Under-side : resembles C. Brutus, but the markings generally darker, and the white 

 band narrower and more clearly defined. 



? . U_p2}er-side : as male, but with the white band broader, and beyond the third 

 median ncrvule of fore-wing changuig to ochreous-red ; touching and beyond 

 the extremity of cell an elongated marking, above this a triangular group of five 

 spots, all ochreous-red, the costa edged with the same colour. 



Under-side : resembles that of the male. 



Expanse, 3 inches. Habitat, Madagascar. 



Chakaxes Andbiba, n. s. 



<J . Size and foi'm of C. Zoolina. Upper-side : ochreous-red, with apex and outer 

 margin of both wings broadly bordered with brown, a brown spot crossing the 

 cell of fore-wing, hind-wing with one tail. 



Under-side : light reddish-brown, lustrous at outer margin, both wings crossed by a 

 narrow band of darker brown, edged inwardly with silver, several small silvery 

 markings at the anal angle. 



Expanse, 2i inches. Habitat, Madagascar. 



Tlie upper-side of this species rather resembles that of C. Zoolina, 

 whilst the under-side is near C. Neanthes. I have recently received 

 C. Zoolina and G. Candiope from Madagascar, the former does not 

 differ from the Natal examples, the latter has the apical half of fore- 

 wing much darker than the Natal specimens, and will probably be the 

 species recently described by M. Lucas as G. Antaviboulou, and his G. 

 Antanala is the same as G. Gacuthis, Hewitson.
