outer margin, tbe band proximally withont pale bine edge between SC^-* and M' or 

 M- ; there is occasionally a vestige of a median liar within jiatch R' — M'. Hind- 

 wing : band inclnsive of pale glaucous blue borders 7 to S mm. broad in middle, 

 stopping at (SM'), no blue scaling proximally between C and R' ; subniarginal 

 white dots minute, mostly vestigial, anal admarginal interstitial spot linear, blue, a 

 trace of a blue admarginal sjiot behind R^, no other admarginal markings. 



Underside : ecrn drab, bars black. Forewing : cell-bar 2 short, bar 3 repre- 

 sented by two conspicuous dots, bar 4 angled in middle, the angle pointing distad, 

 much nearer base of M- than that of M'; bar D very thiu; submedian bar M- — (SM') 

 heavy, bar W — M- about 1 mm. more distal than bar M- — (SM') and than cell-bar 4; 

 median bars SC'^ — R^ almost continuous, very thin, 6 mm. from cell at K', bar 

 U^ — M' about ] mm. more distal, bars M' — SM- gradually a little more pro.ximal, 

 all tbe bars more or less straight, at right angles to the veins ; discal intersi)aces 

 R'^ — SM- milky white ; discal bars brown, regularly arched, concave distally, thin^ 

 vestigial, or absent, bar R-* — M- close to median bar, postdiscal interspaces milky 

 white, last ones merged together with discal patches ; postdiscal bar (SM') — SM- 

 represented by a black patch, 4 mm. distant from outer margin, all the others 

 replaced by wax yellow spots, which show distally sometimes vestiges of the black 

 liars : these spots are homologous to the proximal borders of the discal bars, the 



series about parallel to outer margin, upjier ones 5 to mm. distant from it. 



Hindwing : no basal and subbasal costal bars, subbasal bar C — SC- also absent ; 

 submedian series nearly continuous, or more obviously broken at veins, the bars 

 more or less straight ; median bars thin, continuous, the line crossing M at base of 

 M-, broken at SM-, proximal half or more of discal interspaces white ; discal bars 

 arched, concave distally, all well marked, of even thickness, the series slightly 

 convex in middle, all the bars with very thin, milky white, distal edges, followed by 

 postdiscal, wax yellow, halfmoons which are bordered distally by the thin, black, 

 jiostdiscal bars ; submarginal white dots larger than above, jiosterior ones with 

 ])urplish blue scales at outer side, followed by the black, short, submarginal bars ; 

 admarginal interspaces wax yellow, anal one more greyish olive buff ; tails acute,^ 

 upper one 3 to 4 mm., second 2 mm. long. 



9 . Unknown. 



Length of forewing : 34 to 36 mm. 



D' of hindwing reaches M before joint of origin of M'. 



Clasper broad, dorsal edge convex, irregularly notched before end, ajjex 

 gradually narrowed into a short-pointed honk ; the ridge which extends from the 

 end of the hook to the inner surface of the clasper notched, appearing denticulated ; 

 tenth tergite rounded.

]{esembles on the upperside C//. bratus. 



Specimens from N. Angola have generally more jjale blue scaling on the 

 hindwing than those from the countries farther north. 



p*. Discal bars M* — SM- of forewing below present ; if absent (some ? S ), 

 admarginal interspaces C — R^ of hindwing occupietl liy thin, linear, 

 rufous red bars. 

 m^. Median bars SC — SM^ of forewing below not continuous, bar R- — R^ 

 being more proximal than the others.
