Generally much darker throughout thau C. m. macrourux 

 especially on the upper surface, which is of a deep ashy tint, 

 the under surface of the wings is also rather richer in colour

Range. From the Baro River south to the Lado Enclave, 

 Uganda (including Ruweuzori), greater part of British East

This race is also somewhat larger, having in males a M'ing- 

 measurement of 97-92 and in females 93-87 mm. ; as against 

 a wing-measurement in males of 93-86 and in females 

 95-85 in C. m. macrowus, though this is a character on 

 which little reliance can be placed.

This single female has the brown of the chest and throat
