Hab. Sierra Leone to Northern Angola. A rare species in collections. Dr. 

 Bntler, in his Revision of the genns Cliaraxes, said, that " up to the present time 

 Drury's figures are all that remain to show us what this species is like." However, 

 up to 1896 (the date of publication of the Revision) Ch. eudoxus had already been 

 recorded again by Moschler from Ashanti and by Dewitz from Angola. Dr. Pogge- 

 obtained apparently quite a number of specimens in Northern Angola.
