Bill mauve, darker at the tip ; legs and feet mauve ; toes 

 blue-black. 



In one male and four female specimens procured by 

 Mr. Bury the wing spots are golden green [= C. chalcospilus 

 Bonap. fide Sharpe, Bull. B. O. C. xii. p. 83 (1902)] . In the 

 sixth specimen, a male, the spots are partly purplish-blue 

 and partly golden green, but this change of colour is 

 obviously caused by exposure, for the purplish-blue portion 

 of each spot is the portion which is visible when the wings 

 are closed. C. delicatula Sharpe, from the While Nile, 

 appears to be synonymous with C. abyss'uiicus Sharpe, the 

 colour of the legs being much the same in both.
