Hindwing green in basal third and snbmarginal area ; the yellowish shade of the 

 fiirewing extended well over tlie disc and •,^radnally fading away behind, rather 

 well-defined di>tally between C and R^ ; a series of distinct black subraarginai spots 

 contiguous with minnte pale dots. 



Urnlerside pale greyish green. Forewing with three spots in cell, traee< of 



two dots on cross-veins ; narrow subajiical band as above, but last spot a little 



larger ; vestiges of submarginal spots. Hindwing : one dot in cell ; no discal 



dots ; costal margin ochraceoiis at base ; a jjale stripe, rather broad, from base in 

 front of cell, then limited by C and SC, extended to submarginal dot C— SC^ ; 

 four indistinct jiale discal patches, separate from one another ; a complete series of 

 black submarginal dots, contiguons with larger pale ones. 



?. Similar to i, subapical band of forewing wider, the second and third spots 

 being longer than broad ; pale area of both wings more extended, esjiecially on 

 hindwing, greyish green, glossy ; submarginal black and pale spots of forewing 

 below distinct, except upper ones, and those of hindwing larger.

(?. AVings, tippcrside, marginal spots of both wings yellow, larger than in 

 West African numenes ; admarginal spots of hindwing also enlarged, confluent, 

 yellow ; white submarginal dots smaller than in numenes nH.men'>s, discal spots a 

 little more proximal, tail longer. 



Underside much more cinnamon than in num. numenes, the paler parts more 

 ochraccons-oinnamon, black lines of proximal half of hindwing thin ; marginal, 

 respectively admarginal, spots of both wings yellowish.

S- Difters from South African eclierioides in the following jioints : yellowish 

 white baud of hindwing, upperside, narrower, its inner edge distal of base of M- ; 

 submarginal spots all as large as in jaclisoni ; not so far away from the margin, 

 the first, or the first and second, seldom also the third, joined to the respective 

 marginal dots as in liomej/n ; in some specimens there is a small white spot 

 proximally of the third submarginal one. Differences of underside similar to those 

 of nji| erside. 



¥. IJesembles more that sex oi jacksoni. Ujiperside : markings all shaded 



with bait. Forewing: discal patch M'— M- nearly as m jaeksoni, elliptical, 



smaller than in ec/ier. echerioides and homeyeri ; submarginal spots as large as in 

 jacksoni and in the same position, except the first, which is marginal ; discal spots

as in /iome//eri not reaching beyond SC^, narrower in middle than in homei/eri, but 

 wider between M' and M-, inner edge only 1 or 2 mm. jiroximal of M- ; submarginal 

 spots all large as in jacksoni ; less proximal, the upper one tuuciiing margin ; a 

 small discal dot R=— R^ in one of the two specimens. On the underside the spots
