the above-mentioned brownish bhiek semicircular mai-k, while it runs almost straight 

 to the submediiin nervnre iu mj- species. Underside of the hindwings almost 

 exactly marked as in the species from Madagascar. 



Expanse of wings : 3-54 inches = 90 mm.

cJ. Up per side : both wings dark blue or brownish black, when viewed from 

 different sides. Forewings with a curved median row of fonror five light blue spots, 

 the first of them stands near the end of the cell ; a second row, situated towards 

 the apical margin of the wing, consists of two white spots near the costal margin 

 and some very fiiint light blue spots, the last of which alone, near the anal angle, is 

 obvious ; outer margin feebly marked with white between the nervnles. 



Hindwings with a row of semilunar light blue sjiots crossing the disc, posteriorly 

 approaching the anal angle, with a submarginal row of small white spots, and a 

 marginal pale blue line, interrupted at the nervnles. 



Lnderside : both wings drab colour, disc a little darker. Forewings with a 

 submarginal row of marks, namely : one double spot in the anal angle, and a 

 rotmded one in the second cellule, both black, interiorly bordered with a yellowish 

 lunnle each, which itself is margined at the discal side with black, exteriorly 

 bordered with pale blue; three indistinct blackish spots in the median cellules, 

 interiorly bordered with yellowish colour, then two white spots corresponding to 

 those on the upper surface ; cell crossed by three black lines ; a thin line near 

 the apex of the cell, a transverse band between the third l)ranch of the niedian 

 nervnle and the snbmedian nervule, consisting of three Innular marks, and two linear 

 markings inside this band, of a black colour. 



Hindwings with a number of black linear markings ; two lines crossing the 

 cell, stopping at the median nervnle, and a quite irregular row of short markings 

 crossing the disc ; a row of luuular slightly yellowish olive spots, the posterior of 

 which situated in the anal angle and marked with two blackish lines like the 

 preceding one ; a submarginal row of white point-like spots which bear exteriorly 

 — chiefly the posterior ones — a blue and black mark. 



Tails of the hindwings moderately long and thin. 



Expanse of wings : 3'7 inches = 94 mm. 



Ha/K Lukolele (X. Congo). 



Similar to C/t. numencs Hew. on the upperside, but differs in the hindwings 

 having an almost continuous marginal pale blue band ; the underside is nearly 

 marked as in Gh. tiridates Cram., but the two black lines crossing the cell are not 

 united at their ends as in that species. The tails of the hindwings are much longer 

 than in Ch. numencs Hew., but shorter than in <'h. tir/dati's Cram. 



4. Charaxes bipunctatus s)i. nov. 

 ij. Uppertiide of both wings dark blue. Anterior wings with a median 

 row of four light blue spots, the two first are situated near the end of the 

 cell; and with a small white spot behind the costal margin at the begin- 

 ning of the apical fifth. Ajiical margin yellowish l)etweeu the nerv-ules. 

 Hindwings with a small light blue spot behind the middle of the costa, and
