograph of an older specimen, but, despite being quite common, and widely distributed, it is my first, and so is special. As it left before I could get a picture of the upperside, I thought of Annie Dillard stalking her muskrats.
The genus is monotypic, being established by Wallengren from Pieris eriphia Godart as the TS.
